Inside SNG to explain pipeline

risks at information session

News - Members of Sustainable North Grenville have organized a public information session, which will take place at the Municipal Centre on Sept. 18 at 7 p.m.

The session deals with the proposed TransCanada pipeline, which will run through the North East corner of the community.

According to Chris Weissflog, a member of SNG, the intention of the session is to raise public awareness about the possible risks associated with the pipeline.

The TransCanada Energy East pipeline has organized an open house of its own, to take place on Oct. 2 between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. at the Municipal Centre.

“We intend to go, as individuals, to ask questions,” said Weissflog.

Weissflog said SNG feels it’s their responsibility to present the other side of the issue for the public’s consideration.

“We don’t feel they will discuss the risks,” said Weissflog.

He said that TransCanada is currently making announcements that may not be accurate, with regards to jobs. SNG members are looking forward to the opportunity to voice their concerns at the open house.

“We’re not necessarily against the pipeline,” said Weissflog.

“We want to hear what they have to say. Open dialogue is to our advantage.”

The SNG information session is intended to balance the TransCanada open house, so residents are privy to both sides of the issue.

“That’s why we decided to have our own information session,” said Weissflog, “to keep people informed of the other side of the argument.”

The speakers at the SNG information session include members of Ecology Ottawa, who will focus on the local and regional impacts of the pipeline.

The individuals invited to speak have been to the tar sands and have photographs to show the residents of North Grenville.

Members of the Council of Canadians will be in attendance to discuss the big picture and economic argument of the pipeline. They will go into detail about climate change, tar sands, the government’s perspective and what the organization is doing on their end. Ian Angus, a member of SNG, will be speaking about the local impact of the pipeline.

North Grenville Mayor David Gordon will be in attendance and has been asked to say a few words after the presentations.

The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and kick off at 7 p.m. There will be a quick welcome and then the moderator will be introduced. Each speaker will be given between 10 and 15 minutes to explain their point of view on the issue. After the mayor says a few words to sum up the event, the floor will be open to the audience to direct questions to the speakers. The speakers will be available after the information session is concluded for residents to approach privately with any questions.

A petition, drafted by SNG, will be available at the session for residents’ consideration. As stated in the petition, residents are opposed to the pipeline until ‘a full assessment has been made of potential impacts on our drinking water, air and land and associated risks to the Rideau River system.’

“It’s for people to sign if they haven’t already,” said Weissflog.

Weissflog said SNG feels the assessments of pipelines conducted by the National Energy Board are not complete enough.

He said it would be unreasonable to be against the pipeline, but rather hopes to maintain an open dialogue on the matter.

“We want to work within our community, be cooperative and collaborative, to determine what is best for the community,” he said. “We should move together as a community, but we can’t blindly move in this direction with massive issues like climate change looming over our heads.”

segment on CTVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Regional Contact, that was rebroadcast a few times, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brought in a lot of new customers, not only to our store, but to Smiths Falls,â&#x20AC;? adds Brandum.

For Brandum though, some of the real satisfaction comes from how the REAL Deal has touched and helped people, and created local jobs in the environmental field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very proud

that we have hired from the ranks of our volunteers, and that a number of our volunteers have gained confidence and life and work skills at the REAL Deal and have â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;graduatedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to regular jobs in the community,â&#x20AC;? she says.

The REAL Deal is on Facebook where it regularly posts pictures of new items, its monthly silent auction, special sales and repurposing ideas. The store also keeps a Wish Book, calling customers should their particular item come in.

And, it keeps some customer comment books. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those are so gratifying to read,â&#x20AC;? says Brandum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One customer commented that we were â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;busier than Walmart,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; another that she had found her youth here, yet another that the REAL Deal is the best used store in eastern Ontario, and another who found a set of dishes that reminded her of when her children were young â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s those stories that really touch you.â&#x20AC;?

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The REAL Deal Reuse Store is celebrating its fifth anniversary with a storewide 50 per cent off sale.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way of thanking the thousands of supporters who understand how important it is to keep good stuff out of area landfills â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and who have consequently helped the REAL Deal to grow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Between donors and buyers, we now have 10,000 visits a year,â&#x20AC;? says Susan Brandum, executive director of the REAL Deal.

The REAL Deal is a project of the Rideau Environmental Action League, a 24-year-old environmental charity based in Smiths Falls. The store, which is a social enterprise, receives donated goods from householders and renovators, and sells the goods, putting the proceeds into its other environmental projects. It carries kitchenware, decorative items, art, books, sports and recreation goods, jewelry, collectibles, antiques, furniture, small appliances, lighting, hardware, doors, windows, renovation materials, flooring, bathroom vanities, sinks, gardening supplies, pet supplies, craft materials, cds and kids videos, cards, and numerous other things.

With the initial support of Guy Saumure & Sons, REAL launched the REAL Deal seven years ago, in the old Parks Canada building opposite Drummonds Gas. But that building had to be torn down, and the REAL Deal was in limbo for a year until it moved into its current location at 85 William St. West, an old municipal works building no longer used by the Town of Smiths Falls that is opposite the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just those few years ago, not a lot of people understood what we were about.

But that has completely turned around.

People get it now. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy to buy used when the item is available, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really happy their old stuff finds a good home. Today, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re diverting about 35 tonnes each year from area landfills,â&#x20AC;? says Brandum.

In the five years at their current location, they estimate they have diverted about 140 tonnes from landfills. And the REAL Deal has been something of a model for a few area municipalities that have set up their own reuse centres at their dumps.

New customers at the REAL Deal often ask why their purchases are weighed before they leave, and why the clerks ask for their municipality. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the operation collects the weights on goods donated, purchased, and sent to its free tables, to other non-profits, to recycling and to garbage, so it can report those numbers to the municipalities that help support it. Those include Smiths Falls, Drummond/North Elmsley and Montague. Those municipalities in turn get a little extra revenue from Waste Diversion Ontario for the diversions.

(Experienced customers occasionally remind the clerks to weigh, if, in a rush, the clerk has forgotten!)

The REAL Deal has two part-time paid staff, manager Tracy Thomson, who has a particular passion for collectibles and antiques, and assistant Don Harvey. But it would not function without its incredible group of volunteers.

On any given day, from four to eight volunteers are busy on cash, receiving, pricing, cleaning and sorting. About half volunteer the full three days the store is open, meaning they put in 18 hours a week. Over the course of a year, about 35 volunteers contribute to the REAL Deal, and put in an impressive total of 4,500 hours.

The REAL Deal is also now a tourist

My Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talent showcase coming to a high school near you this month Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s September â&#x20AC;&#x201C; time once again for My Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talent auditions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where we look for the best talent in Lanark County to showcase at the finale.

This year, the event will take place in Carleton Place on Oct. 25. Auditions for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show will take place during the last week of September, with the judges stopping from 4 to 9 p.m. at St. John Catholic High School in Perth on Sept. 23; Smith Falls District Collegiate Institute on Sept. 24; Almonte District High School in Mississippi Mills on Sept. 25, and Carleton Place High School on Sept. 26.

The goal: to select the 15 semi-finalists for the show.

At the finale, presented by Metroland (EMC) and Town and Country Chrysler, along with Lake 88.1, our celebrity judges, with help from fans in the county through an on-line poll, will select the five finalists.

Once again, the evening will feature the audience voting for the overall winner from those five finalists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The finale in Perth last year was outstanding,â&#x20AC;? according to Christy Bindhardt, artistic director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had an incredible variety of talent, from dancers to solo singers to trios to a guitar instrumentalist to a slam poet.â&#x20AC;?

If you can dance, do poetry, drum, do comedy, or are the best entertainer in whatever you do, then we want you out at our auditions! â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of the details for auditioning are on our website,â&#x20AC;? noted Bindhardt.

The website is www.mtgt.org, where you can also see photos of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

show, which was won by Alexander Cox from Carleton Place.

In addition to the auditions for performers, there are also two new categories for youth to participate in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to give more youth an opportunity to participate, so this year we are having a Host Competition and a Logo Design Competition,â&#x20AC;? said Bindhardt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the hosts, we are looking for actors, comedians, or youth who just love to talk, to try out to be part of the finale event. The semi-finalists in this competition will each host a athird of the first part of the evening, and then the winner will host the exciting final five portion of the night â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and again, the audience will vote for the host with the most!â&#x20AC;?

In addition, there will be a contest for the budding designers in Lanark County who think they are able to create a new logo for My Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had the same logo for two years, so it is time to create a new one â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and what better way than to have the youth of the county design one for us,â&#x20AC;? said Bindhardt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The audience will see all five semi-finalists work at the finale, and will select the winner as well. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity for even more youth to become involved in My Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talent!â&#x20AC;?

The venue for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Finale show is the Cafetorium of the Carleton Place High School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Following tradition, we are moving the Finale to another town again,â&#x20AC;? said show producer Fraser Scantlebury of the United Way, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and this year, it is Carleton Placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turn to shine on Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. After the excellent

reception we had in Perth last year, and before that for two years in Almonte, we look forward to strong support from the folks in Carleton Place for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show. We will be going all out to make the finale a professional and fun event for everyone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both the contestants and the audience.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once again, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event will feature the ability for fans to vote for their favorite act by donating online to the United Way Lanark County,â&#x20AC;? continued Scantlebury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These votes will be combined with the judgesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; choices to select the five finalists, who will then perform once more for the audience, who will then vote for the winner. Audience members receive one ballot each, and when the five performances are over, we count up the votes immediately to see who wins. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fun-filled, action packed night, where fifteen hopefuls battle it out to be in the final five, and then go on to try and bring back the title of best in Lanark County to their hometown!â&#x20AC;?

As in previous years, the event is in support of the United Way Lanark County annual fall campaign. All donations at the door for the finale will go towards the United Wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth initiatives in Lanark County, supporting the United Wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five youth centre member agencies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an excellent opportunity for the county to see what our youth member agencies do for the young people in their communities,â&#x20AC;? noted Johann Ramsaran, chair of the board of the United Way Lanark County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All five â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Carleton Place Youth Centre, Lanark Highlands Youth Centre, YAK Youth Centre

SMITHS FALLS KINSMEN in conjunction with â&#x20AC;Ś

in Perth, Smiths Falls and District Youth Centre, and Take Young People Seriously (TYPS) Youth Centre from Mississippi Mills â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will be helping out at the auditions and the final show. At the finale, community members will have the opportunity to meet youth from each centre, and learn about what their local youth centre is doing in their community.â&#x20AC;?

An event such as My Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talent takes the generous support of the community, and the United Way would welcome any local businesses or organizations that want to help out and

sponsor the finale. Please contact Emily Danaher, fund development officer, at the United Way Lanark County office (613-253-9074) for further details. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once again, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now up to the youth of the County to come forward and sign up for the auditions,â&#x20AC;? said Bindhardt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have the judges getting ready â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and we want to see the best in the county at the auditions. Just go to www.mtgt.org for all the details, or contact the United Way at 613-253-9074, and we will see you there!â&#x20AC;?

Runciman to post detailed expense reports on website News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Senator Bob Runciman announced recently he will soon start posting his expenses on his website. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Senate, as an unelected body, should set the gold standard for public access to spending practices,â&#x20AC;? Runciman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will post details of spending for travel, hospitality, expenses while in Ottawa for Senate sittings, and other details of my office and research budget.â&#x20AC;?

Runciman said he will follow the lead of Senator Doug Black, of Alberta, who earlier this year became the first member of the Senate to post detailed expenses on his website. Black made accountability a major plank in his 2012 election campaign for the Alberta Senate seat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always believed we have an obligation as Senators to be as transparent

as possible, and recent news about Senate spending has only reinforced that belief,â&#x20AC;? Runciman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money and they have a right to know how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re spending it.â&#x20AC;?

Runciman noted that he was part of the Mike Harris cabinet that implemented the sunshine list in Ontario, requiring the annual disclosure of salaries above $100,000 in the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s broader public sector. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the type of transparency that the public wants, and deserves,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Runciman said he hopes to have the reporting system up and running, with details posted at www.bobrunciman. com, before the Senate resumes sitting this fall.

Hope 4 Hope to host ball tournament Sept. 21-22, benefit dance Oct. 12 Community – Hope 4 Hope is a group of family and friends who have rallied together to raise money for a dear family member and a dear friend. Last year, Hope (Wilkinson) Healey, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. After a 12hour surgery, she was told she was cancer free. She continued to be sick for a while, but then began to feel better. Unfortunately, the cancer is back and doctors have told her there is nothing more they can do for her.

Hope 4 Hope understands all of the unique challenges Hope and her family are and will be facing.

Our goal is to fundraise to be able to provide Hope with some comfort and peace of mind knowing that there is and will be some sort of financial assistance from all the en-

deavours of her family and friends.

Beginning in July this year, Hope’s mother and aunts held an online auction with proceeds used to send Hope and husband Joe to Niagara Falls for a well-deserved peaceful and private get away.

While visiting Niagara Falls, Hope and Joe were overjoyed with all the generosity, kindness and support they received.

Since then Hope 4 Hope has had a yard sale and is continuing with selling of Hope 4 Hope wrist bands.

We also received an incredible offer from Walmart (Smiths Falls) to allow us to sell wristbands and have an ‘In Kindness’ donation jar.

Walmart (Smiths Falls) has generously offered to match all money collected dollar for dollar.

Upcoming events are a Mixed

Slo-Pitch Ball Tournament and a benefit dance. The ball tournament will be hosting 12 teams in Lanark on Sept. 21 and 22. Once again tremendous support and hard work by organizers will be raising support and funds for Hope. The tournament has received donations of some equipment for the tournament.

Organizers Dan Wilkinson and Julie Nagle continue to collect donations for raffle items and will also be selling wristbands to help cover costs of barbecue items. All of the proceeds of the tournament are going to Hope 4 Hope.

Also coming up on Saturday, Oct. 12 is a benefit dance which will be held at Smiths Falls Civitan Hall. We have been very fortunate to have two live bands with us for

the evening. Royale with Cheese and rukkus have generously offered their musical talents to play great dancing tunes for our guests.

The evening will begin at 5 p.m. with a barbecue available for guests to have a bite to eat before the dance begins at 7 p.m. We will also be offering door prizes, raffle draws, a 50/50 draw and a light meal will be provided later in the evening. We are continuing to canvass local merchants, family and friends for contributions of door prizes and raffle items.

Anyone interested in contributing in any way, contact Sheila Beaupre at either 613-283-9266 or sheilabeaupre@ripnet.com or Christine Brown at kianraylin@ gmail.com.

Community – The storms that day could have knocked the power out, but it wouldn’t have made any difference. North Bay’s Matthew Hendry, in Smiths Falls for work, got a real kick out of peddling to produce power for the REAL-sponsored Tune Your Ride show Aug. 22. Once the rain finally stopped that day, musicians and singers Jessica Moore, Abigail Lapell and Dana Sipos put on a concert for about 25 people and boaters in Victoria Park. Tune Your Ride peddled from Toronto to Ottawa.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

No safe time to drink alcohol when pregnant DEAR EDITOR: For the first time ever, Canada has one national set of low-risk alcohol drinking guidelines. These guidelines, intended for Canadians of legal drinking age who choose to drink alcohol, aim to provide consistent information across the country to help Canadians moderate their alcohol consumption.

The new guidelines outline standard drinks sizes, limits for men and women, recommendations for youth and when zero is the limit.

Specifically, guideline 4 recommends that the safest choice for those who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or are breastfeeding is no alcohol at all. Alcohol exposure in pregnancy can cause birth defects and brain damage to your baby. This lifelong disability is called Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and it does not go away as the child ages. For more information and resources, call the health unit or visit our website.

The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit kicked off a “No safe type, no same time, no safe amount” campaign Sept. 6 and 7 in Smiths Falls and Perth. This message refers to the recommendation that there is no safe time (or trimester) during a pregnancy to drink alcohol, no safe type or brand of alcohol during pregnancy (including coolers,

beer, wine and spirits) and no safe amount of alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Information was available at any of our partners’ locations in Smiths Falls and Perth: Rob Roy’s, Red Fox, The Golden Arrow, Fiddleheads Bar and Grill, and O’Reilly’s Pub. Fifty per cent of pregnancies are unplanned, so it is possible you drank alcohol before you realized you were pregnant. If this is the case, stop drinking immediately and contact your health care provider.

It is important to maintain your health throughout your reproductive years, even if you aren’t planning to have a baby any time soon. This includes monitoring your drinking and living a healthy lifestyle. Remember, if you are not actively preventing pregnancy with a reliable method of birth control, you are planning a pregnancy.

A great alternative to drinking alcohol at any time is to substitute alcoholic drinks for non-alcoholic cocktails, also known as “mocktails.”

Mocktails are a delicious and fun way to have a drink without the effects of alcohol. For mocktail recipes, visit www.healthunit.org/alcoholdrug/ alcohol/mocktails.htm.

COMMENTARY Time to show off your talents Editorial – Dust off those tap shoes and grab your microphone!

Fall is just around the corner and the United Way of Lanark County is once again busy planning its My Town’s Got Talent event. This year’s event will be held in the Carleton Place High School cafetorium on Oct. 25, but there’s still plenty of time for local youth to take part.

In addition to the traditional categories (dance, comedy, poetry, etc.), there is also a host competition and logo design competition component to this year’s My Town’s Got Talent.

The semi-finals get underway throughout the county during the last week of September, from 4 to 9 p.m.: Sept. 23 at St. John Catholic High School in Perth; Sept. 24 at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute in Smiths Falls; Sept. 25 at Almonte District High School; and Sept. 26 at Carleton Place High School. During the finale, fans throughout the county will select the five finalists, along with help from celebrity judges.

This initiative is a great opportunity for the youth of our communities to showcase their special skills, have fun while doing so and raise much-needed funds to continue the efforts of the United Way. All donations will go towards the non-profit organization’s fall campaign and support its youth initiatives in Lanark County, which includes five youth centres.

Those looking to lend a helping hand through sponsorship can contact the United Way at 613-253-9074.

Fall fair left a lasting impression for Mary this one year Lifestyle – Weeks had passed since the Renfrew Fair. But I couldn’t get the picture out of my mind. It haunted me when I lay in bed at night, and many times during the day.

Had not Uncle Lou sent Mother money in an envelope with the sole purpose of taking us five children to the Renfrew Fair, there is a good chance we may not have gone that year. Mother said money was scarcer than hen’s teeth, and that year we may have to miss the fair. It would be the first time ever, and how Uncle Lou knew of our situation is beyond me.

But he always seemed to be there with a helping hand when we needed it most.

So crisp bills came...not American, even though Uncle Lou lived in New York, but Canadian money simply sent in an envelope in the mail, with a note scrawled on a piece of note paper saying “enjoy the fair”.

So we were going after all. The usual preparations took place. A big lunch packed in an 11 quart basket... shards of ice from the ice house in a glass jar of iced tea...sugar cookies,

and a bowl of sliced cucumbers, radishes, and green onions...there was no such thing as plastic containers, or saran wrap back in the 30’s. A couple blankets to throw down on the grass, and we were all set.

Mother had doled out Uncle Lou’s money to each of us to spend as we wished. Audrey said she was sure she had kept back a bill or two, and we kids would never see it. It would go right into the sugar bowl with Mother’s egg money!

The three brothers vanished into the crowd at the fairgrounds almost before Father brought the old Model T to a stop. They were told not to spend their money on food...there was plenty under the blanket on the grass!

Mother would go to see the embroidery work and the baking, and Father would head for the livestock.

My sister Audrey was saddled with looking after me, although there was no danger of a youngster of my age wandering off alone in those days.

I knew where the blanket was, and I would be perfectly safe to come Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

and go as I pleased. Audrey said she would give me one half hour, and that was it. Then I was on my own.

I told her I would like to just walk around…and wander in front of the big tents where the side-shows were, knowing perfectly well going inside was forbidden territory for me. But always out on the platform was a look of what a quarter would get you inside.

I was fascinated at one stage where a little monkey sat on a chair eating a banana. I have no idea what was in the tent, but Audrey assured me it wasn’t suitable for the eyes of a sixyear-old!

We wandered on, me holding tightly to Audrey’s hand, passing one tent

after another, all looking very forbidding to me.

Then we came to the last tent in the row. A man, who looked like hadn’t seen bath water for a year, was honking through a horn affair inviting people in to see what he called “the oddities of mankind.” I had to ask Audrey what oddities meant, and she said just to look up on the stage.

And there stood two little people.

Their hair had been cut close to their heads, and they stood just a few feet tall. Their faces were wrinkled, and even at my young age, I saw such sadness and despair in their eyes as they scanned the crowd around the stage.

They looked so frightened, and the man kept yelling out to the people in front, that for a quarter...“just twentyfive cents” he said, go into the tent and have a closer look.

My heart went out to those two little people on the stage, in the blinding sun, and unbearable heat, and I wanted to climb up the steps and yank the horn out of the man’s hands, and go to the little people and put my arms around them.

I wanted to tell the people who were willing to part with a quarter, to turn away, look the other way. And I started to cry. My eyes connected with one of the little people, and her face, I thought softened, and I smiled in her direction. But the man was already shooing them off the stage and into the tent where those who had paid could get a closer look.

I asked my sister why people would pay for this, and I told her I wanted to go to where our blanket was and sit for a spell and try to get the picture out of my mind.

That year the rides didn’t seem as much fun, and the candy floss not as sweet.

The picture stayed with me long after the Renfrew Fair was over. Like two lost souls, they were.

When I went to bed at night after that day at the fair, when it came time for what Mother called our “silent prayers”, I remember the two little people, and I prayed that someone would rescue them from the man with the horn, and the hot tent, and the eyes of strangers.

CRUISING Community – On Sunday, Sept.

8, the annual Mike Bowes Memorial Cruise-In at the Perth Civitan drew a large crowd despite the cold wind. People from all around the Ottawa Valley brought their cars and enjoyed coffee, barbecue and the craft show. Above Michael Giroux stands with his 1962 AustinHealey, which has only been on the road for one year after he spent over 14 years renovating it. To the right, Bert Brennan shines his ’51 Pontiac, which he restored himself, after the drive to the show.

What to ask when choosing a realtor? Considering taking in renters? Read this first Lifestyle – When it comes to choosing a professional real estate team – from a realtor to a lawyer and home inspector, what do you need to know before selecting who you are going to work with?

While there are a number of variables – if you’ve worked with the individual before, if they come referred by someone you trust and how much time you have to spend interviewing – there are some questions that you should ask before making any decisions, says Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association.

“For starters, there are over 55,000 realtors in Ontario so narrowing down your search can be a challenge! Look for someone whose knowledge and expertise best suit your needs by doing your research first and asking lots of questions,” says Dorner.

Here are some specific

questions to ask realtors, lawyers and home inspectors, courtesy of the Ontario Real Estate Association: What to ask a realtor: • Registered in Ontario and a member of a real estate board?

• Credentials, background and references?

• Years of experience and area of focus?

• Recent sales and listings in the neighbourhood?

• Track record for getting list price?

• Knowledgeable about the market and financing options?

• Opinions on marketability of the home?

• Types of services on offer to assist with the buy/sell process?

What to ask a lawyer: • Real estate experience?

Number of real estate transactions handled?

• Availability outside working hours?

this week in

• Fee structure and services provide for fee?

• Estimate of all associated legal costs?

• How/when will you be alerted, should costs appear likely to exceed estimates?

• References?

What to ask a home inspector: • What does the home inspection cover? Not cover?

• If further inspection is required, what then?

• Experience and qualifications?

• Cost of the inspection?

“The right real estate team will help guide you through the nuts and bolts of the transaction and really simplify the process – but be sure to ask all your questions up front and choose your team carefully,” says Dorner.

Submitted by the Ontario Real Estate Association.

EMC Lifestyle – For homeowners, renting out a room in your home, a basement apartment or purchasing an investment property can be an appealing way to help with the mortgage, utilize extra space or make a real estate investment.

According to Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association, beyond the additional income, a rental property can be a valuable asset to your investment portfolio, as well as useful for family needs (including housing an aging relative or perhaps as a home for collegeaged children close to campus).

“While there are clear benefits, before you consider becoming a landlord, make sure that you have a good grasp of what getting into the rental property business really entails,” says Dorner.

Here are a few tips for pro-

spective landlords to get started: • Read the Residential Tenancies Act: Know your rights and responsibilities as a landlord.

Understanding the act will help protect you as a landlord and also provide clarity on the roles of landlord and tenant.

• Screen tenants: Choose your tenants carefully. Make sure that you have prospective tenants fill out an application, check their references and finally, carry out a credit check through a credit bureau.

• Talk to your insurance company: Make sure to notify your home insurance company to avoid liability.

• Ensure your rental suite is legal: Make sure your suite complies with municipal bylaws. If the suite is not up to standards, you will not be able to get insurance.

• Learn from other landlords:

Do your research and talk to successful landlords who know the lay of the land. Tapping into the expertise of successful and experienced landlords is invaluable for first timers.

Understand the responsibility and time commitment necessary in being a landlord and, if you are considering renting out a room in your home, make sure that you are comfortable making concessions in terms of your personal space and privacy.

“It is also important to keep in mind that whether your rental suite is in your home or another property, the onus is on you to be available for dealing with anything that goes wrong – from a flooded basement to a broken toilet, you will need to be on call to deal with these situations if and when they should arise,” says Dorner.

“Your Perfect Partner”

R TE OT AKE L

Lifestyle – With another school year quickly approaching, it’s a great opportunity for students living away from home for the first time to develop good energy saving habits to reduce electricity bills and save money.

To help students become more energy efficient throughout the school year, Hydro One has a handy list of tips: 1) Find out whether your electricity usage will be included in your rent or whether you will be billed separately.

2) If you will be billed separately, check whether Time-of-Use (TOU) pricing applies to you. This pricing plan will help you determine when the cost of electricity is lower throughout the day to better manage your electricity use habits. If you prefer studying late at night, you’re in luck as the lowest charging rate of electricity is at this time. To track your TOU electricity use, sign up for My Account today.

3) Turn off lights when they are not needed, especially if you know you are going to be out for the day.

4) Turn off your computer at night and use built in energy savings standby and hibernate functions when you are not using it throughout the day.

5) Be sure to turn off your television when not in use. LCD and LED models are the most energy efficient so be aware of older, hand-me-down television sets that could be draining your energy usage.

6) Air conditioning can use up a lot of electricity. In order to save money, open windows and consider using a fan, especially during peak hours.

7) Unplug your electronic devices when they are not in use to avoid what is known as phantom power. Phantom power is described as energy consumption that is still being drawn from household gadgets, electronic devices and appliances while they are switched off but plugged in. Plugging your appliances into a power bar can reduce unnecessary power use.

8) During the winter months, keep doors and windows closed, dress warmly, hang thick-lined curtains to keep the heat in and install weather stripping around the doors. This will allow you to minimize the use of electric heaters which use up a lot of energy.

9) Find out how your hot water is heated. If your unit uses a hot water heater, the amount of hot water you use will impact your electricity bill. Although you may enjoy taking long hot showers at home, you will find these showers quickly add up when paying your bill.

Also ensure that you have your landlord fix any leaking taps to avoid sending extra money down the drain.

10) If you have a washing machine in your unit, try washing your clothing in cold water and during off-peak hours.

Clothes dryers also consume a lot of energy so try and air-dry your clothing over a balcony or in the washroom if possible.

Drying clothing during off-peak hours can also help you save money.

11) If possible, install compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) or LED lights which use significantly less energy than incandescent bulbs. Also consider using lamps to light your work area instead of lighting the whole room.

12) If you’re heading home for the holidays be sure to turn off your lights and unplug electronics before you leave.

Arts – Fifteen young, local actors, aged between 12 and 17 have been rehearsing this summer to present the Shakespearean tragedy, Othello.

It’s a story of love destroyed by manipulation, betrayal and jealous rage. Come and join the young actors of the Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre in the round at the Carleton Place Town Hall as they present the first show in the Mississippi Mudds 2013-2014 season theatre line-up.

You know the story of Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol, and very likely you’ve seen it more than once, indeed perhaps have seen two or more versions of it. Even so, it’s an odds-on bet that you’ve never seen a version like this! Alistair Clinton has taken Dickens’ classic and played mischievously with the characters and dialog to turn it into a comedy

Kept simple, roundabouts can be very useful tool most cases.

Those weren’t my first thoughts on encountering a roundabout in England however. Instead it was a worried “which way do we go here?” Because in Britain the largest roundabouts provide multiple options and it can be extremely confusing, especially the first time around. And around and around!

I will readily admit it was roundabouts that cured me of the temptation to drive in the United Kingdom. My best advice?

Use public transit and leave Britain’s roundabouts to the British! Driving on the left hand side of the road is confusing enough. Throw in some huge traffic circles and you have to pry my fingers off the steering wheel at the end of the journey.

Still, I will readily admit these complex installations usually work very efficiently. The first circular junction in England opened in 1909 at Letchworth Garden City in the county of Hertfordshire, just north of London. The Letchworth roundabout was intended for the “modern automobile” but also to provide a central island for pedestrians.

In Great Britain the modern roundabout really hit its stride in the 1960s and since has evolved into the “beast” I referred to earlier. Sorry, too busy and confusing for me in many cases!

Common in Europe However, roundabouts need not be so intimidating. They are in widespread use in Europe. During a visit to Germany and France in 2011 (our friends were driving thankfully) we traveled through countless circular intersections. In most cases drivers had three choices. Go around to

the right (yes, they drive on the right hand side of the road in Continental Europe) and remain on the same road. Exit to the right and take an intersecting artery or circle the island and proceed along a route on the left hand side of the circle.

Reasonably straight forward. In fact I’m sure I could manage those kinds of roundabouts!

In 2010, the year before our visit to the Black Forest and the Alsace, France could claim more than 30,000 roundabouts. I’ll take the ones in the Alsace over those in Paris however. A Parisian roundabout is a synonym for “hell” based on what we witnessed in the French capital back in 1995. When in Paris stick to public transport, that’s my opinion!

Despite my misgivings with respect to certain roundabouts I have seen the light in more recent times. I quite like the ones which are popping up in communities across our region, most notably in Ottawa where many more are slated for development.

The reason I have warmed to roundabouts is mainly related to traffic flow.

Certainly there is a calming effect involved because drivers are forced to slow down in order to navigate a traffic circle.

Very different than in Canada and the United States where motorists are con-

stantly trying to beat traffic lights. Redlight running is a dangerous epidemic.

The real advantage though is in keeping traffic moving. Red lights and stop signs force cars and trucks to come to a halt. On busy roadways the resulting back-up of slow moving vehicles (tailbacks as they are called in the UK) can be very time consuming and therefore extremely frustrating for drivers, especially during morning and evening rush hour.

Traffic circles evolved early in the 20th century in the US but didn’t particularly catch on until the 1990s when roundabouts came into limited use in parts of the country. Circular intersections met with opposition from Americans who, like me when we first traveled in Britain, knew nothing about them. In fact Americans’ inability to exit roundabouts has been mocked on film. Do you remember Chevy Chase in that hilarious scene from ‘European Vacation’? He became trapped in a London roundabout.

Priceless!

As we move farther into the 21st century, traffic planners in Canada have discovered the usefulness of traffic circles.

I can recall when the only one of significance in Ottawa was at the intersection of Queen Elizabeth Driveway and Prince of Wales Drive, near the Arboretum at the Central Experimental Farm.

Now there are a number of them in the nation’s capital, although the only ones I have encountered are in quiet, suburban parts of the city. As I mentioned, many more are on the drawing boards.

Kemptville, in our readership area, has at least three that I am aware of. Almonte

has a rather impressive roundabout on its eastern boundary.

Last Wednesday I drove our daughter to Ottawa airport to catch a flight to her new home in Regina. I thought we had lots of time. But to avoid all of the construction I was already aware of in Ottawa’s west end I took a more southerly route, hoping to skirt around the trouble spots.

I wasn’t the only one! When I reached the intersection of Fallowfield Road and Old Richmond Road the line-up of traffic ahead of us was depressing. We literally crawled from that point until we cleared the busy Barrhaven community. For a time I feared Heather might miss her required check-in time.

The reason for the long, slowing moving string of vehicles? Traffic lights!

There are three or four in quick succession which caused a back-up on the twolane road that stretched for at least two kilometres.

As we inched forward in frustration I broke the silence. “Roundabouts! That would make a big difference here,” I told Heather. “There wouldn’t be a tie-up like this if there were roundabouts at the intersections instead of traffic signals.”

I realize roundabouts have their limitations which I’m sure some of you will point out. I would like to see it kept simple here. Roundabouts with half a dozen exits are no fun at all! On average however I think their time has come in Canada and particularly in our largest urban centres.

Lifestyle – I can well remember the first time I encountered a roundabout.

When you are driving in England and you come to a roundabout it is not something you soon forget!

The highways and byways of Great Britain are notoriously crowded. Try heading to an English seaside resort on August Bank Holiday and you will see what I mean.

Roundabouts are another matter entirely. These European highway fixtures have very quickly come into vogue in Canada and eastern Ontario in particular in recent times. But in case you have yet to experience one – which is entirely possible – roundabout is just another word to describe a traffic circle.

To further explain, these transportation marvels are circular junctions where traffic is slowed but never really stops.

Instead vehicles flow in one direction around a centre island and the driver has a choice of several exits which merge with intersecting roads.

When approaching a modern roundabout motorists must always yield to vehicles which are already in the roundabout. Once the lane you plan to enter is clear you can proceed around the circle and either continue on your present route or exit directly onto an intersecting roadway. There are lots of descriptions and diagrams on-line if my explanation fails to suffice!

There’s no question roundabouts are safer than traffic signals because they eliminate red light running and the possibility of so called “T-bone” crashes which can be so deadly. They also keep traffic flowing at a much better rate in

Cheryl Brown retires after 29 great years

By JENNIFER WESTENDORP jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Events – There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that Cheryl Brown is an extraordinary lady.

The impressive turnout for her retirement party, which was Hawaiian themed, speaks for her appreciation within the community.

“It was always a lot of fun working for Cheryl,” said Ed Chajkowski, who was a member of the Kemptville and District Home Support Incorporated board of directors for 17 years.

“She works very hard and is very organized.”

Chajkowski said that Cheryl is a meticulous person, who never left loose ends.

He also said she has maintained an excellent working relationship with the board of directors since he has known her.

“She always had the best interest of KDHSI in mind,” said Chajkowski. “It always came above anything else. She provided care to those who needed it.”

Chajkowski, who retired from the board recently, wished Cheryl the very best upon her own retirement, noting that the organization had come a long way since the beginning.

Mamie Johnston first met Cheryl when they were both taking the same cake decorating class back in the 1980’s.

The 30-year friendship has also served as a partnership.

Johnston has been volunteering at the KDHSI for 27 years.

“She’s very educated at what she does,” said Johnston. “She’s very dedicated to her work and good at listening to people. She’s a very cheerful and fun person to

work with.”

Jim Heppell, who serves as the treasurer for the KDHSI, has known Cheryl since joining the organization in 2002.

He started out delivering Meals on Wheels.

“I think she’s done a great job,” said Heppell. “She always stays positive and always has her clients in mind.”

Heppell said there were many times when rather than going home for dinner, Cheryl would get her husband Roy to drive her to an elderly person’s house.

“I think she was definitely due her retirement,” said Heppell.

“She deserves it.”

Susan Smith, the new Executive Director of KDHSI, has known Cheryl for two decades.

They were introduced at a meeting for tri-county home support, when Smith was working out of Gananoque.

“We’ve been colleagues for many years,” said Smith.

Smith said she keeps hearing from people that she has ‘huge shoes to fill.’

“Cheryl has built such a great team,” said Smith. “I feel very fortunate going forward. I want to make her proud.”

Smith said the wonderful thing about Cheryl is how community minded she is.

“She truly believes in the services the KDHSI provides,” said Smith.

Smith said she looks forward to maintaining Cheryl’s vision for the organization in the future.

Pat Dandele has known Cheryl for 30 years.

They first met while Dandele was delivering Meals on Wheels in Toronto.

“Cheryl is awesome,” said

Dandele. “She encompasses all the wonderful characteristics of people who get involved in community support.”

Dandele said Cheryl is a very warm and loving human being, sure to be missed by all at the KDHSI. “She exudes warmth,” said Dandele, “which is so important for volunteers and clients.”

Dandele said the best thing about Cheryl is her willingness to share her knowledge with others.

“I just think she had given her heart and soul to this agency over the years,” said Dandele.

North Grenville Mayor David Gordon said it was an honour to be at the retirement party for Cheryl.

“Her compassion for seniors in the community is amazing,” said Gordon. “She built the centre from the ground up.”

Gordon said there comes a time in everyone’s life when it’s time to enjoy retirement.

“I want to congratulate Cheryl,” said Gordon. “May her ship have smooth sailing.”

Cheryl began working at the KDHSI in 1984.

She is responsible for everything the centre has accomplished, including significant growth and contributions to the senior population of North Grenville, spanning three decades.

“There comes a time in your life when we realize we have many more yesterdays than we do tomorrows,” said Cheryl.

From all the residents of North Grenville who have been touched by Cheryl’s goodPhoto by JENNIFER WESTENDORP ness, may all her tomorrows be Cheryl Brown, after 29 years of contributing to the community, steps out of a limousine filled with happiness and joy. – the very first one she’s ever ridden in – at her retirement party, which was held at the All the best and happy retirement North Grenville Municipal Centre on Sunday, Sept. 8.

Cheryl!

Weissflog said it is important for people to attend the session because the pipeline represents a significant risk to the residents of North Grenville and any other community along the pipeline.

“As a municipality, although we have one of the smallest pieces of the pipeline running through our community, we have the most sensitive piece with the most destructive consequences,” said Weissflog.

He put the sheer volume of bitumen that would flow through North Grenville on a daily basis into context by explaining that 1.1 million barrels would extend 14 storeys above the ground, across one acre of land. This is equivalent to 174,900,000 litres. If the pipeline were to rupture, due to the corrosive nature of bitumen, in any place spanning the Rideau River, it would cover the river with 1 ½ inches of bitumen from North Grenville to the Parliament Buildings in a single day.

“Except bitumen sinks,” said Weissflog.

If the amount of bitumen proposed to travel

through the municipality were wheat, it would fulfill the daily wheat intake of 16.5 per cent of the world’s population.

“Why don’t we have a pipeline carrying wheat instead?” joked Weissflog.

The purpose of the information session, which Weissflog encourages all residents to attend, is to explain the potential risks posed by a pipeline running under the Rideau River.

“There is a lot of risk,” said Weissflog. “There is a mad rush to export resources. None of us see the benefit here.”

Weissflog made a reference to Canada’s economy being centred on the concept of ‘hewers of wood, drawers of water.’ This is a very old theory that originates from a man named Harold Innis, who believed that Canada’s cultural, political, and economic history and status can be traced to the extraction and exploitation of resources, including timber, lumber and water, but also beaver fur, cod fish, wheat, and metals.

“At the end of the day, what do we have left?” said Weissflog.

Kemptville Terry Fox Run returns this Sunday, Sept. 15 News - Hundreds of thousands of people across Ontario are expected to participate in The Annual Terry Fox Run this Sunday, Sept. 15, a fundraising event now considered an autumn Canadian tradition.

Kemptville is no exception.

The Terry Fox tradition continues with runners, walkers, skateboarders and dog walkers meeting in front of the old fire hall on Reuben Street in Kemptville on Sunday morning.

Last year’s Terry Fox Run in Kemptville brought in $11,000 in pledges and this year organizers are hoping for the same or more this time around.

You can make a pledge online at terryfox.org or call 1-888-836-9786 or stop by the old fire hall on Sunday before or after the run and make a pledge.

There will be someone driving along the two routes to help people out and maps are available at the starting gate. There will be a warm-up for those who are interested right before the run begins at 10 a.m.

Traditionally, many participants begin their run

earlier at 9 a.m. depending on the weather and their plans for that day. Organizers have planned two runs, one five kilometers and another ten kilometers.

Last year, millions of Ontarians participated in 225 community Terry Fox Runs and 3,900 school events, raising close to $12 million for cancer research.

In 1980, when Terry Fox decided to run across Canada on a prosthetic leg to raise funds for cancer research, he knew he faced an immense challenge. After running almost a marathon a day for 143 days, Terry was forced to stop when cancer recurred in his lungs. His Marathon of Hope came to an end but the spark he had lit in the hearts and minds of Canadians ignited into a cancer crusade that has lasted more than three decades. There is no doubt that Terry’s example of courage and perseverance lives on today in Terry Foxers of all ages.

In 2010, Aimee ZeglinkskySpinney of Ottawa, Ontario, was diagnosed at age 11 with osteosarcoma after her leg shattered on the soccer field. “My world collapsed in an instant but thanks to Terry the course of

cancer is changing, giving me the chance to rebuild. He ran to raise money for research, hoping that it would provide new treatments to reduce the painful effects of cancer and lead to a cure.”

Today, Aimee is a thriving 14-year-old who graces the Terry Fox “Thank You for My Life” poster that will be displayed this month in more than 8,500 schools across Canada. She expresses gratitude for the health she now enjoys. “In Terry's day I would have lost my leg and probably my life. Today, thanks to his vision, I have hope. I have my leg. I have my life. Terry's dream is now my dream: a cure for all cancers.”

Two things kept Terry going during the long, difficult days in 1980: the dollars donated for research and the supporters who encouraged him along the way. This Sunday, Sept. 15, hundreds of thousands of Terry Fox supporters, like Aimee and her family and friends, will participate in their favourite Canadian fall tradition to ensure that cancer research continues to forge ahead. From coast to coast, we will be working together to outrun cancer.

Members of Grassroot Grannies take a breather at the Merrickville United Church, where they were served a lovely lunch, on Sept. 5.

Grassroot Grannies roll in to Merrickville Sept. 5

By JENNIFER WESTENDORP jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

News – From grandmother to grandmother, despite an ocean in between.

The Grassroot Grannies, one of more than 250 different granny groups across Canada, believe in supporting other grandmothers in need.

“We feel so fortunate to live in Canada,” said Nancy Hough, a group member.

The organization supports the Grandmother to Grandmother campaign, which was started by the Stephen Lewis Foundation.

The campaign helps African grandmothers who have buried their own children because of HIV/AIDS and then struggle to raise orphaned grandchildren alone.

Hough said she sympathizes with the grandmothers the group supports because she knows how much energy it takes to care for a young child.

She said taking her grandchildren for a few days is nice, but then she gets to send them home to their parents. The grandmothers in need don’t have that option.

The Grassroot Grannies believe in maintaining solidarity amongst grandmothers.

“As we get older, we have more time to give back,” said Hough.

The reason the group supports the foundation is because 90 per cent of the funds raised go to the projects, meaning there is very little overhead. Since 2003, the foundation has supported over

300 projects in 15 countries.

One of the members, Lina Woods, went to Africa last year to volunteer in the Hillcrest Aids Centre.

“I was able to see that the money we send benefits the people,” said Woods.

Woods said there were sewing machines at the centre, purchased with money from the foundation, being used to make school uniforms for children.

She said the grandmothers were also being taught to knit, cook, garden and do bead work.

“Their philosophy is to create income generating projects, not just to give money,” said Woods.

Woods said there is so much stigma surrounding AIDS. “I had all kinds of nice experiences while there,” said Woods.

Woods said it is rewarding to see the African grandmothers, as they become stronger themselves, begin to help other people in their own communities.

“Unfortunately, some of the grandmothers are dying and kids are becoming the head of the household,” said Woods. “We have it so good here.”

The group raised about $43,000 for the foundation by doing a three-day bike tour fundraiser, called the Ride to Turn the Tide, which stopped in Merrickville on Sept. 5.

People have been donating to the cause since July by going to www.grassrootgrannies.com.

“The vision for this ride came from a granny group out West that does a similar ride,” said Hough. “My husband and I met two women from that group

while vacationing in Cuba.

That’s where I got the idea to start a ride of our own.”

The event consisted of 22 cyclists, all members of the group, although not all grandmothers.

Each participant paid for their own accommodations and food during the trip, so all fundraising proceeds went to the foundation.

This is the fourth year the group stopped at the Merrickville United Church, where all the members were served lunch, during the ride.

The tour began in Kanata on Sept. 4 and passed through Ashton, Appleton and Almonte. The group spent the night in Perth, after cycling 95 kilometers. In the morning, the group left for Merrickville and continued on to Metcalfe, completing the longest leg of the trip, totalling 115 kilometers.

On Sept. 6, the participants travelled from Metcalfe, back to Kanata, finishing off the remaining 55 kilometers of the tour.

The ride had four corporate sponsors; realtor Joan Smith, funeral home owner Brian McGarry, financial advisor Renaldo Saikali and owner of Bushtukah in Kanata Bob Laughton.

A volunteer of the Merrickville United Church, Lee Davidson, said they are always happy to see the Grassroot Grannies rolling through town for a good cause.

“It’s wonderful to see them come in,” said Davidson. “We get to know each of them a little better each year.”

Events – The Merrickville Show and Sale is in its 21st year. For the past few years organizers of the popular event have included the Merrickville Artisan Show in their plans and the result has made both events better than ever.

This year’s combined show was held on Aug. 24 and 25 and included everything from antique furniture, exciting crafts to a bit of history.

Three avid knitters from Ottawa attended the show and shared their love of history with visitors.

Devon Bartley, Kim Moffat and Allison Johns have taken their interest n knitting to the next level.

As much as they all enjoy knitting socks they also enjoy the history of the sock.

That has led them to find several antique circular sock knitting machines.

These particular machines date back to the 1870’s when the idea of being able to mass produce socks was starting to take hold.

The history of the humble sock dates back to 1000 CE in Egypt. People have been

knitting for a long time.

As the idea and knowledge if how to knit spread, mostly along the ancient trade routes that joined Europe to the middle east, so did the technique.

Eventually mechanization caught up to the sock and history was able to add another chapter to the neverending story of the sock.

During the First World War, soldiers suffered horribly from the cold and wet of the muddy European battle fields.

The circular sock knitting machine made all the difference allowing, mostly women back home in Canada and the United States to produce large numbers of socks quickly and ship them overseas to grateful soldiers.

“The Red Cross in Canada and the United States would give a machine to anyone who would committee to making so many socks,” explained Devon Bartley.

“The machine would have made a big difference to the women who had them,” she explained.

OPINION

Connected to your community

The power of suggestion

E

ditorial - The words ‘I’m Sorry’ on the side of the railway bridge heading into Merrickville, although meaningless to nearly all those who look upon it, have likely prompted infinite questions that will never be answered.

Thousands of people pass under this bridge on a daily basis and are exposed to this powerfully meaningless message.

Who wrote ‘I’m sorry?’ But more importantly, why?

The human imagination is a beautiful thing. It causes creation and destruction and everything in between.

The message, although meaningless to all but those involved in its conception, has accomplished what artists worldwide seek to do on a daily basis – inspire.

Everyone who sees the message, aside from the few individuals who lack imagination entirely, have speculated on its origins.

Could it be from a lover, who made a terrible mistake they regretted immediately but could not erase?

Could it be from a criminal, who committed a horrible crime that has harmed someone in unthinkable ways?

Could it be from a teenager, who did something against their parent’s wishes, resulting in a family rift?

Could it be from a mother or father, apologizing to his or her children for being overbearing and ruining a particu-

L

larly important opportunity?

The message could mean anything, to anyone, which is why it perfectly illustrates the power of suggestion. The ability to evoke thought is a power that makes all other forms of power seem insignificant by comparison.

This message has provoked thought on a mass scale. Thousands of people have looked upon it and wondered, and by wondering, created imaginary scenarios that may or may not be close to the truth. Who wrote the message and why is in fact irrelevant. No one actually cares what the apology is for. Aside from causing curiosity, the message itself is simply a metaphor.

Human beings, as a species, are prone to error. It is in every single person’s genetic code to falter. It is the component that makes humans, simultaneously, beautiful and ugly.

Every one has a reason to apologize to someone. That apology could be extended to the person you wronged at work or in school or at home. People say awful things when they’re mad and commit cruel acts when in a bad frame of mind. If you have nothing to apologize for, then you’re not human.

The apology is for everyone, not just local residents or the true recipient of the heartfelt public plea, but all those who have wronged or been wronged.

Maybe there should be more bridges with the words “I’m Sorry” spraypainted on the side.

Hockey up close and personal, for the first time

ifestyle - We gained another temporary son last week.

Martin, who hails from a seaside community on the northern coast of Spain, is living with us for the month of September.

Upon arrival, Martin, a slim handsome boy with brown hair, brown eyes and braces on his teeth put his hands lightly on my shoulders and kissed one of my cheeks, then the next. “Nice to meet you,” he said, in the sweetest Spanish accent.

It soon became apparent that Martin’s English was quite advanced. He was here not to study but to experience. Unlike our Chinese boy John who is from the big city, Martin is from a village of “5,000 people in summer, and only a few people in winter.” His father is a pediatrician and his mother an OB-GYN. He has no idea what he wants to do when he grows up. I told him he has time. He is 14 years old, in Grade 9.

The first week was a bit exhausting as school began the day after Martin arrived. Although his English is quite good, when thrown into an English world it is still stressful and tiring to communicate and understand at times.

The Accidental Farmwife DIANA FISHER

While our Chinese son John is thoroughly plugged in with his new Canadian SIM card in his beloved iPhone, so that he can talk on We-Chat (a Chinese version of Skype) at any hour of the day, Martin only uses his phone to play a couple of video games or listen to music. And he doesn’t go near the computer. He spends his time at home in Spain playing basketball, football (soccer) and riding his bicycle.

We spent his first evening here looking at his family photos of trips they have taken all over Europe. But it was the photos of his seaside village near Bilboa that most intrigued me. I have my eye on one of those beach houses and would love to visit one day.

On the evening of the first day of school, we packed Martin and his good

friend Michal and John with his best friend Jerry in the back of the Explorer and headed off to the Ottawa 67’s game.

They had never seen a live game of hockey before. Not exactly a frequent spectator myself, I had to call my sister for advice on wardrobe. She confirmed that although it was quite warm outside, we would need long pants and sweaters and maybe a blanket too. I grabbed one small lap blanket for each boy and although they looked at me strangely, they certainly appreciated it when they first walked into the rink and drew a breath of icy air.

“It doesn’t get this cold in Spain,” one of the boys said. I told him I thought it probably did, as they had a light dusting of snow in winter; about the same amount as Vancouver, and Qingdao, for that matter.

From the first few bars of the national anthem to the last slash at the puck in the first period, the boys barely took their eyes off the ice. It was kind of surreal hearing the same sort of exclamation in English, Spanish and Chinese every time someone slammed into the boards.

On the intermission, I turned around to notice John and Jerry had disappeared.

Then I heard a bit of a ruckus in the hall going down to the changerooms. They had been stopped by a security guard at the door.

I retrieved them and told them to tell me before they go wandering again but when paired with someone who speaks their language I sort of disappear into the mist.

I recognized Coach Brian “Killer” Kilrea and told him I remember going to the 67’s games with my father. Dad’s favourite players were the scrappers, of course, and I reminded the retired coach of Lance Galbraith, one of the best. He also remembered the Farmer’s cousin

After the game Coach Kilrea made a point of coming right over to our group to ask the boys how they liked their first hockey game. I thought that was pretty nice. It will definitely be an experience they take home with them and remember for years to come.

Glass flowers add touch of whimsy to Discovery Tour

BY EMMA JACKSON emma.jackson@metroland.com

Arts –Bill and Marg Young’s sprawling property is bursting with colourful flowers of all kinds – and now they’ve added some of the glass variety.

The semi-retired couple are avid gardeners, and last fall Marg began to experiment with old plates, bowls and other vintage dishes to create large, glass flowers and add an element of whimsy to their gardens.

The pair began to scour second-hand stores like the Real Deal in Smiths Falls and the House of Lazarus in South Mountain for unique pieces that could be turned into the cheerfully oversized flowers Marg envisioned.

With a vast stockpile of colourful china, serving dishes, bowls, votives and tea cups in their dining room, Bill now uses a carbide or diamond drill to bore holes through the glass pieces, which Marg then arranges into her colourful creations.

A spoon is bolted behind the collection to allow for secure hanging inside hollow metal poles outside.

“They’re whimsical and fun,” Marg said. “It’s a great way to recycle.”

She will join several other artists at stop number seven on the 17th annual Discovery Tour through the North Gower and Kars area on Sept. 14 and 15.Every year, the tour brings together more than

30 local artists at 13 stops across North Gower, Manotick and Kars.

The two-day event attracts hundreds of people from the Ottawa region looking for quality art and a scenic drive in the country.

This is the Young family’s first time in the adjudicated tour. “I was lucky to be accepted,” Marg said. “It’s great to let people know about the artists in this area, that you don’t have to go to the big city to find unique art.”

Marg said her inspiration came from a craft her sister-in-law found in Florida.

When she realized how many glass dishes and china were being discarded, stored away in boxes or sent to thrift shops in this region, she decided to make something of it.

“The generation coming up just doesn’t want to store things, so you find some beautiful pieces on your travels,” she said. “Everything is recycled, so we take what’s old and make it young again.”

Old jewellery, stones and other knick-knacks serve as colourful accents – especially when coloured glass is hard to come by.

“It’s all about reinventing the wheel,” she said.

“It’s whimsical stuff.”

The Youngs will be in good company on the Photo by EMMA JACKSON tour; painters, sculptors, potters and jewelry makBill and Marg Young use their large property near Beckett’s Landing to create whimsical ers are all participating. garden flowers out of recycled and vintage glass.

Swinginâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fiddles Scott Woods Band brings up tempo show in support of Lions Club to North Grenville Municipal Centre Sept. 19 His mother came along in 1956 and became the piano player for the band. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how they met,â&#x20AC;? said Woods.

His parents got married and had four kids. They passed down the musical tradition to all their kids. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometime in the mid 1980s, my dad wanted me to take over the band,â&#x20AC;? said Woods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He continued as the sound man until he passed away in 2003. My mom continued to travel with the band until this past June, when she decided to retire. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think she ever missed a show up until that point. She still comes out to our local shows. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll even sit in and play a few tunes with us.â&#x20AC;?

Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Scott Woods Band is coming to town, much to the delight of fiddle lovers throughout the community.

The band is playing to the North Grenville Municipal Centre on September 19 at 7 p.m. in support of the Kemptville Lions Club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in Kemptville two or three times in the last seven of eight years,â&#x20AC;? said Scott Woods, fiddle player.

Woods looks forward to the opportunity of returning to Kemptville, especially because the show benefits a community minded organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love it,â&#x20AC;? said Woods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any time we get to go anywhere in the Ottawa Valley. They love fiddle music. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a fun time.â&#x20AC;?

Woods said the region is a great place to perform because people recognize the tunes being played, which make the experience of putting on a show a lot more fun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They let us know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re enjoying it,â&#x20AC;? said Woods, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it always helps.â&#x20AC;?

The show, called Swinginâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fiddles, will be approximately two hours long, and feature some excellent tunes, sure to convert even non-fiddle lovers to the old swing music ways.

Every year, the band designs a unique show, which they go on tour to perform.

This year, the band is slotted to play at a total of 150 venues across Canada and the United States.

Woods said the show has received very good responses from over 60 venues so far this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken old swing music from the 1920â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and rewritten the musical arrangement so we play these tunes with three fiddles in a three part harmony,â&#x20AC;? said Woods.

Woods said the sound is very unique and the tunes are grooving, with a real toe tapping, melodic harmony. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a great back-up band behind the fiddles as well to keep the groove happening,â&#x20AC;? said Woods.

Along with the fiddlers, Woods said the band has a great guitar player and piano player, both of whom are well known across Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both very accomplished musicians,â&#x20AC;? said Woods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a really unique sound. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really fun show.â&#x20AC;?

The show features some swing tunes, waltz tunes and fiddle tunes.

One of the fiddlers in the band is even a champion step dancer, so when a good breakdown occurs, she puts down her fiddle and goes out to do a little tap down.

Each musician in the band is featured individually during some point in the show and performs solo.

The show even had some comedic aspects, with Woods telling a few corny jokes about getting older. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of a silly, we like to have a lot of fun,â&#x20AC;? said Woods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We enjoy interacting with the audience.â&#x20AC;?

Woods said the show is fast paced and ends with some trick fiddling, such as behind the back and between the legs.

Woods even does a front running flip, which he warns the audience about, so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it all goes well I end up on my feet without missing a beat,â&#x20AC;? said Woods.

Woods said the band tries to give ev-

The Scott Woods band is definitely a family affair. Woods brother, sister and two of his nieces have all travelled with him.

The Swinginâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fiddles show will certainly be a happening event.

The tiniest culprits can be the most dangerous Lifestyle - I recall on two separate occasions receiving rather disturbing responses from students during conversations about potential contamination of food by E. coli.

In one case, the student said, “I don’t need to worry, I’m a vegan.”

In the second instance, the reply was, “We only eat organic foods, so it’s not a problem.”

My jaw must have dropped a foot (or 30.48 centimetres to be metrically correct).

After recovering my composure, we discussed the problems inherent in this type of approach and tried to put things into perspective.

Just for the record, I think organic foods are great.

Also, our family enjoys various cuts of meat – all properly cooked or processed, of course.

Like most people, we are concerned about food safety, and take precautions to avoid problems which might arise.

The Public Health Agency of Canada has some excellent advice about E. coli on their website (www.publichealth.gc.ca), as does the Organic Trade Association (www.ota.com).

It has been estimated that about eleven million people in Canada suffer from some food-related illness every year.

This is one-third of our total population!

Escherichia coli (i.e., E. coli) is a type of bacterium that is found in the intestinal tract of animals and humans.

There are many strains of E. coli in the world around us.

Although most of them are not a problem, the one which we must take precautions against is E. coli O157:H7.

It’s the culprit responsible for making people sick.

According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, infections from this particular strain can be attributed to consuming improperly cooked meat, or consuming raw fruits and vegetables that have become contaminated by the E. coli somewhere in the food chain from the producer to the consumer.

No matter how careful the producers are in following proper procedures in regard to composting the manure which is put on the fields, etc., there is always a risk that fruits and vegetables can become contaminated.

Birds and animals can contaminate crops with their droppings, and there are numerous other potential opportunities for contamination, including unsanitary handling and processing practices right Above, the E. coli bacteria. up until the time the food is consumed.

Fortunately, most of these illnesses are minor in It is always best to protect yourself against the nature. potential risks of eating contaminated foods.

The really sad thing is that many of these cases There is really no way to tell if E. coli or any could probably be avoided. other contaminating microorganisms are present

simply by looking at the food or smelling it.

First and foremost, raw or unprocessed meats must be fully cooked to a safe internal temperature.

The actual temperatures for various types of meat are presented in a table on the Public Health Service of Canada website under the heading of “Prevention”.

Storage is also an important consideration since many microorganisms can grow if the temperature rises above 4C. For fruits and vegetables, the best advice is to wash them thoroughly before you eat them.

All utensils and work surfaces should also be thoroughly cleaned.

Above all, you need to wash your hands regularly and properly – with soap and water.

I really don’t want to sound like a broken record that keeps repeating the same message over and over again.

Nor do I want to sound like an alarmist. However, it is a bit upsetting to see stories popping up in the news about isolated cases or outbreaks of food-borne illnesses that could have been easily prevented by following a few basic steps.

Fire Prevention Officer given new authority

By JENNIFER WESTENDORP jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

News – Elizabeth Greenberg, the Fire Prevention Officer for the North Grenville Fire Service, is now able to sign off on fire safety plans.

A fire safety plan, as explained

by Greenberg, describes all of the life safety systems within a building, a floor plan showing all exits, location of extinguishers and fire detectors, emergency contact information and guidelines on how to maintain all of the life safety systems.

“Most importantly, contained in this document are the fire evacuation procedures for both the supervisors and staff,” said Greenberg.

The plan is contained in a large white box with red lettering inside most large stores and multi-residential buildings. In case of fire, emergency evacuation procedures are spelt out for the people living or working inside the building.

“This document also goes into detail with regards to how often fire drills are conducted, what precautions are taken when fire alarms are not functioning, how to notify the fire department of an emergency and the overall maintenance of the building to keep it safe,” she said.

One of Greenberg’s responsibilities is to review, advise upon and approve these fire safety plans.

“I now have the authority to sign off on fire safety plans,” said Greenberg.

Greenberg is also responsible for public education, fire safety inspections and home escape

planning programs.

“I can’t say that I prefer to do one thing over another,” said Greenberg, “but what makes this position so exciting and interesting is the movement between each activity.”

Greenberg said a typical day for her starts out with note taking and file updating, but then moves to a fire safety presentation at a school or seniors home.

“Being out in our beautiful community interacting with residents is very rewarding,” said Greenberg.

Greenberg has always been interested in public education and fire safety inspections. She said as communities grow, as North Grenville has, a move towards formal education and certifications is a must.

“Personally, my path to this office started out early in my fire service career and began with presentations to school age children and fire prevention week activities as a firefighter,” said Greenberg.

Greenberg is currently enrolled in the Fire Prevention Officer Diploma program through the Ontario Fire Marshal’s Office.

“I believe the largest component of fire prevention and public education is provided through the school system,” said Greenberg.

Greenberg explained that school age children are the most familiar and comfortable with firefighters delivering fire safety programs.

“I find engaging these children very refreshing and it seems they have an endless thirst for knowledge,” said Greenberg.

til the 12th this year. This year’s theme is ‘Prevent Kitchen Fires and Get Cooking with Fire Safety.’ Greenberg is busy organizing various events, including the home smoke alarm campaign, which will take place on Oct. 10.

Firefighters will be hitting the streets at approximately 7 p.m., to provide door-to-door smoke alarm inspections in the municipality.

“Firefighters conducting his free service are always dressed in North Grenville Fire Service uniforms, work in teams and have proper identification with them so residents can be assured of their identity,” said Greenberg.

Firefighters will also be providing residents with information on how to test smoke alarms, change batteries and replace the alarms.

Greenberg will also be conducting information sessions surrounding this year’s theme at all schools, seniors groups, service groups and the community in general.

A large open house is planned this year on October 31. The event is called ‘Fright Night’ and will be held at the fire station.

“Firefighters will be dressed as their favourite super heroes,” said Greenberg. “Some of the attractions include a haunted hay wagon ride, fire truck tours, a haunted house, lots of fire prevention goodies and it wouldn’t be Halloween without lots of candy treats.”

Greenberg continues to focus on the educational aspect of fire safety by making it fun for children. If you have any fire safety questions, contact Greenberg at (613)-258-2438 ext. 3.

SAFETY TIPS Heating and Cooking: Before using a portable heater, review the manufacturer’s recommendations for usage and follow the instructions carefully. Only use the fuel for which the appliance was designed.

GARDENER’S CORNER

You’ve gotta love You’ve gotta love this time of year.

The other morning I went out and dug up some potatoes, grabbed a ripe tomato and went to the hen house for some fresh eggs. What a breakfast!

The apple trees are just loaded this year and I’ve already made two batches of crabapple jelly. The next project is to make a jelly with our wild grapes and apples. I think I will call it Grapple Jelly.

This is why we garden. All the work in the garden makes sense now. It’s not just the fruits and veggies. Our perennials have outdone themselves with all the rain and warm days. I bought a package of seeds when I was out visiting the family in British Columbia this spring and like a dummy, didn’t keep the package or log it in the journal. I really do need to practice what I preach.

It is a small vine that has electric blue flowers with a white throat and a bright yellow centre. It’s amazing! We are going to gather the seeds and plant it all over the property next year.

Next week my sister will be arriving from the west coast. We have a road trip planned. Our neighbours, Larry and Nancy and our son Carl will be joining us for the last trip to the Lachute Flea Market for this year. Bright and early start, breakfast in Hawkesbury and off to the fleas.

If you’ve never been to the Lachute flea market, you’re missing a life event.

It is only open on Tuesdays ( go figure ). It is twenty acres, no kidding. The first thing you see when you enter the site is the farmer’s market. At this time of year it is just brimming with local produce. All the stuff we didn’t plant.

Last year we bought some cauliflower the size of a soccer ball for a dollar.

Our road trips to Lachute are always a hoot. Breakfast, bargains and bounty.

And lots of laughing. Then the stop at the nursery in Plantagenet and the cheese factory in St. Albert for the best poutine and cheese curd in the world.

This has been an eventful fall. The birth of our first grandchild and the death of Angie’s special uncle. It really focuses the mind. You get to know what is really important. The memorial service we attended today wasn’t about Bud’s career and achievements, it was about his love of family and friends.

There are so many things I have done over the years that will never be remembered. The things we do with family and friends will be. Thanks for that Bud. In the years to come it will be the things we have planted that we will be remembered for.

You gotta love.

Beth Donovan Hospice Art Therapy Bereavement Group For Children Thanks to the generous funding of Telus, Beth Donovan Hospice is offering a free art therapy group for bereaved children aged 8 to 11 years. This group will use a combination of art and technology as a therapeutic strategy to help participants express their thoughts and feelings about the death of a loved one. Weekly sessions will be held at the hospice located at 25 Hilltop Crescent in Kemptville beginning on Wednesday, October 16th from 4 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. for a total of 8 weeks.

Sessions will be led by the hospice’s Master’s level grief counsellor and a local artist volunteer. Space is limited and pre-registration is required.

For more information, please contact Suzanne Duc at (613) 258-9611 X3 or suzanne.duc@bethdonovanhospice.ca, or visit www.bethdonovanhospice.ca.

ROSBOROUGH, Margaret (Currie) – November 2, 1936 - September 16, 2012.

One year ago today we lost the most significant woman in our lives - treasured mother, mother-in-law, nanny, great nanny, sister, sister-in-law and mistress. No one knew when she went into the hospital in late August she would never return to her beloved family and home. She fought a hard battle but she just wanted to go to sleep - knowing in her heart she would be reunited with her “Johnnie”. Oh how she missed Dad. They say time heals but the pain of loss is as strong today as on the day we lost her. Mom lives on in all of us and we thank God we did have her for as long as we did.

Loving and missing you always, Debbie, Cindy, Michael, JoAnne, Monty and Families

No farewell words were spoken, No time to say ‘goodbye’, You were gone before I knew it, And only God knows why.

My heart still aches in sadness, And secret tears still flow, What it meant to love you, No one can ever know.

But now I know you want me, To mourn for you no more, To remember all the happy times, Life still has much in store.

Since you’ll never be forgotten, I pledge to you today, A hallowed place within my heart, Is where you’ll always stay.

Love your Fairy Godmother Corny

REGIONAL NEWS

Connected to your community

Stepping into the spotlight at recent MERA concert changed, its great to see live music now available at The Golden Arrow Pub & Eatery (previously the Crown & Thistle) in Perth.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve caught a couple of

father and son together but this evening brought not only father Chris on pedal steel, harmonica, guitar and trumpet but sister Jenny providing some vocals on a few and brother-in-law Joey Wright on mandolin and guitar throughout.

Close family friend, Melwood Cutlery joined in on a George Jones song â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;She Thinks I Still Careâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Like I said, it was a rare occasion.

Now Dan is a shy, quiet guy. He tends to speak through his instruments and in that light he filled the room all night. Whether on mandolin, guitar, vocals or harmonica he excelled.

Playing a Willie P. Bennett song, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Country Squallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, opened the show followed

by Charlie Sizemoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Really Goneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Joey and Dan smoked the place with a mandolin duet of one of Joeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Big Babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and then â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tennessee Blues/Liza Janeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

I took a seat in the front row just so I could get a glimpse of the fingers at work and between Dan, Joey and also Chris on pedal steel Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to say much was a blur. It was spellbinding playing. You could feel Danâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shyness at the beginning but as things moved along and the comfort of the room and family swaddled him, his most inner self was exposed through his picking and harp blowing. He was definitely in the spotlight and he shone.

Wonderful versions of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wino The Clownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by George Jones and Jenny joining on vocals of Chrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; song â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Take Your Time and Do It Rightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; kept the show in the stratosphere. Jenny also joined Dan on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Halls of Folsomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and a spine tingling a cappella duet of the gospel tune, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Willinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; To Tryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Dan shared heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d played in a jazz band with his dad for 10 years and together they played â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nearness of Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, a Hoagy Carmichael tune with Dan playing Chrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sweet sounding Joe Pass Signature hollow body guitar which added a vintage, classic sound.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure the venue mystique only added to the offering of such timeless, well played tunes.

Thanks everyone who made this evening a memorable one.

Check out MERAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website (www.meraschoolhouse.org) for some more great upcoming shows.

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It was like stepping back in time as we ran from the dryness of our car through the pouring rain and stepped, like the thousands before us over the years, into the security of MERA (McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corners/Elphin Recreation and Arts) run historic McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corners Schoolhouse, built around 1860.

Rural community buildings like this were used for all sorts of gatherings of the local populace besides the educational origins and it was for one of these noneducational but enchanting evenings of music that we scurried into the schoolhouse, welcoming its dryness and seeping history as well as the camaraderie of others organizing and attending.

You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help noticing the well-worn hardwood floors throughout, wood panel walls, chain hung lights and a large wooden spinning wheel perched in reverence atop an ancient upright piano overseeing the concert room. Historically themed quilts and weavings grace the walls as we settle to take in a rare occurrence.

We often become familiar with music groups via their front performers, rarely hearing much of the backing musicians.

Multi-instrumentalist Dan Whiteley is one of those â&#x20AC;&#x153;behind the scenesâ&#x20AC;? or usual backing sidemen who share their talents to make someone else sound just that much better. A member of one of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most notable musical clans, he is multiple Juno awardwinning Jenny Whiteleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Toronto keyboardist, Jesseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, blues veteran Chris Whiteleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son and blues/gospel balladeer Ken Whiteleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nephew.

Growing up in a musical household he got an early start recording with his sister Jenny on Raffi and their father Chris and uncle Kenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discs before Jenny and Dan formed the 1998 Juno nominated bluegrass group Heartbreak Hill whom I had the privilege of seeing at Festival of Friends in Hamilton on a couple of occasions.

Over the years, Dan has played â&#x20AC;&#x153;behind the scenesâ&#x20AC;? for Fathead, Prairie Oyster, Amy Milan, Luther Wright, Jenny Whiteley, Joey Wright (his brother-in-law) to name but a few. I point out the â&#x20AC;&#x153;behind the scenesâ&#x20AC;? usual location of Dan because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what made this evening even more special.

Dan was stepping into the spotlight to promote his new CD aptly titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Out of the Spotlightâ&#x20AC;?. Even more special was Danâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guests as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not often we get to hear

Questions?

Let’s talk.

“Easy” and “simple” decisions don’t always add up to the right financial/estate planning answers. Here are a few “because I can” decisions to consider just a bit more carefully.

I will add an adult child as the joint owner of my investments or property because it will make the distribution of my estate easier.

While there are certain situations in which joint ownership of assets can be a sound strategy, you need to look at it from many angles: • Are you willing to give up control of the asset(s)?

• If your child separates or divorces, do you want the asset(s) potentially divided between your child and an ex-spouse?

• What happens if your child goes bankrupt?

• Are you okay with disinheriting the children of your child, if your child dies shortly before you do?

• Do you intend that your joint owner should share the asset(s) with other beneficiaries (including your other children) in your will or has no obligation to share?

If the joint ownership contract between you and your child is not explicitly worded, it could lead to expensive sibling infighting that could eat up the assets.

Why go to the expense of retaining a lawyer when all I need is a Will Kit? For starters, you won’t have

Manage Your Money access to expert advice about whether your clause selections are appropriate to your situation.

A simple “kit” program won’t ask key questions about your family and estate structure, such as: • Is yours is a blended family?

If so, you could inadvertently disinherit children from a previous relationship • Is a beneficiary disabled? If so, it is usually advantageous to establish a discretionary trust in your will to protect that beneficiary’s ability to receive social assistance payments. If the beneficiary is mentally disabled, then a trust will also allow you to choose someone to manage the beneficiary’s inheritance.

• Is the charitable organization you wish to leave your estate to properly registered with the CRA as a charity? If it isn’t, you won’t get a tax credit.

Nor will a “kit” program provide tax advice or assess the different tax liabilities each beneficiary could face, leading to an inequitable distribution of your estate. In addition, when a lawyer prepares your will, the lawyer has certain obligations under the law to make a basic assessment of your capacity, which could become important evidence later on, if some family members want to challenge your

will.

I will give significant sums of money to family members during my lifetime. Whether the money is “gifted” or “loaned” to your children for whatever reason, without the proper advice and direction, there could be a minefield of problems down the road. For example, if the arrangement isn’t properly documented, it could be argued that it was, indeed, a loan or may result in one child receiving a significant gift during your lifetime that unfairly reduces another’s inheritance.

What you should or shouldn’t do in situations like these isn’t always clear. Your legal and professional advisors can bring clarity you need to every aspect of your financial life.

Don’t get fooled by food myths

By HEATHER WESTENDORP

Lifestyle – The greatest challenge in healthy living can be our own interpretation of the facts about foods we eat.

We learn about nutrition from magazines, courses, medical doctors and of course our own decisions.

It seems every month there is a new diet or fad on television that is going to cure all your health problems.

Words like antioxidants, cleansing, fat absorbing, belly busting are used to describe specific food products.

How do we work through the minefield of mass information to find the truth about food and nutrition?

The whole good fat scenario is played out based on the layers of fat just under the skin and within an animal or plant.

Fat containing foods deliver protein, minerals and the mechanism for enabling fat soluble vitamins to be absorbed into the body.

It is great advice to remove the visible fat, but we need some fat to be healthy.

Fat makes food easy to chew and generally adds taste and texture to the foods we eat.

The problem is we eat entirely more fat than we need.

Products that advertise low/no fat are altered to re-create the texture and taste.

Generally this entails adding more sugar, salt and/or stabilizers in a chemical mix.

Milk is another of the four food groups.

Read the ingredients list to ensure you are getting milk rather than a milk-like product.

You can purchase milk beverages and any processed cheese is bound to have very little real

milk.

A few milk solids added to a beverage or drink is not a real milk serving.

It is usually an oil based product mixed with sugar and chocolate flavour.

They are not made with milk as a primary building block.

Milk contributes protein, riboflavin, Vitamin B 12, calcium, magnesium, potassium and when fortified, vitamin A and vitamin D. Vegetables and fruits provide our bodies with a variety of vitamins, fibre, potassium and magnesium.

A fruit or vegetable serving is ½ cup.

Manufacturers will have us believe that fruit roll ups and V-8 are the same as an apple.

Often the loss of nutrients occurs when cooking

foods.

Vitamins are very sensitive and must be treated with respect and care. Cooking the heck out of foods is not good.

Use whole foods from the garden or buy from local providers. Eat fresh where you can.

Process the fruits and vegetables only as necessary.

Grains provide our bodies with folate, niacin, Riboflavin, thiamin, iron, magnesium, selenium and fibre.

Grains remain one of the most mutilated food items.

White bread typically refers to breads made from the wheat flour from which the bran and the germ layers have been removed (and set aside) from the whole wheat berry as part of the flour grinding or milling process, producing a light colored flour.

This milling process can give white flour a longer shelf life by removing the natural oils (and many of the vitamins and nutrients) from the whole grain.

The food myths are numerous.

Taking manufacturers words at face value can be a critical error when we are looking for health benefits and proper nutrition.

Any food that is processed and packaged for long shelf life has been changed.

This has to be taken into account when measuring your intake.

And remember - don’t believe everything you hear about, in terms of weight loss.

More than 100 family members attend family reunion in Oxford Mills Submitted by Ann Robinson

News – A Carson-Harrison Reunion invitation was accepted by more than 100 family members gathering at the home of Margaret and the late Peter Carson in Oxford Mills on Aug. 4, 2013.

A delicious pot-luck dinner was served after Elizabeth (Margaret’s

daughter) said a few words as well as grace. The dinner concluded with a table full of deserts and beautiful family cakes as well as a 25th anniversary cake for a couple celebrating their special day.

Guests came from as far as British Columbia, and others from Waterloo, Cambridge, Oakville, Cornwall, Brockville, Iroquois, Ingleside, Ottawa, Or-

leans, Russell, Metcalfe, Vernon, Kenmore and surrounding Counties.

The eldest female guest was in her 95th year, and eldest male in his 84th year. The two youngest girls were only 6 and 9 months.

There was a lot of reminiscing of old times and meeting new additions to the family tree. The family historian had a

wonderful display of photographs dating back to the early 1800’s with the full family tree of seven generations available for everyone to find their name.

Many guests also gave the historian updates to be included in the Carson and Harrison family books.

A Royal Red Maple tree was planted in honour of Margaret as appreciation

for hosting many reunions at the Carson homestead.

The last Harrison reunion was held in 1986 and the last Carson reunion was held in 1994.

While there are not yet plans for the next family reunion, there is hope it will not be so long next time before everyone gets together again.

Girls’ and Guys’ Night Out on Wednesdays News - With the start of a new school year come new programs at the Kemptville Youth Centre (KYC).

Previous programming at KYC included “Girls Night”, which allowed the girls at KYC to have a night to themselves with a mentor and no boys.

However, the boys began to protest this idea by offering to dress up in dresses in order to participate in Girls Night.

Due to the boys protest, KYC decided to incorporate a Guys Night into the new fall programming. KYC now hosts Girls and Guys Night on Wednesday evenings between 6 and 8 p.m.

One week the boys will have the upstairs while the girls have the downstairs and then they will make the switch the following week.

Wednesday, Sept. 4 was the first night of Girls and Guys Night at KYC. Youth decided that they wanted to have a battle of the sexes and see which team could bake the best cookies.

Youth made a bet that the losing team would have to wash all the dishes that were used that evening.

Youth were taken to the grocery store to pick out ingredients that they wanted to incorporate into their cookies.

With all ingredients on hand, Executive Director, Robin Heald helped the girls with their cookie baking, while Program Facilitator, Sean Corbett, helped the boys with their baking.

“Making cookies from scratch and having to find the recipe and shop for the ingredients was a great experience for our youth.” explained Robin Heald, Executive Director. After a lot of hard work, judges Jennifer Franssen, from the KYC Board of Directors and Daren Givoque, parent and Golf Committee Volunteer, determined that the winning team in the battle of the sexes cookie baking competition was the boys!

The boys made delicious peanut butter cookies with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and baked their way to victory, leaving the girls to wash the dishes at the end of the night.

When asked if the boy’s cookies were better than the girls cookies, Breanna, a youth participant, said “yes” with sad denial. Youth participants Austin and Ethan both enjoyed watching the girls bake and mess up a few times.

Austin added, “It was pretty fun because we didn’t know what kinds of ingredients we were going to put in the cookies.”

All participants are keen for a rematch. They are planning a cupcake battle of the sexes on September 18th.

Join us on Girls and Guys night for some segregated programming and fun competitive battles of the sexes.

All for a great cause News – On Saturday Aug. 31, Canadian Tire in Kemptville held its seventh annual fundraiser with 100 per cent of all proceeds going to help abused and unwanted animals at the Big Sky Ranch Animal Sanctuary. At left, Frank Hoffman, owner of the Canadian Tire (left) is presenting a cheque for $1,126.06 to Andy Parent, owner of Big Sky Ranch (right). Big Sky Ranch is the only non-kill facility of its kind in eastern Ontario. In the ten years since it was founded by Andy Parent in 2003, Big Sky Ranch has expanded its services from taking in unwanted animals of all kinds to taking some of those same animals to seniors homes, working with the youth court system and inviting area students to do their community service hours at Big Sky Ranch. “We could not do all of this without the support and help if organizations like Canadian Tire,” said Parent. “I appreciate the support of Frank, Lorna and Jessica Hoffman and all the staff at Canadian Tire,” said Parent.

Ottawa 67’s put on a show in Kemptville

By BRIAN WILSON

Sports – The Ontario Hockey League’s Ottawa 67’s opened their exhibition season in Kemptville at the North Grenville Municipal Centre on Sept. 4 against the Kingston Frontenacs.

The staff of the 67’s have some tough decisions to make, as they have a lot of young players at all positions.

Owner Jeff Hunt said that they traded their older talent and brought in some young kids. The future is bright but it is not going to be instantaneous.

Both Jeff Hunt and Brian Kilrea were in attendance.

The Fronts have some high expectations to fulfill, while the 67’s have a tough climb ahead of them.

Ottawa’s first overall draft pick, Travis Konecny, showed glimpses as to why better days are ahead, electrifying the crowd on several occasions.

He scored Ottawa’s only goal on a beautiful shot from the side boards 15 minutes into the second period and was later stopped on a breakaway that displayed some of his talent.

He appears to be going to develop into a great all around player.

Local flavour There is a visible local flavour to both teams. For Ottawa, it is Ryan Van Stralen from Prescott and Nevin Guy from Mountain and for KingsPhoto by BRIAN WILSON ton, it’s Warren Steele from Wil-

liamsburg and Marc Beckstead from Morrisburg.

At times, the 67’s were in the game and yet at other times they were dominated by the Fronts.

Thus is the development of a young team.

Former Ottawa Senator, Shean Donovan, now an assistant coach with the 67’s, said that “They are a very young team with lots to learn.

I hope that they will be able to learn from my experience.”

Andrew Abou-Assaly, not dressed for this game, said “We are a young team and need to show patience.

“We are expecting to earn a playoff berth this year even in the tough division we are in. Kingston, Belleville, Peterborough and Oshawa provide a difficult challenge.”

Kingston won the game by a score of 4-1 in front of an announced crowd of 1,461.

Kemptville Mayor, David Gordon and Game Sponsor, Jim Perry, presided over the ceremonial puck drop.

Ivy Deblois opened the game singing the national anthem.

Kemptville Minor Hockey provided the entertainment between both periods as the little ones took to the ice.

The Kemptville 73’s participated in the 50-50 draw. All in all, despite the home team loss, the crowd enjoyed the game.

So close - Ottawa 67’s Connor Graham (23) and Tyler Hill (12) are unable to get one by Kingston goaltender Jeremy Helvig (60)

Sports – This past Friday, Sept.

6, the Pembroke Lumber Kings visited North Grenville to take on the first place 73’s.

For the home opener, the 2013-14 team was introduced to the almost 200 fans in attendance.

The Kemptville organization honoured its long-time volunteers by having them all come to centre ice for a ceremonial puck drop.

In a fast paced, evenly matched first period, the Lumber Kings drew first blood. Two and a half minutes later, Dylan Giberson, with his first of the year, from Quinn Carroll and Dean Galasso evened the score at one. On a power play, in the last minute of the period, Pembroke scored to take a 2-1 lead into the break. Halfway through the second, Pembroke scored again to lead 3-1. Giberson notched his second of the game from Galasso and Carroll thirty seconds later to bring Kemptville within one of the lead. A little more than two minutes later Galasso scored with an assist going to Giberson. Again, in the last minute of the second the Kings scored on the power play to lead 4-3 at the end of two. In the final frame, Hayden Hanson, assisted by Jesse Blais and Olivier Chabot scored from the point to tie the game. Overtime solved nothing and the teams went to a shoot

out to determine the winner. The Kings won the shoot out for a final score of 5-4. Dylan Giberson was named the second star for his three-point performance. A team from the KDHMA Initiation program were featured in a mini game during the first intermission.

On Saturday, September 7, the 73’s traveled to the Jim Durell Complex to face the Ottawa Junior Senators. The 73’s opened the scoring when Jesse Blais scored his third of the season on the

power play. Picking up the assists were Jonathon Cyr and Brandon Seatter. Ottawa got the equalizer before the end of the period.

The second period saw a collapse of Kemptville’s game as Ottawa scored four times to hold a 5-1 lead after two. The third period saw Ottawa add one more to their lead.

Kemptville tried to get back into it when Dylan Giberson scored his third of the year assisted by Quinn Carroll on the power play. The Sens got a power play goal of their

own to restore their margin. Blais, Seatter and Cyr were at it again as Blais notched his second goal of the game. Ottawa enjoyed the 7-3 victory. Blais was named the third star.

The 73’s are back at it on Friday, Sept. 13 when they travel to Hawkesbury to face the winless Hawks.

On Sunday, Sept. 15, the Brockville Braves will supply the opposition. Puck drop is at 2 p.m.

Wick Witch Candle Co. crafts up fragrant creations in Merrickville Business – Rather than the eye of newt and bat whiskers found in a traditional witches’ brew, a new sorceress in Merrickville is cooking up a different combination using fragrant oils and soy wax.

Lianne Kulp-Aultman is the face behind Wick Witch Candle Co., which recently opened a new location in the heart of Merrickville within the historic Aaron Merrick building at 108 St. Lawrence Street.

The block also houses the Yellow Canoe Café, Mirick’s Landing Country Store and Unraveled. Previously situated in Perth from May until August of this year, she made the move to the small village on Aug. 26.

Wick Witch Candle Co. specializes in producing small batches of hand-poured 100 per cent all natural soy wax candles whose fragrant concoctions are an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional candles, right down to the stylish reusable containers.

A creative soul who enjoys refinishing antique furniture and thrift shopping, this business seems like anything but a job to Kulp-Aultman.

“It’s arts and crafts every day for work and that’s not work at all,” she commented.

No stranger to Merrickville, having called it home a few years back, Kulp-Aultman jumped at the chance to return.

“This space became available and I thought it would be a great opportunity to have a lot more exposure and traffic,” she said during a recent interview. “The locals in Perth were so supportive but I was missing out on tourist traffic from the main streets. It was too secluded a location.”

And she has been welcomed back with open arms. “The reception has been good so far. Word is getting out and it’s still pretty new, but all of the

One of the newest businesses to open in Merrickville is Wick Witch Candle Co., which specializes in 100 per cent, all natural soy candles.

Owned by Lianne Kulp-Aultman, the store is nestled within the historic Aaron Merrick building in the village. Above, Kulp-Aultman displays her eco-chic teacup candles. Above right, the interior of the shop transports customers into a vintage setting. businesses in the building have been really supportive as well,” KulpAultman remarked.

Stepping into Wick Witch’s intimate boutique, customers are immediately transported into a vintage

setting, complete with whimsical lighting antique fixtures which proudly display the lovingly crafted candles, available in 14-ounce apothecary style, eight-ounce rustic mason, six-pack tealights and

flameless wax melters, as well as individual votives.

One also can’t miss the wall of antique teacups in store, one of the most unique aspects to Wick Witch.

Due to the low burning point of soy wax, the fine bone china of the treasured teacups makes the perfect vessel for an elegant candle. KulpAultman offers pre-made up-cycled teacup candles or clients can bring in their own (or a treasured jar) and have it paired with their favourite smell.

“I like doing (custom candles) in a customer’s favourite teacup, jar or container because it personalizes it. I think that people also enjoy being able to interact with the crafter making the product,” KulpAultman stated. “It’s not from some big warehouse, you can see it being made onsite and it’s positive for the environment.”

Those teacups also take on another life as a garden candle on a copper tube, which can also be purchased in store. Kulp-Aultman uses a natural citronella scent to keep bugs at bay and once it has finished

burning, the cup can be wiped clean with soapy water and transforms into a bird feeder.

Kulp-Aultman said she has perfected an abundance of 21 scents and there’s something for everyone.

There’s no question that the bestselling fragrance is Wick Witch’s signature Bad Witch, a sensual and spellbinding aroma featuring patchouli, sandalwood, musk, amber and sage, mixed with the fruity clementine and mango.

“I have to pour Bad Witch almost every day to keep up with demand,” she said.

Its sister scent is the lighter Good Witch, a romantic infusion of citrus tones, violet flower and sweet grass.

Other popular fragrances include Ginger Lime, Clementine & Green Tea, Woodland Willow, Maple Sugar, Orange Pekoe, Warm Vanilla Sugar and Minty Green.

She recently unveiled her fall 2013 scents: Chutney Spice, featuring pumpkin, apple and clove; Ginger Nutmeg, reminiscent of a See WICK WITCH page 38

OPP seeing steady drop in Labour Day weekend traffic deaths

ginger molasses cookie; as well as warm and inviting Cinnamon Cider. Kulp-Aultman said she is also currently preparing her Christmas line which will feature mistletoe and peppermint smells.

Long road In six years, the Toledo native has come a long way from making candles just a few short blocks away on Lewis Street to opening her own business.

“I was selling candles off my front porch on the weekends when I lived here in Merrickville,” Kulp-Aultman commented. “I’ve had people come up to me and say that they’d been searching for me and can’t believe that I’m back in Merrickville.”

Her passion for soy candles developed while working as a flight attendant with Zoom Airlines.

“When I was flying around with Zoom, I fell in love with a brand on the west coast and when I came back to Ontario, I couldn’t find it or anything like it,” she recalled. So she did the next best thing and decided to make her own. “I started by ordering five pounds of (soy) wax at a time, experimenting and trying to make my own, now I’m up to ordering 500!”

She decided to turn it into a business when, after six years with the company, Zoom went

While taking small business courses, perfecting her scents, candle blends and packaging, Kulp-Aultman was a regular on the local craft show circuit. “You make a lot of bad candles before you make a lot of good ones,” she joked.

She has a passion for the candle making process and providing a product that is also environmentally responsible was important to her. There are many benefits to choosing soy candles, she pointed out.

“I really like that soy is clean burning, lasts twice as long and is from a sustainable, renew-

able resource,” Kulp-Aultman explained. “The oils, wicks, everything is all natural and the candles are dye-free. There are no scary ingredients that you can’t pronounce.”

“There’s the education aspect too. People still aren’t sold on soy because they don’t know the benefits of soy over traditional paraffin wax,” she added. “I’m trying to change that.”

Wick Witch Candle Co. is open seven days a week, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit www.wickwitch.com or look for their page on Facebook.

News – With a busy 2013 Labour Day Long weekend behind them, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) reported three fatalities in OPP jurisdiction over the weekend, but they are relieved to see a steady decline in the number of Labour Day weekend traffic deaths.

As part of their ongoing efforts to save lives, the OPP stepped up enforcement on highways, waterways and trails over the weekend and particular attention was being cast on motorists who were caught driving distracted.

Sadly, a 16-year-old male died after being struck by a motor vehicle while he was skateboarding. A 41-yearold woman died in a motor vehicle collision after being ejected from the vehicle and another man (age unconfirmed) died when he lost control of his off-road ve-

hicle (ORV).

“Despite the tragic loss of three lives this past weekend, when we look at the last five years, I am encouraged to see a 23 per cent decline in Labour Day weekend fatal road crashes in OPP jurisdiction and a 100 per cent drop in marine fatalities on OPP policed waterways,” said Chief Superintendent Don, Bell, Commander, OPP Highway Safety Division.

“In contrast, Labour Day weekend ORV fatalities are up 25 per cent over the same five-year period and I encourage the ORV community to work with the OPP to reduce these numbers,” added Bell.

“It was disappointing to see distracted drivers continue to pose a risk to road users this past weekend, with our officers laying 397 distracted driving charges compared to

107 impaired driving charges,” said Deputy Commissioner Larry Beechey, Provincial Commander, Traffic Safety and Operational Support.

According to Beechey, aggressive driving continues to be a significant problem on long weekends and the Labour Day weekend was no exception with 6,078 speeding charges and 64 street racing charges being laid (for driving 50 km/h or more over the posted speed limit).

Various other charges were laid, including 535 seat belt charges and a total of 87 Warn Range suspensions were issued to drivers with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) in the 0.05 to 0.08 range (or 50 to 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood).

St. John Ambulance announces ‘Caring for Our Community’ capital campaign The ‘Caring for Our Community’ campaign will have an official launch on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, 2014 with a celebratory breakfast at CJ’s Banquet Hall in Brockville. In the next five months, preparation and planning for this campaign launch will take place. The chair of the ‘Caring for Our Community’ campaign is Richard M. Dumbrille of Maitland. He is joined on the campaign team by Sandra Lawn (Prescott); Craig McQuitty (retired Colonel – Canadian Forces, Ottawa, ON); Jim Fairfield (Brockville); Doug Labron (Brockville); and Margaret Wicklum (Brockville); with Jodi Wallace (St. John office administrator) and David Dargie (campaign coordinator) as support staff.

“We have a strong campaign team that will be supplemented by the members of our brigade and our many friends and supporters throughout Leeds-Grenville and Lanark counties,” said Dargie.

“We will be announcing our honourary R0012224644_0725

News – Jeff Shaver, (retired Lieutenant Colonel – Canadian Forces and former Commanding Officer of the Brockville Rifles), who is chair of the board of directors for the St. John Ambulance Branch of Leeds-Grenville & Lanark announced Sept. 6 that preliminary work has begun on a $350,000 capital campaign that will run from February 2014 to September 2014.

The ‘Caring for Our Community’ capital campaign has a goal of raising $350,000 to be used for dissolving the current mortgage on St. John House and building an enclosure on the Abbott Street property to protect the brigade’s service vehicles from inclement weather.

“By eliminating the debt on our home base – St. John House in Brockville, we will free up resources that can then be used for our operating costs,” Shaver stated. “Similarly, our building project will help our service vehicles be better prepared for deployment during the winter months and help to ensure a longer life for the vehicles.”

Since 1959 the St. John Ambulance Brigade has been caring for the LeedsGrenville & Lanark communities. St. John Ambulance is a volunteer organization that receives no direct government funding.

Studio Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old Love offers challenges to actors and laughter to audience edy couching a thought-provoking message about the human condition.

As Tennant puts it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I like most about this play is how genuinely it reflects some relationships. I hope people laugh at the humour, but also walk away with a different perspective as to someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationships.â&#x20AC;?

As for Grey Masson who plays Bud, he has his own reasons for liking this play. He says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very funny, very touching â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and I get to kiss a girl.â&#x20AC;?

Old Love runs Sept. 12, 13, 14, 20 and 21 at 8 p.m. with matinees Sept.

15 and 22 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance, from the Book Nook in Perth, $22 at the door or at Tickets Please (credit cards accepted). For each performance there are $10 rush seats at the box office for students with ID. With its new elevator and improved

By JOAN SONNENBURG

Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever done any acting, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know it is as demanding art.

On top of memorizing pages of lines, the actor must put his own personality aside and try and inhabit the skin of another person for several hours. Not an easy undertaking.

So imagine what it is like for the actors in the Perth Studio Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening production of Old Love who must be two or more characters during the course of one play.

On the surface, this story by Norm Foster seems straightforward enough.

Bud meets Molly, the bossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, falls in love with her, but for 25 years is forced to worship from afar. He marries, but is eventually divorced. Then Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband dies and the door is open for Bud to renew his romantic pursuit.

Seems like an uncomplicated plot.

But hey, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking Norm Foster here, the playwright whose quirky sense of humour has made him a favourite of theatre companies and audiences across Canada and the US. The story is told through a series of flashbacks, meaning we see Bud and Molly at various ages along with a parade of characters from their past: Arthur, Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now dead husband; Kitty, his ex-wife; Arthur Jr., his son; Kendra, Arthur Jr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife; a sarcastic secretary, and three girlfriends from Budâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s post marital past.

So where does Foster start Budâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renewed pursuit of Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affection?

Why Arthurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funeral, of course.

Foster allows the cast to be made up of two, four or seven actors. Veteran director David Parry has opted to use four actors. Grey Masson plays Bud Mitchell, who used to work for Arthur until Arthur sold the company. Bud stayed on and is now the boss of the company. Jennifer Pfizer plays Molly Graham, Arthurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, now pursued

by Bud. Lucas Tennant plays Arthur, Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s philandering husband, and also, Arthur Jr., Arthur and Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, a shy fellow, married to Kendra.

While Juli Heney doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play one of the main characters, she makes up for it in quantity and variety of minor characters. She plays not only Kitty, Budâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ambitious, social-climbing wife, but Kendra, Arthur Jr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s domineering wife; Shirley, Arthurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Budâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secretary; and Claire, Delores and Sandra, Budâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girlfriends.

A challenge? Definitely. Says Jenny Pfitzer who plays Molly, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Depicting

Certificates can be purchased through our regular ticket outlets: Tickets Please, 39 Foster Street, 613-485-6434 (credit cards accepted-convenience fee applies); The Book Nook, 56 Gore Street East (cash only); The Studio Theatre Box Office, (open every Saturday morning throughout the summer and one hour before each performance) or call 613267-7469.

The Studio Theatre in Perth is getting set for its opening production of the season, Norm Fosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old Love, which will run from Sept. 12, 13, 14, 20 and 21 at 8 p.m. with matinees on Sept. 15 and 22 at 2 p.m.

Above, Lucas Tennant and Juli Heney rehearse a scene. the passage of time clearly and credibly is as interesting as it is challenging.

Over a span of over 30 years, we will see Molly and her relationships evolve as the various vignettes are played out.

She will run through a virtual rainbow of emotions and attitudes. She will be happy, sad, sarcastic, wistful, scared, brash, sardonic, angry, caustic and gentle... to name but a few.â&#x20AC;?

The others agree. Lucas Tennant (Arthur and Arthur Jr.) finds the change in personality of his characters particularly challenging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One is

a self obsessed business tycoon who believes heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suave but really itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his money that makes him desirable,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the second character is so much a push over he has to ask others what it is he should be feeling. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredible fun to explore the depths each one will sink to as they interact with others. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m actually looking forward to being hated as the first character,â&#x20AC;? Tennant added.

Like most Foster plays Old Love is a delightful mixture of hilarious com-

Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam to visit Hawkesbury Harley dealership Sept. 14

By THERESA FRITZ theresa.fritz@metroland.com

Community – It will be 50 shades of anarchy in Hawkesbury Sept. 1415.

That’s when Charlie Hunnam, star of the FX television show Sons of Anarchy and newly named to play Christian Grey in the movie adaptation of E.L. James 50 Shades of Grey, visits Goulet Motorsports HarleyDavidson in the eastern Ontario community.

Hunnam’s first time visit to the community follows sold-out visits from former Sons cast member Ryan Hurst (Opie) in March and current cast member Tommy Flannagan (Chibs) in June. Hunnam, 33, will be at Goulet Motorsports Sept. 14 from 5-10 p.m. for a meet and greet, autograph signing and dinner under a big tent outdoors.

The cast visits to Hawkesbury are a partnership between Goulet Motorsports and Full Throttle Events. Full Throttle is a promotions company based in Lachute, Que. organizing exclusive meet and greet events with stars of the show.

“It was an idea that I had when I first met the cast (of Sons of Anarchy) in Texas…they were excited about it,” explained John Younkie of Full Throttle Events. “And then we expanded it nationally. We travel all over Canada.”

Younkie, who buys his motorcycles from Goulet Motorports, said the partnership with his home dealership was a natural thing. From there, the

Sons of Anarchy start Charlie Hunnam will be meeting fans at Goulet Motorsports in Hawkesbury Sept. 14 then he and two other castmates will be leading a fall motorcycle ride Sept. 15.

VIP meet and greets expanded to other Harley dealerships across Canada.

And the events attract patrons willing to pay anywhere from $125 to $250 for the chance to rub shoulders with their favourite television outlaws.

“We have nothing but great reaction to these events,” Younkie said.

The events draw not only local residents, but also fans from Ottawa, Montreal and beyond.

“They are a huge draw. This time, we have people coming from New York, we have a couple coming from Alaska, a couple from Boston…it is quite something,” Younkie com-

mented.

As for Hunnam, Younkie says fans are in for a treat as the British-born actor is a real people person who loves doing these events.

“He is a real down to earth kind of guy. He enjoys meeting the fans,” Younkie said.

Sunday’s triple bill And while the Sept. 14 event is sold out, fans of the show need not despair. As a special add on, Hunnam’s castmates Flannagan and Mark Boone (Bobby) will join him Sept. 15 for a fall motorocycle ride. The ride cost $25 and will include a breakfast. Kickstands will go up at 11 a.m. for the scenic ride with the three actors riding as grand marshals for the event.

After the ride, participants as well as the public are welcome back to Goulet Motorsports for lunch. The event will be licensed and music will be provided by Texarillo.

Around 1 p.m. Hunnam and company will be available for photo sessions on a first come, first served basis. Younkie said this will mark the first time the three Sons stars are in Canada at the same time.

The sixth season of Sons of Anarchy begins Sept. 10 with Hunnam reprising his role of Jax Teller, president of the outlaw motorcycle club’s Redwood Original Chapter. Boone is the vice-president of the club and Flannagan is the sergeant-at-arms.

“We expected around 125 or 150 to take part in the ride. We have 580 people taking part,” he said. “All three (actors) will be onstage. Imagine the president, VP and secretary of SAMCRO (Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original) will be together. They will be there until 4 p.m. and then we have to get them back to the airport.”

Goulet Motorsports is located at 189 John St. in Hawkesbury.

Rebuilt 1949 Hudson street rod on the road again!

Lifestyle – Our phone rang. It was Eugene Barna calling to let me know that his son Peter was on his way from his home in Atikokan, Ontario, to Leamington, where he grew up, and he was driving his newly completed 1949 Hudson street rod – and would I like to see it when he rolls into town? “Yes! Yes! Yes!” was my reply.

I had met Peter about three years ago when he rolled into town behind the wheel of his yellow street-rodded 1934 International pickup truck. At that time, he mentioned that he was working on a 1949 Hudson, and I said I hope to see it down here someday.

That day arrived near the end of June 2013 when I drove over to his parents’ home here in town. The Hudson was parked in the driveway and facing the street. What a beauty!

The gleaming Ruby Mica Pearl (’08 Sub-

aru colour), dazzling chrome, and big wide whitewall radial tires made the car look like a picture right out of a glossy magazine. I was treated to a drive around town as Peter told me the story behind the car.

Another resident in Atikokan had purchased the car some time ago in Pinawa, Manitoba, a small town northeast of Winnipeg. It had been off the road for several years and was complete but needed a total rebuild.

It was the Super Six model and still had its original flathead six engine. Peter purchased it and the fun began. He disassembled the

The body work proceeded and included new inner fenders custom-made with a ’76 Nova front clip.

The engine compartment now is a dream to look at. The engine is a 454 big block Chevy with 4-bbl Edelbrock carb and intake. A serpentine belt from Billet connects the alternator, A/C compressor, water pump, and power steering pump to give the engine a superclean design. The master brake cylinder is under the dash to further enhance the clean design of the engine compartment. The trans-

mission is a 700R automatic with a 9-inch Ford rear end from a ’76 Bronco. Peter had to search far and wide for a rear end with the proper width to clear the rear tires and found one near Oshawa.

The only piece still missing is the stainless trim for the rear window. With Peter’s perseverance, we know he’ll find it!

I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my latest book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

From engine noises to tinting – car counsellor covers variety of topics “Hello Brian, Just an update on something I sent earlier.

This past weekend I saw a car, in Orleans, with the driver’s/front passenger’s window so dark that the driver had to put his windows down about 6” so he could make a U-turn. At least he knew he had restricted vision and didn’t just ‘go for it’ like some drivers.”

Lorne Facey I don’t know why this is still a grey area in Ontario.

In BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia, applying aftermarket tinting to either of the front door windows is illegal. In Manitoba, the law spells out the amount of light that tinting must allow in or out in terms of percentages. These regulations allow less tinting on the front door windows than rear glass. The reasons from these jurisdictions for limiting tint range from reducing vehicle collisions, lowering risks to pedestrians, to improved police officer safety.

Tinting is still a very popular option for new and used vehicles alike as drivers appreciate the improvement in air-conditioning performance, reduced glare inside the vehicle, and increased privacy. The Ministry of Transportation regulations leave enforcement pretty much up to the attending officer’s judgement. So there’s really no such thing as ‘Police Approved’ tinting. Until there’s a collective cry for more regulation or an increase in collisions caused by dark tinting, I’m not holding my breath to see things changed here. But if

four provinces find tinting to be such a hazard, they ban it altogether; it makes you wonder why our crowded and densely travelled roads don’t merit this improvement in safety.

Lifestyle – “Hi Brian, My 2006 Chevrolet Impala has valve lifters that are making noise. Should I add (an engine oil) supplement or not. It has over 500,000 km on the odometer.”

HB If the lifter noise goes away after start up, the hydraulic lifters may be ‘leaking down’ and losing their ability to react to valve-train movement. If the noise is there even after warm up, one or more lifters may be collapsed altogether. Either way, an additive that would thicken the engine oil enough to resolve this, may to more harm than good by blocking small oil passages.

At 500,000 km there may be other valve-train components that are causing the noise. There are a variety of additives on parts stores’ shelves that can help a tired engine without increasing the risk of creating a sludge problem. But be aware, there’s no such thing as a mechanic in a can. Excessive valvetrain or upper engine noise usually means something has worn past the point of maximum tolerance and replacing a part(s) is usually the only way to rectify the situation. As this type of job can easily approach or exceed $1,000 it would be wise to consider the vehicle’s overall value before proceeding.

Oil additives are relatively cheap and easy to try and if they don’t work out, then an oil change is all it takes to get rid of them. You might want to consider trying one of the high mileage engine oils at your next oil change.

world could you live with enormous protected wetlands on the edge of town, great blue herons on the side of the river, hackberry trees lining the waterfalls, and large tracts of deciduous forest just outside the town? Sounds great. But just what is living in those wetlands and forests?

There is much more than just deer and bears. The theme of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public talks is about exactly this â&#x20AC;&#x201C; connecting with and appreciating our natural surroundings and understanding how they are linked to big picture nature conservation.

So how did Caroline fall in love with nature and come to connect with Ontario Nature? Discover this, know about nature in your backyard, care about the boreal forest, and forge connections to nature in distant places you may never visit by attending Caroline Schultzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;From Our Backyards to the Boreal Forest and Beyondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Sept.

polar bears flying south. But certainly most of the birds are on their way.

Geese, grebes, loons, herons, cranes, grosbeaks and blackbirds will be passing through soon.

Thus our backyards matter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether they are measured in square feet or square kilometers.

Nature-friendly gardening and land stewardship can provide resting areas for migrating birds and can help pollinators such as native bees and butterflies. We can plant trees, protect our forests, leave the shoreline at the cottage natural, or plant native shrubs to replace lakeside lawns â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there is something each of us can do to make Lanark County better for wildlife. The cumulative effects of such simple actions are very powerful when thousands of people do them.

This will help to ensure that Lanark County not only keeps its natural beauty, but increases it in the future.

Working to ensure that municipalities have robust natural heritage systems in their Official Plans and opening the doors to the wonders of nature, especially to our youth, are also vital for ensuring that we protect the biodiversity that sustains us.

But, our backyards are connected beyond the boreal! Everything we do here in Ontario has an impact beyond our borders. This ranges from the importance of sustaining vital migratory or breeding habitat for birds to minimizing our carbon footprint to sustaining our freshwater systems that are part of the global hydrological cycle. Everything is connected.

Imagine, we have responsibilities as global environmental stewards and we should be proud of this.

But Ontario has the fourth highest ecological footprint compared with 60 countries around the world. Canada has the eight highest. We need to earn the right to be proud as proactive environmental leaders.

Lanark County is a beautiful place to spend the year, but life is always more enjoyable when you know enough about your surroundings to appreciate them. Where else in the

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The goldenrods and asters are turning our roadsides yellow and blue again. The grackles have already left, and the goldfinches are preparing to leave. The bears are fattening up on a bumper crop of acorns. Yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s autumn. And one of the regular events of autumn is the start of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (MVFN) new lecture series, this year entitled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Knowing and Caring Connect Us With Nature.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; MVFN is very fortunate to have an outstanding speaker to start the season. In her presentation, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;From Our Backyards to the Boreal and Beyondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, Caroline Shultz, executive director of Ontario Nature and conservation biologist, will speak about the enormous boreal forest (half of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land area) which is just to our north, how it is connected to our backyards, and how our backyards are connected to nature beyond the boreal.

The boreal forest is the land of conifer forest, home of the woodland caribou, and a vast nursery for songbirds and waterfowl. Many of these visit Lanark County each spring, on their way north, and each autumn, on their way back south.

Songbirds that breed on the very edge of the tree line near Hudson Bay may very well rest in a tree in your own backyard on their way back to the rain forest for the winter. As well, the boreal forest has vast wetlands â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Hudson Bay lowlands region is one of the ten largest wetlands in the world.

Its extensive peatlands store massive amounts of carbon keeping it out of our atmosphere where it could do great damage to our climate. Its vast freshwater ecosystems play a major role in global hydrological cycles.

Boreal forest conservation further ensures an abundance of wild forest and freshwater foods and sustainable livelihoods for northern residents.

Many of wild the boreal inhabitants are about to move south in the coming month. Not the polar bears or caribou of course. At least, no one in the field naturalists has yet seen flocks of
