Survey helps police plan for future services Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Residents of North Grenville are being presented with the opportunity to have a real say about where tax dollars are spent.

The Community Policing Survey 2015 will be coming to a mailbox near you and all residents are encouraged to take the three minutes to fill it out. Police service is the single biggest cost to the municipality, ringing in at $2.8 million in 2015.

A similar survey was con-

ducted in 2011, providing invaluable information to the North Grenville Police Services Board (NGPSB) about where best to direct policing resources.

“The police services board is mandated by the Ontario Police Services Act to determine, in partnership with the local OPP detachment commander, the local objectives and priorities of your police service,” said Don Sherritt, chair of the NGPSB. See POLICE page K2

A select group of foundation members, hospital patients and community stakeholders came out Oct. 3 to celebrate the re-opening of the Heart of Giving Memorial Garden at Kemptville District Hospital. The 2003 garden had become overgrown until this summer when a duo was enlisted to bring it back to life. Plans are to install benches and a stone path next spring to ensure everyone can enjoy the garden. From left to right: Robert Noseworthy (foundation chair), Frank Onasanya (town councillor and hospital board member), Margret Norenberg (vice chair of the foundation), and Joanne Mavis, executive director of the foundation. The group applauded all the individuals and businesses who made the re-opening last weekend possible before cutting the ribbon in celebration. See photos on page K23.

AWARD WINNING Black River Cheese Company FINE ARTISAN CHEESE Sets New Record Having won numerous awards over the past 114 years, including at the Canadian Grand Prix Cheese Competition, the company is no stranger to awards but this was a new company record.

With such a prestigious number of 1st place awards at the Belleville Fall Fair’s Annual Cheese Competition, General Manager and Master Cheese Maker, Doug Peters commented, “Our success at this regional event attests to our company and staff’s dedication to produce cheese that sets the highest standard when it comes to great tasting, quality fine cheese. I’m proud to be spearheading such a great team and we look forward to future competitions that will allow us to showcase

“We’re all on the same page,” Warden Dave Gordon said following her presentation. Council unanimously passed the resolution.

Asphalt quality concerns spur letter to ministry The Ministry of Transportation will be receiving a letter from counties council urging the minister to take immediate action to improve the quality standard of asphalt cement in Ontario.

Counties council passed its resolution which shows support of an Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus position paper on deteriorating asphalt cement quality. The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) is also asking the provincial government to become involved. “It’s costing all of our municipalities’ money,” Warden Dave Gordon said, adding in some cases roads are only lasting two years.

In the past, roads could have a 20-year lifespan but this has dropped to 10-15 years or less.

Warden Gordon said because the product is unregulated, some of the materials are unhealthy and unreliable but are being used on public roads.

Resolution on Provincial Offences Act Counties council passed a

resolution asking the Ministry of the Attorney General to phase in increases in cost recovery rates for court adjudication services and enforcing the Act’s transfer agreement for Jan. 1, 2016. The resolution also asks the ministry to increase court costs and late fees to help offset the rise. These fees have not increased since 2009.

The ministry plans to increase the Provincial Offences Act (POA) cost recovery rates from $200 to $300 per in-court hour. It also plans to increase the enforcing and monitoring of the POA Transfer Agreement cost recovery from a 50/50 cost sharing to full cost recovery for the delivery of these services. Both increases are to be effective Jan. 1, 2016.

Council’s resolution states the increases will impact the net POA revenue received by the United Counties, the City of Brockville, and the Towns of Gananoque and Prescott. A copy of the letter will also be sent to the Ministry of the Attorney General, the Municipal Court Managers Association, the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus, the City of Brockville, and the Towns of Gananoque and Prescott.

PICTON, ON - It’s the season of Fall Fairs and competitions and, this year, The Black River Cheese Company is setting a new level of achievement and standard for great cheese.

Winning in three categories for its Mild, Medium and 2 Year Aged Cheddars, its Marble cheese (a combination of cheddar and mozzarella), as well as in the Variety Cheese category with its Mozzarella, the company set its newest record of 1st place ribbons for any one event. In fact, the ºcompany not only won first place wins for its cheese, but also for Best Display as well as for Best Finished cheese and being the Highest Scoring participant in the event - no small feat.

The following are highlights of the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville Council meeting held on Thursday, Sept.

24.

The United Counties are joining a growing number of municipalities opposing the privatization of Hydro One by the Province of Ontario.

Counties council became the 137th municipality in Ontario to pass a resolution asking the Province to “immediately stop” the sale and commit to keeping Hydro One as a public asset for the benefit of all Ontarians. The resolution is also asking the province to respect the autonomy of local distribution companies and their decision making powers by not forcing these companies into mergers or sales.

Members heard a delegation from Athens resident Rhonda Ferguson, who is part of a citizen’s coalition opposed to the sale.

“It’s a public asset and it needs to remain a public asset,” Ferguson said. She noted studies have shown when hydro has been privatized in Canada and other parts of the world, the costs have gone up. In Quebec and Manitoba, where public systems have been maintained, rates for electricity remain lower, she said.

our growing selection of innovative and classic cheese products.”

With the forthcoming, renowned Royal Winter Agricultural Fair in November, it will not be long before the company has another opportunity to win further recognition and

more awards. As Doug Peters adds, “Our company is looking forward to the challenge of maintaining our competitive edge in this event’s annual, National Cheese Competition.”

Judging by its growing recognition across Ontario for its extensive selection of specialty

cheese, fine cheddars and mozzarellas by both consumers and retailers alike, The Black River Cheese Company is definitely raising the bar when it comes to award-winning, fine artisan cheese in the highly competitive Canadian cheese industry.

Scott Reid: Man about the house Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Editor’s note: This is the final installment in a series of LanarkFrontenac-Kingston candidate profiles running in the weeks leading up to the federal election Oct. 19.

Scott Reid is standing in his dining room, barefoot, in shorts, reciting, from memory, the opening lines of the poem popularly known as “The Night Before Christmas.”

He is particularly excited about these lines: “Away to the window I flew like a flash/Tore open the shutter and threw up the sash.”

As a child, the lines had always puzzled him. Now, stand-

ing before his historic Perth home’s dining room windows, he points to his very own shutters and sashes.

The Conservative Party candidate for the new riding of LanarkFrontenac-Kingston, was in the midst of a tour of his Perth home near Stewart Park on Wednesday, Sept. 9. Obviously house-proud of the home he has settled into with Robin, his new wife, whom he married in the hallway this past winter, and her son, Ryan, 12, this is also an auspicious day to meet.

Queen Victoria began her 64year reign in 1837 – the same year Reid’s new house was built.

Later that very afternoon, Queen Elizabeth II would overtake Victoria as Great Britain’s longest-

reigning monarch, and Robin and Scott were hosting several Queen’s Jubilee Medal winners for an English tea.

When not reciting American poetry, our interview began in Reid’s workout room, where he has mastered the art of healthy multi-tasking: “You can walk and type at the same time,” he says proudly, pointing to his treadmill, which has been re-fashioned with a simple board across the handlebars, functioning as a desk he can sit his laptop computer on.

He has a similar one at his Parliament Hill office in Ottawa.

However, once he hits two miles per hour – it is an American machine, after all – “You can See REID page 4

still read, but you can’t type.” Slow and steady.

The house was built for John Haggart, who had worked on the Rideau Canal. He settled in Perth and bought the grist mill across the street. John was a confirmed bachelor into his 50s, when he married a younger woman, Isabella.

The couple had a son, also named John, and Haggart served as the mayor of Perth and was the second MP for Lanark South (echoes from both Reid’s life and that of his NDP rival, John Fenik.)

“I did not learn any of this until after I bought the house,” said Reid, now standing in the great hallway. In 2003, after his time at Queen’s Park ended, Ontario’s former Lieutenant Governor, James K. Bartleman, moved into the house with his wife, and the Reid family moved in about a year ago.

“You can feel all of the people who were here,” he says, including both John Haggart senior and junior, who literally left their marks on the place – more specifically, their signatures, scrawled into the windows, both upstairs and downstairs.

Long political trail The Architectural Digest portion of our interview concluded, we adjourn to the kitchen for tea out of fine china cups, borrowed for that afternoon’s toast to the Queen. (Interestingly, Reid abhors sugar, seldom partaking. “I’m a complete sugar abstainer,” he said.)

The conversation, now moved to the sunroom, the newest addition to the house, also moves from the political to the personal.

On Monday, Oct. 19, he will leave this house with his wife, with Reid wearing his Canada Maple Leaf tartan kilt.

“You only want to wear a tartan that, under the rules, you are permitted to wear,” he explained. “Reids are Robertsons,” in terms of clans. (He even has a Lanark Highlands tartan tie he wears on occasion.)

Amongst the few non-family guests at their wedding was Mark Seabrook, an Ojibwe artist from Manitoulin Island, friend to both Robin and Scott.

Seabrook’s wife was the official, and Seabrook himself took pictures. Robin’s friend Adam also played guitar, and Robin walked down the stairs in her wedding dress towards the waiting guests. (Robin was friends with one of Reid’s employees, which is how they met.)

Reid can read a poll as well as any politician, and this year’s race is certainly looking to be a tough one for a Conservative incumbent government. Only one prime minister, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, a Liberal, has ever been elected to a fourth consecutive mandate, in 1908, and no Conservative has ever equaled that.

“Thank you so much,” she said, then busied herself at inscribing her name just under the logo on the golf shirt.

One fan unloaded a shopping bag full of Faces magazines for Brooke to sign… but not just with her autograph.

“Can you put, ‘I HEART Golf’ then sign it?” he asked. “Could you maybe do that on all of them?”

Brooke just smiled and obliged the man’s request.

Smiths Falls golfing sisters, Brooke and Brittany Henderson made their way from the links where they played a round of golf today, to Mike Fair’s Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac dealership for the United Way Lanark County’s fundraising campaign kickoff.

“It’s a great cause, and does a lot of good for people in the community,” Brooke said of the United Way. “We’re really honoured to be here today.”

The girls signed autographs, giving away signed players’ cards to their fans.

The lineup to see the girls was steady for the first hour of their 4 to 7 p.m. appearance.

“We’re home for a couple weeks,” Brooke said, while scribbling her name on a Ping golf hat. She flipped it to her sister to do the same.

Then they’re back on the links in some upcoming tournaments, and possibly looking for a place to live south of the border.

Do you have a place in Florida?

“Not yet, but we may be looking soon,” Brooke said.

United Way is an important charity for Fair, as they have been participating in payroll deductions for the past five years.

“As a reward to those employees who have the payroll deductions, they get to dress down,” she said. “So they get a little bit of something back…a casual day.”

Fifth annual Merrickville’s Jazz Fest unfolds Oct. 15 to 18 akulp@perfprint.ca

Enjoy an authentic jazz experience in a variety of venues as Merrickville’s Jazz Fest (MJF) puts the swing into the village for its fifth year Oct. 15 to 18.

Eighteen musicians from Toronto, Ottawa-Gatineau and the local area will take over Merrickville during the festival, which continues to grow in popularity each year.

“We had over 65 applications for the festival this year and last year we had 50,” noted MJF director Peggy Holloway. “What’s interesting is that they (musicians) are coming from further afield.” “...It’s fantastic and so thrilling that it’s growing the way it has,” she added. “It’s satisfying.”

The selection committee reviewed applications from the end of May until July, when they came up with the

final list, a lineup Holloway calls a “wonderful crosssection of different types of jazz” including Latin and jazz fusion as well as traditional.

What’s unique about MJF is the way it’s formatted. Music enthusiasts can experience jazz in a number of different settings: local restaurants, churches or the community centre. Each offers something special, Holloway said, and the schedule has been co-ordinated so visitors can attend all 17 shows over the four days. “...Musicians seem to have embraced it wholeheartedly.

They want to come. There’s something magic about festivals to people who like to be together playing their music,” Holloway said, who plans to go to all the shows and encourages others to do so as well. A festival pass which provides access to all 17 events, is $75, day passes are available for $45, or single

event tickets can be purchased for $20 each. Tickets are available online at www.merrickvillesjazzfest. com or in the village at The Knock Knock Shoppe or Merrickville Book Emporium.

“This is a great deal. These are groups that would normally cost

you a lot more,” Holloway indicated.

This year’s venues include the Baldachin Inn ballroom, Merrickville Community Centre, St. Ann Catholic Church, Merrickville United Church, Holy Trinity Anglican Church, as well as the Goose &

Gridiron Restaurant & Pub. “It’s a cultural event, to have the buildings used in Merrickville and to be able to use the churches and show the (Baldachin Inn) ballroom, it’s a gorgeous venue to show,” Holloway remarked. “...And the restaurant venues are nearly full

right now.”

Those interested in attending performances at the Goose & Gridiron or Baldachin, should call the restaurant ahead to reserve seating.

When Stella Horan’s husband retired in 2003, the couple considered volunteering to fill their time. In discussions with Canadian Cancer Society volunteers in Johnstown, where the Horan’s then lived, they learned about the importance of the volunteerdriver program, which transports clients to cancer treatments and cancer related appointments at hospitals from Ottawa to Kingston to Toronto, and various points between.

The couple began driving for the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville community office of the Canadian Cancer Society in 2003, and continued until Stella’s husband died of cancer in 2010. That didn’t stop her, nor did a recent move to Cardinal, as she still drives clients regularly to hospitals in Ottawa, Kingston and Winchester.

Horan said her dedication to the volunteer-driver program is simple: “They need to get there,” she noted.

She also enjoys driving, and easily fills her time during client appointments by either waiting at the hospital during shorter visits or running errands during longer treatments.

Transportation Service The Canadian Cancer Society’s Wheels of Hope helps more than 119 clients throughout Lanark, Leeds and Grenville. Last year, the society’s volunteer drivers drove 292,524 kilometres, with each trip costing an average of just more than $60 due to the long distances travelled in eastern Ontario.

The average cost of providing service to someone in our community through treatment is $840. In 2014 the society provided support to 18 families who have a child with cancer through the Family Transportation Service.

New patients who register with Wheels of Hope will be required to pay a one-time $100 registration fee. Children 18-years-old or under will not be charged. If you are unable to pay the full registration fee, you may be offered assistance through our compassionate program which will be determined during the intake process.

We are committed to ensuring that no patient is denied a ride due to their inability to pay the entire registration fee.

If you would like to help get a local cancer patient to their canAbout the Wheels of Hope cer treatments you can donate

Over the years, she said, she has known at least half of the clients she has driven to appointments, and she has gotten to know others as she drives them to multiple appointments. She has lived in the Johnstown-Cardinal area her whole life and finds she is now driving people whose relatives she drove in past years.

Horan has driven hundreds of people of all ages, and says some clients want to talk during the drives, which she welcomes.

“We have good conversations,” she explained. She drove a man recently from Cardinal who mentioned his mother-inlaw, and it turned out Horan had driven her husband to several appointments 10 years ago.

“We talk about whatever they want to talk about,” she said. “If they want to sleep, that’s fine too.”

“You take your cues from them,” she added. “Some people might want to be quiet.”

Horan said she would recommend the volunteer-driver experience to anyone who asked. She plans to keep going as long as she can, since she knows the routes and knows that she is helping people who need it.

Saying goodbye to a friend

he Ottawa Valley lost an icon on Oct. 1.

Max Keeping was a reporter, a news anchor and he came into thousands of homes every weeknight across Ottawa and eastern Ontario on CJOH, later CTV Ottawa.

But he was more than that.

He could have lived a 9-to-5 life and headed home after the cameras shut down at the end of each newscast. But he was more than willing to do much more.

Keeping knew he was considered a friend to his viewers.

He could have capitalized on that by appearing in commercial advertisements but he made the choice to put full his effort into helping those less fortunate. Keeping backed charities across the region – notably CHEO – encouraging viewers to help too, all in that familiar, calm tone of voice.

Who could fail to respond when a friend asked for help?

So Keeping was iconic. But he was more because he was not just a celebrity seeking more fame and more notoriety. He saw that

kind of opportunity existed but made a conscious decision to take a pass because kids, seniors and so many others might benefit from his connection with TV viewers.

An example that touched our reporting staff: one cold winter’s night in 2003, Keeping drove straight from his newscast to the old bingo hall on Merivale Road, arriving minutes after 7 p.m. simply because he’d been asked to help out. He arrived to call out the final bingo numbers as one lucky player won a new car.

It was all for charity of course.

And the connection this area felt with Keeping was on display for all. As he walked in the room and gave his familiar wave, he received a standing ovation from the packed house.

He was good for the region and the region knew it. He lived life to the max.

The greatest tribute anyone can pay to Keeping’s lifelong support of charities is to make sure the efforts continue. If you were inspired by Keeping and his mantra: do something to make a difference in another’s life.

Max, you will be missed.

Drama ensues over drawing that vanishes into ‘thin air’ Emerson was raging mad. He was thumping around the kitchen, arms waving, and his face was the colour of his flaming red hair. “It was right there, I tell ya,” he said, stabbing his finger on top of a pile of notepaper. “I accidentally folded down a corner of the sheet, and I put it into this stack of papers to smooth it out and I haven’t touched it since. Someone has deliberately taken it out of there and it sure wasn’t me.”

It had darkened enough that night in late September, that Mother had lit the coal oil lamps and one sat at either end of the old pine table.

Latest natural history series lecture to tackle pesticides and pollinators

MARY From page 8

Enquirer and paste them into her scrap book, and Everett and Earl kept right on doing what they were doing.

Finally, Mother suggested he start at the top of the pile of papers and work his way to the bottom, just in case that particular sheet somehow got tucked into the stack. Emerson said he had done that and the drawing was gone. “Gone, I tell you! Gone!

And when I find out who took it out of this pile (and he pounded the stack again for good measure) he’ll pay dearly.”

The evening was wearing on,

the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) based in southern France. FarmForest Research was established by Dr. Coupland in 1991 in Montpellier, France, and combines a broad technical and practical understanding of agriculture, biology, ecology, and entomology (the study of insects). The core area of the company’s expertise lies in delivering solutions for invasive species of insects and as such, it is a leading authority on Integrated Pest Management including the use of biological control

systems (biopesticides).

Many of our naturally special places are being degraded by pollutants, including pesticides. Our waterways and water pastures, especially, are increasingly threatened by runoff from towns and farms, with pesticides delivering a ‘knock-out blow’ in some of these areas. In Dr. Coupland’s words “Our Naturally Special Places are under threat and the inhabitants therein are especially under threat”.

The talk will focus on the threats to pollinators living within these special places. Pollinators are com-

and my fingers were stiff from holding the needle and the embroidery cotton trying desperately to master the French knot, which as far as I was concerned was a lost cause. I knew I would never be as clever as my sister Audrey, and trying to teach me the fine art of embroidery was a complete waste of her time.

I forced a yawn and asked my sister if we could put the embroidery away, and maybe take a look through the brand new Eaton’s catalogue, which had just come.

It was sitting on the top of the ice box, and this time of year I spent many a happy hour going through the thick catalogue working my

way from the corsets in the front, right through to the cream separators in the back.

Audrey brought it to the table, put it in front of me, and told me to start wherever I wanted.

I decided to flip to the Christmas section...toys...candies... girls’ pretty clothes. Well! What I found, smack in the middle of the catalogue was Emerson’s missing drawing!!! There it was, as large as life. Emerson saw it at the same time. He slapped his forehead, his face turned even redder if that was possible. And in a voice barely heard, admitted to putting it in the middle of Eaton’s catalogue to straighten out the page that had a

corner fold.

Gentle Earl demanded an apology, Everett put a wad of paper wet with spit in his new sling shot and hit Emerson dead on, Father said a swear word in German, Audrey rolled her eyes and Mother closed her scrap book, let out a long sigh, and ordered us all to bed.

Another exciting night at Northcote had come to an end.

Pat Trew – community pillar and recipe guru - remembered Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Pat Trew was her own person.

She lived life to the beat of her own tune; in an unassuming and content manner – all the while getting the job done, without complaints or hesitation.

“She knew what she wanted in life,” said Jeff Trew, her husband of 47 years. “She just went ahead and did things in life. She never shied away from hard work.

She was very focused in that respect.”

Jeff and Pat, who grew up in Smiths Falls, met at Carleton University, where she was living in the women’s dorm and he the men’s. Their first meeting occurred during negotiations for the distribution of laundry funds between their respective associations, of which they both acted as treasurer.

“There was just something about her,” said Jeff. “The Commerce Club used to go out drinking and I remember going out and not enjoying it too much.

I returned home and went for a walk. Pat was out walking too and we coincidently ran into each other. It was a foggy night and she appeared out of the fog. I just knew something was right.”

She was studying journalism at the time, followed by an MA in history. They married in 1968.

“She started working for the federal government in 1969, in a junior position,” said Jeff. “She gradually rose through the ranks.

She worked with the Canada Revenue Agency, where she was a director for a number of years, working closely with the Minister’s office.”

They lived in Ottawa for five years, before buying a parcel of land in Montague in 1975 and building their forever home.

He said Pat was an animal lover and the type of person geared towards giving back.

Over the years, she wore many hats – past president of the Lanark County Community Living Association, the first woman councillor of Montague Township, deputy reeve of Montague Township and member of Lanark County council, member of the Rideau Valley District Health Council, chairperson of the Smiths Falls-Montague Airport Commission, publicist for the Merrickville District Chamber of Commerce and member and treasurer of the Merrickville District Community Health Centre Board of Directors. She was also a small business owner in Merrickville – of Larkspur Line and ‘Harmony,’ a women’s clothing store – and author, publishing two successful cookbooks and a food column for the EMC (now Metroland Media).

“For all the time I knew her, there was never a harsh word,” said Jeff. “She was a very gentle person.”

He said she enjoyed being a councillor – conducting herself always in a way that promoted feminism, without ever setting out to do so.

“She was very thorough and good at assessing situations and finding solutions,” said Jeff. “She treated people fairly.”

Pat left the federal government after suffering a concussion while riding a horse. She began working full-time at the business she started with Jeff, selling model railroad products, and also grew more active in the community.

She, a self-taught cook – with thousands of recipes she developed herself. She shared her recipes, which were respected for their simplicity of ingredi-

Pat Trew ents and personal touch, through a food column she penned for roughly 30 years.

“She did that up until she got sick, about three years ago,” said Jeff, who has meticulously organized records of all her recipes at home. “When I first met Pat, she could boil water and make fudge; that was it. Once she got into cooking, she began experimenting.”

After the first six months of writing her column, The Record News experienced a change of ownership, and Pat’s column was removed, he said.

“There was a public outcry for people who loved her recipes,” said Jeff. “They called her up and asked her if she would start writing her column again.”

In 1984, she put together her first cookbook, titled ‘Doesn’t have to be Gourmet to be Good,’ which sold 22,000 copies. Volume two, which was published two years later, sold 18,000.

“What people liked about her cookbooks was she put in

personal stuff,” said Jeff. “Citing herself, myself or her father.

Cooking tips with a personal flare. People could identify with her.”

Three years ago, in June 2012, Pat and Jeff were given the devastating news that she had stage four lung cancer.

“She was given about eight weeks to live,” said Jeff. “It was a very difficult time for us. Pat has always been a very positive person. She just looked at it as another project. The whole time she was sick, I never heard her complain. It was remarkable.”

Following acceptance to a clinical trial, comparing two drugs’ effectiveness – Tarceva and Afatinib – Pat showed signs of improvement over the next nine months. Her cancer shrunk considerably. Then, a CAT scan revealed her cancer had mutated.

She was dropped from the trial and proceeded with intravenous chemotherapy, which stabilized the cancer.

At the end, Pat’s body had begun to shut down – her mind clouded by a chemical fog, which affected her ability to speak, memory and motor skills.

Eventually, she fell into a coma. Pat passed away peacefully at the Smiths Falls site of

the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital on Sept. 18, at the age of 69.

“I am grateful for the extra time I got with her,” said Jeff.

Gary Doyle, Reeve of Montague Township for 15 years up to 2006, worked closely with Pat during the time she served as deputy reeve.

“She was a very personable individual,” said Doyle. “Excellent to work with.”

Pat always gave 100 per cent, he said.

“She was a gentle person,” said Doyle. “If someone had an issue, she would try to resolve it.

Of course, you can’t solve every problem, but she got everyone an answer.”

Pat was a well-respected member of the community, he noted.

“She was always very prepared at the council table,” said Doyle. “She was never confrontational.”

The council at the time was as progressive as possible, under the circumstances, he commented, and Pat was a big part of that push forward.

“She was dedicated,” said Doyle, who mentioned her time as a food columnist spanning 30 years. “It takes a very special

person to stick with something for 30 years.”

Pat was always a fighter – battling cancer for as long as she did, he reflected.

“She never gave up,” said Doyle.

Heather Wilson served on the Merrickville & District Community Health Centre board with Pat for years.

“She played an incredibly important role in that position,” said Wilson. “She was very competent. It was very reassuring having Pat there to discuss things with.”

Pat had a strong, rational side and a creative, nurturing side, she explained.

“It was certainly a wonderful combination,” said Wilson. “It was wonderful to work with her.

She was very gracious.”

The way Pat supported her community was truly incredible, she noted.

“She was a horse woman,” said Wilson. “When you saw her with a horse…she was the next thing to a horse whisperer.”

Pat was always pleasant to be with, even when faced with stressful situations, she commented.

“She will be missed,” said Wilson.

Kilmainham Jail mirrors dark side of Irish history pendence were once imprisoned within its high, thick walls.

How many executions were carried out there is uncertain due to inaccurate record keeping. Our guide told us more than 120 people are believed to have been executed inside while many more were hanged just outside the prison gates or on “Gallows Hill” close to Kilmainham.

Easter Rising Among those executed inside the jail were some of the key personalities from the Easter Rising of 1916, an event which led to the Irish War of Independence (a guerrilla war fought from 1919-1921).

In 1916, between May 3-12, 14 men convicted for their roles in the Easter Rising, which took place mainly in Dublin City, were executed by firing squad in the prison stone-breaker’s yard.

Our tour guide, a young lady with a wealth of knowledge about the jail and its most famous inmates, pointed to a simple black cross which now marks the place of execution.

In the early 19th century people convicted of murder and robbery with violence were hanged in public from gallows erected in front of Kilmainham.

The last public execution took place in 1865. Many prisoners also died of disease and illness which was rampant due to the dark, dank, crowded conditions the incarcerated were forced to tolerate. There was no heat and in winter the cold, damp Irish winds blew into the small, windowless cells through bars set high in the wall.

The last women to be executed at Kilmainham were 21-year-old Bridget Ennis and Bridget Butterly, 19, servant girls who were hanged in May of 1821 after confessing to the beating death of another young woman. For many years the prison population included a large percentage of women. In 1881 it became an all-male institution.

In the original prison building we were given a first-hand look at the tiny cells, narrow stone passageways and steep stone staircases, worn in the centre following the passage of countless

Kathy and I also read about one particular hanging which, despite the fact the condemned man had confessed to murder, still tugged at our heart strings.

eventually led to independence from Britain, although Northern Ireland remains a province of the UK to this day.

The very last prisoner in Kilmainham was Eamon de Valera who was released in 1924. He later became Taoiseach (Prime Minister) and President of Ireland.

For Kathy and I the worst part of the tour was hearing about the appalling conditions under which prisoners were forced to live. In the old section prisoners were not segregated. Five people were housed in a cell just 28 metres in size. The only light and heat came from a single candle and candles were expected to last two weeks. Women in particular were very poorly treated something that ran counter to the general attitude in Ireland at the time.

Little wonder Kilmainham is often referred to as “Ireland’s Bastille.”

The prison was abandoned for more than 100 years and fell into neglect. In 1960 the volunteer Kilmainham Gaol Restoration Society was formed and preservation efforts began. Voluntary work lasted for 30 years until the jail was handed over to the government in 1986.

Today Kilmainham Gaol stands as a monument to Irish nationalism. It receives large numbers of visitors from around the world. Movie watchers will be interested to know the prison has served as a location for such wellknown films as Michael Collins (starring Liam Neeson as the Irish patriot and revolutionary), In the Name of the Father (starring Daniel Day-Lewis) as well as The Italian Job, The Mackintosh Man and many others.

Kilmainham Gaol provides a mirror to the dark side of Ireland’s very interesting history.

Back at the hotel we met Darren in the lobby. I thanked him for his recommendation.

“Well, look at it this way sir. At least they didn’t keep ya!”

We had just arrived in London from Dublin and as we enjoyed dinner, at what is undoubtedly our favourite restaurant in England, I asked Kathleen what she found most interesting during our week-long stay in the Republic of Ireland.

Kathy didn’t hesitate! “Kilmainham Jail,” she replied.

My wife immediately qualified her answer. “…not the most enjoyable thing we did there. The most interesting.”

I couldn’t possibly disagree.

Something we aim to do on each successive trip to Europe is to see different places and explore more aspects of the countries we visit, with an emphasis on history. Obviously some places are more than worthy of a second look.

There are some experiences or destinations we never tire of repeating.

As we were leaving the hotel on our first full day in Ireland our helpful concierge Darren hailed us.

“So, what are ya doin’ today folks?”

I told him we were taking a hop-on, hop-off bus tour and would pick out some historic places we had not seen during our previous visits to the island.

“Kilmainham Gaol. It’s on the tour.

Don’t miss it,” Darren stressed.

“The history of Ireland is tied up in that place,” he continued. “Ya have to see it.”

Later in the day his words rang in our ears when the driver announced the Kilmainham Gaol stop as the bus circled busy Dublin. The word “Gaol” by the way is an English and Irish variant of the word “jail” or “prison.”

One look at the long queue convinced us to give it a miss, at least that day. For various reasons, including some misinformation and a brief flood which hit the former prison (a broken water main), it was three days before we toured the former prison.

The word “forbidding” seems inadequate when trying to describe the building, a stone structure that resembles a medieval fortress.

Opened in 1796 as the County Gaol for Dublin, Kilmainham has a dark but intriguing history. Everyone from small children caught stealing to the key figures from the struggle for Irish inde-

“The number of people makes it more human than the dollar amount,” McIntosh said. “We are looking at the

lot to bring positive attention to the Town of Smiths Falls.

“Unfortunately, for many years, (the town) has been portrayed negatively because of job losses, factories closing… but this is positive thing today.”

And the Henderson sisters are a huge part of that positive atmosphere shining through.

Fair said the dealership is also a big supporter of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County, which falls under the umbrella of the United Way. When Fair learned that Brooke and Brittany would do a guest appearance, she said she was thrilled.

“Because they are such strong ambassadors for young people, we were thrilled to have them here to support Big Brothers and Big Sisters, (the United Way in general),” Fair said.

By attracting local youth both from town and Lanark County, Fair said kids could then “meet these incredible young ladies…show them what they can do with hard work and having goal in life, they will go far. These two are shining examples of that.”

Fair said they are also great examples of the community getting behind them to show support.

“That’s what I do like about a small town,” she said. “You get to know who everyone is, and when someone is down, somebody else is there to pick you up.”

Fair tries unsuccessfully to keep emotion from her voice when speaking of her father, Mike Fair, who died just eight months ago.

“I keep thinking of my dad, and all that he did for the community,” she said.

“You want to live up to the name ‘Fair’ and be fair to everybody that you can.”

Shortly before her father died, Fair remembered talking to him about their level of involvement with the Hendersons’ Pro-Am golf tournament last spring.

“He said, make sure you do it right,

There is programming from seniors to youth and all folks in between.

He was right.

“It became a huge deal, and I wish he had been there…it would have been nice for him to play with Brooke that day. That was a bonus. I had no idea we’d be golfing with her.”

She said she was feeling the nerves that day last spring when the sisters brought their Canadian women’s tour to their hometown golf course, the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club.

“We had fun…to have a business in this town, you’re very fortunate. I lead a privileged life and I count my blessings every day.”

Fair said she’s committed to supporting the Henderson sisters and their ProAm next year.

“We’re committed to community support and to the charity,” she said.

There’s also a Big Brothers Big Sisters connection for the Fair family.

Fair said she wasn’t involved in programming of Big Brothers Big Sisters growing up, but her younger sister, Wendy Lee, was a big sister.

“Wendy was a big sister for many years…she’s still in touch with her little sister.”

Fair said she didn’t get into it herself, but her sister thoroughly enjoyed the experience of being a big sister.

As part of the meet and greet, in conjunction with General Motors, Mike Fair’s also held its annual Drive for the Cause fundraising event, during which GM contributed $25 for each vehicle test driven, and Fair matched the contribution. The community also had a chance to enjoy a charity barbecue, play some fun golf games, and enter a draw for a trip, all courtesy of the dealership.

For the United Way, the eight-week campaign to kick start their fundraising efforts started with the annual flagraising ceremony at the Lanark County municipal office in Perth last week.

“We’re hoping to raise enough funds this year to support 8,500 people,” said Helen McIntosh, chair of the United Way. “Events like this one at Mike Fair’s is an opportunity to meet some great sports athletes and that’s a good reason

Schedule Kicking off the festival on Thursday, Oct. 15 at 7:30 p.m. is the sponsor appreciation and opening ceremonies in the Baldachin Inn ballroom. Open to all who have tickets or a pass to the festival, Pembroke’s New Orleans Express will be performing and complimentary wine (Joseph’s Estate Winery), beer (Ashton Brewing Company and Steam Whistle Brewery) and hors d’oeuvres provided by the Baldachin, will be on offer.

The first full day of music takes place Friday, Oct. 16 at 3 p.m. with the Carlos Alberto Santana Jazz Trio at St. Ann Catholic Church, followed by the Jazz CO-OP at Merrickville United Church at 4:30 p.m.

At 6 p.m., Steve Berndt featuring Brian Browne on piano, will take over the Baldachin Inn ballroom. Holloway said Browne, who was the ‘artist in residence’ at last year’s jazz fest, has appeared all four years.

“They (Berndt and Browne) are really performing outstandingly in Ottawa right now,” she noted.

At 7:30 p.m., Holy Trinity Anglican Church will be the site for The Tritones, while Angele & the Swingin’ Devils finish up Friday evening at 9 p.m. at the Goose & Gridiron. This group is famed for their jazz interpretations of bands including Led Zeppelin, the Jackson 5 and Marvin Gaye.

The music starts at noon on Saturday, Oct. 17, beginning with a double bill at the Merrickville Community Centre featuring Horizon Quintet and Miguel de Armas Quartet (performing at 1:30 p.m.). A boxed lunch will be available for purchase at the community centre during these performances.

“The acoustics in the community centre are really good and it’s the perfect place for some of our groups to perform,” Holloway commented.

Diane White will be at the Holy Trinity Anglican Church at 3:30 p.m.; followed

by Snaggle at 5:30 p.m. at the Goose & Gridiron.

“Snaggle is six young people from Toronto who are all studying music and they’re getting a lot of attention,” Holloway said. “The thing that’s exciting is that they’re so young and appeal to a new generation.”

Alex Pangman & Her Al-

leycats will perform at the Baldachin Inn ballroom Saturday evening. CBC Radio refers to Toronto’s Pangman as “Canada’s Sweetheart of Swing,”. Doreen Smith Trio closing out the evening downstairs at the Baldachin, in the restaurant, at 9:30 p.m.

The final day, Sunday, Oct. 18, kicks off at the Baldachin Inn Restaurant with Ottawa Valley’s Sax Appeal. St. Ann Catholic Church will be the venue for Terminal Baggage Claim at 1:30 p.m.; and at 3 p.m., Toronto-based modern jazz specialists, the Allison Au Quartet will entertain at the Merrickville United Church.

The Dominique Forest Duo take over the Baldachin Inn Restaurant at 5 p.m. before the final event of the festival, a double bill upstairs in the ballroom. Richard Page’s Night on the Town Band kicks things off at 7 p.m., followed by Toronto-based Fern Lindzon Jazz Trio at 8 p.m.

“Fern is a very classy and sophisticated singer,” Holloway said.

Holloway is particularly excited about the talent to be found in many of the jazz groups this year. “There are several groups that have senior Ottawa jazz musicians in them that we’ve never had before. They are getting together and playing their own compositions together,” she said. “The Jazz CO-OP on Friday night at Richard Page on Sunday night are examples of the composite groups of musicians that are playing all over the place.”

Over the past four years, new sponsorship and added support has allowed the festival to grow, which opened up more doors to attract a wider group of musicians, but that can also present obstacles, which the committee will need to explore further.

“The growth of it (festival) is challenging and we’ll reassess after this year how much we will continue to grow in this way,” Holloway commented. “I think it has value as a local festival...”

“But every year it’s so exciting and as we grow, we have a few more resources,” she continued.

Volunteers have been valuable assets as well and Holloway said more are always needed. “There’s friendliness and hospitality in Merrickville. The volunteers have made a huge difference...they show up and are really enthusiastic,” she said.

Holloway encourages returning and first-time visitors

• Get written estimates from at least three contractors.

• Never accept an estimate over the phone or without the contractor inspecting the area • Remember that good contractors ask a lot of questions so they can understand and plan out the project. For example, in driveway paving, they should ask if any heavy vehicles will be parked on the driveway.

• Don’t go for a deal that sounds too good to be true.

From left: musicians Paul Joyce, Ted Hunt, Alan Temple, Paul Roach and Chris Cook, collectively known as The Shambles, will play rock & roll favourites in support of breast cancer research, with special guest Teresa Scott, Oct. 24 at the Perth legion hall.

The Shambles are coming with great music for great cause Oct. 24 October is breast cancer awareness month, and for Perth-based rock & roll band The Shambles, it’s an opportunity to put their music to work for a cause that really matters.

Saturday, Oct. 24, The Shambles are headlining a dance and silent auction event at the Perth Legion hall, and using the power of Elvis, the Beatles, Roy Orbison, the Eagles and many others to raise funds for breast cancer research. Drummer Paul Roach, bassist Chris Cook, guitarist/keyboardist Alan Temple, guitarist Ted Hunt and singer Paul Joyce, along with guest performer Teresa Scott – well known for her easy listening favourites – will wear out your dancing shoes in support of this great cause.

In addition to raising money for research, Shambles founder Paul Roach says that money raised will also aid Wheels of Hope, another important program that supports breast cancer patients.

“A friend of ours who is a breast cancer survivor told us about the vital work that Wheels of Hope does, providing transportation for cancer patients to medical appointments. It’s neighbours helping neighbours, so money raised for this program will stay right here in our community.”

Connected to Your Community A/CP/K/P/SF - 23 - Thursday, October 8, 2015

Merchants in Perth have rallied behind the musical fundraiser, donating literally thousands of dollars worth of door prizes and silent auction items for the dance, everything from restaurant gift cards to rounds of golf and gift baskets. In all, more than 60 different Perth businesses have joined the cause.

“It’s incredible how many merchants and individuals in our town have embraced this event,” says singer Paul Joyce. “Literally everyone we approached made a donation of products or services, so if you come out on Oct. 24 there’s a great chance you’ll go home with more than just a good feeling!”

Since all aspects of the dance have been donated, including the band and the Legion hall, every penny raised will go to the Perth office of the Canadian Cancer Society.

At just $20 each or $35 per couple, this fundraiser is the hottest ticket in town. Get yours at Tickets Please and Shadowfax in Perth, or call 613-3260218 for tickets and details. And don’t miss a night of music, dancing and prizes with The Shambles and Teresa Scott in support of breast cancer research and the Wheels of Hope program, Saturday, Oct. 24, 8 p.m. at the Perth legion hall.

It’s great music for a great cause.

UCDSB approves 2015 special education plan Trustees approved the 2015 special education plan Sept. 9, a blueprint for how the Upper Canada District School Board will run its special education program this year.

The 51-page plan provides the public with a range of details on everything from how placements are handled to staffing levels, said Valerie Allen, superintendent of program.

Allen told trustees the program will see a slight decrease in staffing to address changes in government funding, but with minimal impact on service to students and their families.

This year, the equivalent of 580 staff (full-time equivalent) will deliver programming including 338 school-based educational assistants, 10 special

education teachers for the Section 23 program, 92 elementary learning resource coaches, 57 secondary learning resource coaches, 10 speech language assistants, and 8 itinerant student support workers.

“The staffing reflected in the report shows minimal impact in the area of school and classroom special education teachers and a consistent level of educational assistant support within our schools,” Allen said.

The report outlines several other aspects of the special education program including: • A board philosophy toward special education that values all students and focuses on early intervention to help struggling students succeed.

• Information about the types

of student issues or “exceptionalities” addressed through the program including learning disabilities, language impairment, and physical disabilities, as well as giftedness.

• The role of the identification, placement and review committee which is responsible for determining if a student is exceptional, the appropriate special education placement, and how parents can appeal a decision should they disagree with it.

• A focus on professional development for special education staff including in-house training under the guidance of learning resource coaches and special education staff, professional conferences, and training related to assistive technology.

(Attention Cheryl) DEADLINE IS THURSDAY BY NOON

A feast is guaranteed at REAL’s local foods harvest dinner REAL is changing up its fifth big fundraising dinner this year, guaranteeing the same fabulous feast of local foods that guests have come to expect.

This year, REAL is partnering with the new Two Rivers Food Hub, its manager and Chef Bruce Enloe (who owns the famous Branch restaurant in Kemptville), the Gallipeau Centre and, of course, many local food suppliers, to present its dinner Saturday, Oct. 17.

Guests at REAL’s dinner have come to rely on having an assortment of appetizers, three options for mains that include one vegetarian, one fairly standard meat and one introduction to something that most people most likely have not tried. “Two years ago we had goat curry, which people absolutely loved, and last year we had bison bourguignon and we had to buy out the last of the bison in eastern Ontario,” said Shawn Merriman, president of REAL. The dinner comes from Lanark and Leeds counties and is gluten-free.

As well as local vegetables, and dessert, the dinner will conclude with its

signature chocolate.

REAL’s last two dinners were held at the Smiths Falls Curling Club and catered by Chef Jo Edwards from The Cove in Westport.

Merriman said, “With the new Food Hub, whose development we have long supported, we had the opportunity to change up a bunch of things for our guests, and to have more guests join us.

Last year, we sold out and couldn’t accommodate any more people. This year we should have enough room.”

Another change is the location. The dinner will be in the Ballroom at the Gallipeau Centre, and guests are being offered the opportunity to take a tour of the Two Rivers Food Hub before going to dinner. Chef Bruce will also step out of the kitchen for 10 minutes to explain to guests why the Food Hub is so important to the development of local food in the region and what makes this Food Hub unique in Ontario.

In the Ballroom, they will be able to enjoy Ontario wines and beers while viewing and bidding on the extensive si-

lent suction. REAL has a wonderful selection of donations from various businesses and individuals in its auction, but it also has some specially selected items that donors have contributed to the REAL Deal Reuse Store over the year.

“Last year, we had some 60 items,” said auction coordinator and REAL Board Director Donna McKenna. This year, the silent auction is being enlarged with more donated services, artwork and hand-made items.

Yet another change this year is in the entertainment. For the past two years, REAL enjoyed a partnership with the Smiths Falls Community Theatre that put on a dinner theatre mystery. This year, REAL will feature some musicians throughout the evening.

This event is REAL’s largest fundraiser of the year. The 26-year-old organization relies on the funds raised through its dinner and sponsorships to fund all those background expenses like insurance, phones, internet and utilities that any organization needs these days.

Thirty local businesses and individu-

als have regularly sponsored REAL’s dinner in the past and the organization hopes they will again this year. If you would like to donate an item to the Silent Auction, contact Donna at 613-2832254 or The REAL Deal Reuse Store at 613-283-7999.

Tickets are $60, payable by cash or cheque, and are available at The REAL Deal Reuse Store, at Modern Thymes

Celebrating a milestone birthday drives home that timing is everything Timing is everything. Those of our clan who could gathered, from hours in multiple directions away this week in celebration of my dear mother’s 90th birthday at my folks place outside Orillia, how ironic the day before, a US federal judge ruled the song ‘Happy Birthday to You’ is of the public domain, and, that Warner/Chappell, who’ve been reaping millions each year selling its use since they acquired the rights in 1988 should never have been doing so.

Even more ironic was the variety of ways this infamous song was sung to mom a day later, as if the “freeing” of the ‘Happy Birthday’ song was being exercised and celebrated too. Like when my kids were growing up and computers, the Internet, cell phones and global visual communications were their norm, for my mom, phone technology had just always been part of her life. Mom grew up always having a phone, even on their Bruce Peninsula farm and, with family spread around the province and the US, phones were vital to keep the clan connected. Back then, in the late ‘20s and ‘30s, the new fangled contraption (the phone) started to ‘shrink’ our world, incredibly speeding up communication from person to person, a marvel back then, just like today’s cell phones are for me. Previous to phones in my mother’s day, those connections were maintained much slower by letters, the then schooltaught penmanship lessons as proof of their importance. Folks had the oppor-

tunity to show their creativity via the flourishing verbiage of hand-written letters, delivered world-wide, often taking extended periods of time for delivery.

Good and bad news came via letters, then later telephone wires, just like now.

Two groups of people made good use of this “dated” technology to wish my Mom greetings on her special day.

One of Perth’s local institutions, a downtown gathering place of sorts, where “soles” are saved, infinite fibs and fact-filled stories are shared – you know, one of those places you invariably feel cheerier leaving than when you went in – has carried on a tradition of sorts, making me mom feel pretty special, via the infamous phone.

About ten years ago, the sweet souls who work “saving soles” had occasion to meet my mom when I took her into their inner hearth while she was visiting.

Since then, the jovial ringleader, Dennis Marks and staff of Mark’s Cobbler Shop have occasionally, over the years since, called, got mom on her home phone and, via a choir of whomever is lucky enough to be in the store or in their ‘hot stove lounge’, would chant the now legally ‘free’ song, Happy Birthday. Each time they did so, it touched my mom that these kind people of Perth would take time out of their busy days to sing to her the most world-widely familiar, four-line stanza on her birthday.

This week though, while I was away at my folks, one of my cronies went in on

the day to ask them to, yet again, bestow their harmonious chorus in celebration of her 90 but, alas, was presented with a potential impasse in that choir director Dennis was not there. Luckily, when staff heard who it was for, they remembered the joy of singing to her before so took it upon themselves to phone Dennis at home. Being the great lad he is, he phoned mom directly and, joined by his far better half Margaret, maintained the tradition and serenaded mom beautifully to her appreciative ears. His actions also made this scribe feel a huge sense of gratitude fill his heart as one of those unheralded, yet vital parts of his adopted hometown’s inner sanctum would honour him by repeatedly regaling special greetings on his mom. I felt accepted and humbled to have the great friends who care.

Thanks to my far better half’s coordination back in Perth, mom also was serenaded by phone when the Wednesday Jam gang from O’Reilly’s Ale House hosted by Dave Balfour; with Jamey Campbell, the incredible fiddle of Johnny Richard, Joe Skuce on drums

and the whole room adding to the mix sang yet again that magic song. What an awesome sound that came through the phone to again, left both my mother and I feeling pretty special.

As I started by saying, timing is everything and old technology, combined with caring friends made a 90-year young mom feel pretty good.

MOVIE: The Intern STARRING: Anne Hathaway, Robert De Niro, Rene Russo, Anders Holm, Zach Pearlman, Christina Scherer, and Adam Devine DIRECTOR: Nancy Meyres RATING: PG Films like The Intern are like good comfort food. They’re soft and warm. They’re great to share with someone, and in the end they leave you with that good warm feeling.

Ben (Robert De Niro) is a 70-year-old widower. He’s a retiree that has run out of things to do. He wants and he needs something meaningful to keep him busy. Then one day he sees a flier for an internet company looking for senior interns. Apparently it’s the latest thing. Why have a young intern who doesn’t know anything when you can get a senior with a wealth of life experience?

Actually that makes a lot of sense.

Ben sends in his video application. He aces the interview, and he gets hired. Ben impresses everyone so much he ends up working directly with the boss. Jules (Anne Hathaway) started the company, and is very hands-on. She looks after

My Take

Mark haskins

everything, but she’s so busy she’s having trouble staying on top of it all. Currently her investors are wondering if she needs to hire a CEO to shoulder some of the load. That would mean the new CEO would effectively be Jules’ boss.

This is not an easy choice for Jules. Her marriage and family are suffering because of her work, but this is her company.

No one can do what she does.

Fortunately she has Ben. Ben, with his strength of character, and the wisdom that comes from a life lived, becomes the calm at the centre of Jules’ storm.

He becomes her friend when she needs one the most.

The Intern is a pure delight.

This is a quiet film about how old school charm and class has more than a few things to teach a younger generation. It’s beautifully written. It’s funny, and it’s emotional, but it very carefully paces itself. The hu-

mour keeps you smiling. The emotional scenes touch you deeply, but are never a matter of life and death. This is a light film, and is even more enjoyable because of that.

The Intern relies heavily on the charm of its cast. Rene Russo, Anders Holm, Zach Pearlman, Christina Scherer, and Adam Devine are a great supporting cast.

They’re funny when they need to be, they’re serious when it matters, but most of all they make the two leads look good.

Truthfully though this film is nothing without its two lead stars. If this film stared anyone other than Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro I’m not sure anyone would even know The Intern exists.

It’s a fine film, but it’s the interaction between Hathaway and De Niro that is the real draw. They’re the kind of actors who can be in anything and make it shine, and together they’re brilliant.

The Intern is a light, funny and touching film. The perfect thing to see on a dreary, cold fall day.

Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

There are a number of things to consider when buying winter tires Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

ers avoid equipping their winter tire/rim packages with tire pressure sensors due to costs. But consider that your factory tire pressure sensing system is a safety system. You can save money by bypassing your vehicle manufacturer and going with the original maker of just about every tire pressure sensor on the planet, Schrader. Schrader sensors can range in price from $30-$60 each for most mainstream vehicles.

Don’t forget about insurance discounts: Many drivers balk at the cost of winter tires but if you drive on snow tires you’re saving the wear on your summer units. When you factor in insurance premium discounts for winter tire use (and several of the big firms offer them) there really isn’t any extra cost for winter tires but there is a wealth of improved driving safety.

Be wary of advertised specials: The biggest tire sale special is the ‘Buy 3 Get 1 Free’ deal. But often the fine print tells you that you must pay MSRP for those three tires or that certain sizes or manufacturers are excluded. Most tire retailers put a lower mark-up on tires compared to other automotive parts and often their regular price for four is cheaper than MSRP for three. And there are no restrictions.

Consider tire storage: Many shops offer seasonal tire storage at reasonable rates. They do this because it brings you and your auto back to their store season after season. When you consider that the average mounted passenger or light truck tire can weigh in excess of 70 lb. each (not to mention the space they take up in your garage or basement), you may want to take them up on the offer.

Don’t forget about buying used: Almost every time a consumer buys a new or newer vehicle, they find that the winter tire/rim package they had for their old one won’t fit their new ride. That’s why online classified ads are filled with

Like death and taxes, the approach of winter brings a third inevitability: snow-covered roads. Thankfully a large portion of our driving population has realized the necessity of winter tires, making everyone’s commute that much safer. As for the rest, well that’s what ditches and tow trucks are for. But buying winter tires doesn’t necessarily have to mean breaking the bank.

Optional tire sizing: If your ride is equipped with 18” or larger tires (or has low profile tires) you can be excused for reaching for some heart medication when you get a quote for winter tires. These increasingly popular larger tires can be very expensive to buy, but in many cases there are alternatives.

Check with your local retailer regarding the option of moving down to a smaller tire. Many models with large wheels can accommodate smaller rims and tires but it’s important to check before you buy to avoid the headache of finding out after the fact that the rims won’t fit.

The second benefit for a smaller tire is a narrower tread face. Most original equipment larger diameter tires have equally wide treads. These are great for summer driving on dry pavement, but in snow or slush they become skis providing precious little traction.

Winter rims: If you don’t have a separate set of winter rims you’re faced with the cost of dismounting the summer tires and remounting and balancing the winters twice a year. The average price on this is around $20 each wheel or $160 per year. It also brings the risk of damage to both the rim and tire. With a set of winter rims you’re only looking at the equivalent cost of a tire rotation twice a year for about $50 total. So you can save more than $100 each year with winter rims and eliminate the risk of damaging your summer alloy wheels (not to mention saving them from salt pitting).

When looking for winter rims, avoid multi-fit units that are designed to fit several different vehicles. Many universal-fit rims require spacer-plates or hubrings to make them mount properly and often require the use of special wheel nuts. A direct-fit or hub-centric rim often costs only a few dollars more and can avoid a lot of headaches and costs.

Tire pressure sensors: Many consum-

Darlene Robinson of Fall River, Nova Scotia, writes: “Hi Bill. My husband Greg has a Canadian-built 1935 Dodge Brothers pickup truck and we were wondering if you know of any other Canadian-built Dodge Brothers vehicles of this era still existing in Canada?”

I replied by saying the best way to find out if any other vehicles like theirs are still around is to send me the story of theirs.

I will run it in my column and invite our readers to contact us if they have or know of any similar vehicles.

The very next day, they sent me the story of their truck: “Bill: We are sending a picture of what the truck looked like two years ago when we bought it but it has since been dismantled for restoration. We bought the truck from its second owner, a relative of the original owner in Cape Breton.

“It was only later that we discovered it was built in Windsor, #214 of 460 produced that year. It is a half-year model, a first series produced for only a few months with suicide doors (opening from the front). The truck was bought new in Sydney, Nova Scotia, and stayed on Cape Breton Island. The original owner used it as a company vehicle for installing telephone lines when roads on the northern part of the Cabot Trail were being built.

“We have the 1939 permit for the truck along with the original owner’s 1939 driver’s licence and a Dodge Broth-

ers (Canada) Limited original owner’s manual. We know the truck is rare and special, maybe one of a kind.”

While we wait for readers to respond, let’s look at the two brothers who started it all.

John and Horace Dodge began as early as 1900 in Windsor, Ontario, by supplying car companies with engines and other parts. They moved to Detroit in 1901 and one of their biggest customers was Henry Ford!

In November 1914, the Dodge brothers began building rugged and reliable Dodge

Brothers cars (the name was shortened to Dodge after 1938).

The brothers became very wealthy, but right at the peak of their fame, they both died within a few months of each another in 1920. Eight years later, Walter Chrysler bought the Dodge Company, still part of Chrysler today.

I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, P.O. Box 255, 25 John Street, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2.

Everyone whose story is published in my column receives a free autographed copy of my book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

Kemptville resident pens book about betrayal of Canadian soldiers Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Betrayal is liken to being deemed disposable.

Living the stark reality of captivity and torture is something most Canadians know nothing about, having been born to freedom, won for them by past generations.

For Ken Ewing, a Prisoner of War in Hong Kong for three and a half years and resident of Burritts Rapids prior to his death in 2012, it was something he knew all too well.

Terry Meagher, author of ‘Betrayal: Canadian Soldiers Hong Kong 1941,’ said his friendship with Ewing inspired him to uncover the truth about what really happened in Hong Kong.

Canadian soldiers were betrayed twice during the war fought in Hong Kong, according to Meagher. First by their own government, who failed to do their due diligence. Second by the British, who blamed the Canadians for the failure in Hong Kong – citing a substandard performance.

Excerpt from ‘Betrayal’: Major General Arthur Grassett, on his way to England via Canada from Hong Kong, dropped in on his old buddy, Major General Harry Crerar, Chief of General Staff in Ottawa. The two old comrades reminisced about Upper Canada College and Royal Military College. But the conversation degenerated to a request for favours. Grassett asked for one battalion, maybe two battalions of Canadian infantry for the garrison on Hong Kong Island, which was not a colony but a possession “for profit” about which the average Canadian knew little. …General Harry Crerar understood

the hopelessness of holding Hong Kong, having studied its untenable position in the 1930’s at Imperial Defence College.

Later on in the book (pg. 123), it states that Crerar was ordered back to Canada in 1942 to appear before the Royal Commission investigating the disaster in Hong Kong, but senior commanders for both Britain and Canada refused and kept him in England. He was excused from testifying or even appearing; answering questions by memo instead and never facing cross-examination.

After more than two years of research, interviewing and writing, Meagher published his book at the end of September.

He said there are 28 Hong Kong veterans still alive today; three of whom were interviewed for the book.

“Ken is one of the main narrators,” said Meagher, who said Ewing was one of the finest people he ever knew. “The combat scenes are very realistic; not fake stuff with melodramatic words.”

Eleven years after Hong Kong, Meagher served as a rifleman in Korea (1952-1953).

“We talked about our experiences, which were very similar,” said Meagher.

“What the mortar bombs sounded like; how it flutters, loses its thrust and comes down on top of you. Soldier to soldier.”

Roughly 1,873 Canadian soldiers were sent to Hong Kong – 292 were killed within 17 days and 267 perished in POW camps over the following three and a half years.

“More Canadian soldiers were killed in Hong Kong than on D-Day (Normandy, 1944),” said Meagher.

He said when he first started looking into the war, he knew something didn’t add up.

“Substandard performance; It didn’t

sound like a Canadian regiment to me,” said Meagher. “All Canadian Soldiers have the same code – courage. The British stole the regiment’s honour when they blamed the Canadians. That’s how a soldier would look at it.”

He recruited Major-General (retired) Ivan Fenton, Lieutenant-Colonel (Retired) Nick Ward and Major (retired) Bill Wiseman of Spencerville to analyze the tactics used during the war in Hong Kong.

“Our job was to determine whether the Canadians really did have a substandard performance in Hong Kong,” said Meagher.

Excerpt: It is possible to lay huge blame – perhaps all the blame – on higher levels of leaders than on the commander of the defence. Strategic decisions made before the battle, such as the role Hong Kong was supposed to play in diplomacy and deterrence, set the stage for a token defence or ‘forlorn hope’ operation, which was given no mandate for success other than to buy an arbitrary amount of time.

Given the mission, geography and resources, could a better defence have been mounted? In a word, yes. (Fenton).

He looked at all the regiments present in Hong Kong at the time; Chinese, British, Formosan and Indian – comparing them to the Canadian regiments.

Excerpt: The combat burden fell upon the Rifles who launched more company and platoon level attacks and counterattacks than all non-Canadian Imperial infantry troops combined, a feat the Grenadiers almost matched. On the field of battle, Canadians showed conspicuous bravery. (Wiseman).

Police services in spotlight From the front

“To complete this objective, in 2011, the North Grenville Police Services Board launched a municipal-wide community policing survey. The two-page survey was designed to provide all residents the opportunity to have input into establishing local objectives and priorities for police services in the community,” he said.

He explained the survey was anonymous and only asked residents to state their age and whether they lived in an urban area, rural area or rural subdivision.

“This survey was very successful,” said Sherritt, who explained the data provided also allowed the NGPSB to develop a relevant business plan for the community. “I think it should also be noted we are one of only a few police service boards who have our own business plan, rather than just adopting the OPP business plan at face value, and the reason we did that was to reflect the local flavour of the community.”

He explained the NGPSB business plan also provides an instrument to manage the police service contract between the municipality and the OPP. He said the complete business plan can be found at www.northgrenville.ca/PoliceServices.cfm.

idents of North Grenville with a voice, in establishing what police services programs will be beneficial to the community,” said Sherritt. “The results of this survey will be used to renew our business plan.”

He explained the 2015 survey will follow the same format as the 2011 survey.

The survey is broken down into three parts; a section to rank your top seven priorities for police services in the community (i.e. reduce impaired driving, police presence in your neighbourhood and reduce child exploitation and other internet fraud), a section to determine demographics (age, where you live) and a final section asking people to indicate the importance of certain police services (i.e. crime prevention programs, increasing awareness of bullying and drug awareness programs in schools.) There is also a section for additional comments.

“To ensure all residents have an opportunity to be heard, the North Grenville Police Services Board will be using Canada Post,” said Sherritt.

“We will be mailing a copy of the survey to every residence and business in North Grenville and that mail-out should go out sometime next week (beginning Monday Oct. 5).”

He explained, copies of the completed survey can be dropped off at the North Grenville Municipal Centre, the North Grenville Public Library, the Burritts Rapids Library and 9 to 10 a.m.

stated. “I never take the people of this riding for granted.”

Although the economy is the top priority, Brown noted that he has been hearing from many constituents about safety and security issues. The Conservatives have delivered on issues such as safe communities and security on the world stage, according to the Leeds-Grenville MP. Brown also noted that the government delivered on its promise to eliminate the gun registry.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper visited Gananoque on Brown’s 55th birthday last month, and former federal cabinet minister John Baird was at Brown’s campaign office opening in Brockville recently.

The leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives, Patrick Brown, was in Brockville on Saturday and joined the local Conservative candidate and former federal caucus colleague as they knocked on doors together in the north end of the city. Also running in the Oct. 19 federal election in Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes are Margaret Andrade of the New Democrats, Mary Jean McFall of the Liberals and Lorraine Rekmans of the Green party.

Police were able to locate the male and it was determined he was using the knife to remove posters in the community. At approximately 10:30 a.m., the hold and secure was removed.

Job creation and the economy have always been the biggest issues, according to Gord Brown.

The Conservative candidate in Leeds-GrenvilleThousand Islands and Rideau Lakes is seeking re-election to the House of Commons on Oct. 19.

Brown was first elected MP of Leeds-Grenville in 2004 and was re-elected in 2006, 2008 and 2011.

The riding’s name change takes effect as part of the current election.

“Leadership That Delivers” has been the theme of Brown’s campaign. The candidate indicated that he is proud of his record and that of the government. Brown said that he has been fighting for infrastructure and economic development funding for Leeds-Grenville. Those efforts have paid off with significant federal investments, which include the Port of Johnstown and waste-water plants in the riding. Brown said he worked diligently to ensure the Aquatarium in Brockville received its share of federal funding.

The Conservative candidate noted he has been “the biggest advocate” of the Eastern Ontario Development Program, which is administered by community futures development programs throughout the region. Brown is also proud of his role in securing a long-term funding commitment for the program that has had a significant positive impact on the riding and the region as a whole.

The Conservative government has cut taxes to their lowest level in 50 years. Measures that include lowering the GST and adding tax credits have enabled Canadians to keep more of their money and have resulted in many people coming off the tax rolls altogether.

Brown acknowledged that the government of which he has been a member has had to make tough choices over the course of the last nine years or so in order to keep the country on the right track.

“You have to make decisions that are not necessarily popular,” he commented.

Brown, 55, said that he is encouraged by the feedback he has been receiving during the campaign. “I’m finding a very positive response,” he

Staff provide answers to OMCA questions Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Mark Guy, director of Parks, Recreation and Culture in North Grenville, answered the questions submitted by the Oxford Mills Community Association on Sept. 21, pertaining to the sale of Maplewood Hall in Oxford Mills.

“The first question was, ‘Why was the Expression of Interest from the OMCA not included in the report tabled on Sept. 21? It was never made public,’” Guy read.

He explained the report contained the power point presentation from the OMCA, rather than the EOI. “Council members did receive the OMCA Expression of Interest at the April 7 committee of the whole,” said Guy. He said the second question was relative to the revenue generated at Maplewood Hall. “Is it now reasonable for the municipality to run the hall at a loss and have the citizens of North Grenville cover future capital costs?” read Guy. “The answer is there was an error made in the report tabled at the committee of the whole on Sept. 21, that municipal revenue for Maplewood Hall was on par with the OMCA’s revenue for rentals, as identified in their Expression of Interest,” said Guy. “Revenue information in the report was taken from the municipal budget. These amounts were actual payments made to the municipality by the OMCA, up to Aug. 2013, to the capital reserve accounts. Please note, part of the average indicated in the report does not take into account the municipal revenue from rentals for the period Sept. 2013 to Dec. 2013, which was approximately $517.”

He explained part of the North Grenville Strategic Plan, developed in 2013 and adopted by council, the Parks, Recreation and Culture Department has been tasked to develop a long-term plan for recreation and leisure that examines current programs and focuses on the changing needs and demographics of the community.

“This could result in the municipality undertak-

ing a Recreation Master Plan study in 2016,” said Guy. “As part of this study, we would meet with community groups and associations to assist in determining long and short-term recreation needs.”

He said Maplewood Hall would certainly be considered a hub for offering new programs and services to the rural area of North Grenville.

“The municipality does strive to recover all costs associated with running facilities,” said Guy. “The strategic plan will assist us in reaching this target, along with increasing the number of users at Maplewood Hall.”

He read the last question; ‘who can best serve the needs of the community (OMCA or municipality), in terms of affordable rental rates and dedicating the resources needed to maintain the building?’

“The answer – the question of affordable rental rates is debateable,” said Guy, who explained the municipality owns the building, carries the liability and insurance and the cost of maintaining the facility. “These costs must factor into rental rates.”

He said when comparing rental costs with neighbouring community halls, such as the Burritts Rapids Community Association Hall, Maplewood Hall rates are on par. “Lastly, the municipality has dedicated staff with tremendous experience for the upkeep of facilities and are familiar with municipal standards for public rentals,” said Guy. “Regular inspections are performed. The municipality has received a number of emails complimenting us on the standards of our facilities.”

Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin said. “I am a member of the Oxford Mils Community Association. I’ve been attending all the meetings, as I was trying to be a link with them for council.”

Coun. Jim Bertram once again tried to put forth an amendment to separate out the four facilities in the report (Armoury, Court House, Old Oxford Mills Town Hall and Maplewood) into four resolutions. He attempted to do so at the Committee of the Whole on Sept. 21. The amendment was not seconded by any member of council present. It was struck down. The resolution was passed.

He said the municipality was directed to work with the local Grenville Community Futures Development Corporation, for alternative sources of funding.

“This particular process was initiated today, with our application, and supporting documentation,” said Carre.

Over $3,000 raised by Food Grains Market

This includes providing emergency food for people who are hungry because of things like war, drought, and unfair international trade policies. Food Grains Market is appreciative for those who planted an extra row or two, baked goodies, made jams and pickles and of course those of who came on a Saturday mornings and bought what was offered. A special thank you to the quiet leader of the garden, Sue Hiltz, who has lead the group from spring to fall for many years now.

Local man competes in Spartan Race World Championship Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Ryan Dawson believes spirituality and Spartan racing go hand-in-hand.

The 46-year-old pastor of Sequoia Church and resident of Kemptville competed in the elite class at the Spartan Race World Championships in Lake Tahoe, on Oct. 3. “Spartan racing is like cross country running on steroids,� said Dawson.

He explained you know the distance, but not the obstacles you will face, going into each race. The races range from the beast (25 km), the super (12 to 15 km) and the sprint (5 to 7 km). “I got into it four years ago,� said Dawson. “I was looking for something new. You get tired of just going to the gym. A friend of mine asked if I would be interested in trying out Spartan racing.�

He checked out some of the videos online and was intrigued by the diversity of obstacles, including rope climbs, tire flips, fire jumps, javelin throws and log carries. The penalty for not completing an obstacle is 30 burpees (up-downs) before continuing the race. In order to train, he built an obstacle course at his home. “Our own little playground,� said Dawson. “It’s a lot of fun.�

War Amps celebrates 40th anniversary

A local champ celebrated the 40th anniversary of War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program. Six-year-old Brianna Auger, of Kemptville, has returned from The War Amps 2015 Ontario Child Amputee (CHAMP) Seminar in Ottawa, which brought together young amputees from across the province. This year marks the 40th anniversary of CHAMP, which has provided generations of child amputees with financial assistance for artificial limbs, regional seminars and peer support. Auger, born a right arm amputee, attended the three-day seminar with her mother where they learned about the latest developments in artificial limbs, dealing with teasing and bullying and parenting an amputee child. CHAMP is funded through public support of The War Amps Key Tag and Address Label Service. For more information, call 1-800-2503030 or visit waramps.ca.

Merrickville wier rehabilitation Parks Canada is undertaking rehabilitation work on the Merrickville Weir in the municipality of Merrickville-Wolford.

This project will involve rehabilitating the concrete on the pier and abutments of the Weir which have experienced deterioration downstream of the stoplogs and gate. The contractor, Lariviere Construction Ontario Ltd, began mobilizing on site on Oct. 5. Construction is expected to begin on Oct.

19, following the closure of the navigation season and the achievement of normal winter levels. Rehabilitation work is anticipated to take eight weeks. No impacts to vehicular or pedestrian traffic are expected during construction.

Municipality seeks budget input The Municipality of North Grenville is preparing for the 2016 budget and the process has been changed this year so that residents and special interest groups are able to submit proposals for consideration early in the process. In preparation for the budget discussions to follow, council invites proposals by residents and special interest groups who wish to see a specific project advanced by the municipality in the upcoming budget year. Proposals should be provided in writing to treasurer Sheila Kehoe by Friday, Oct. 23. In addition to the regular council and committee of the whole meetings, there will be additional public budget meetings scheduled. During these meetings, council will discuss the

proposals from residents and special interest groups and the operations and capital projects for all departments. As well, there will be budget presentations from the North Grenville Library Board and North Grenville Accessible Transportation. This process is intended to provide a transparent and open opportunity for the community to work with council to integrate the principles of the strategic plan and set important and affordable priorities for the 2016 budget year.

Information on the budget development, including public budget meeting dates and copies of draft budgets, will be posted on the municipal website and advertised in the local media throughout the process.

Faced with a medical decision, patients normally allow their doctor to decide on treatment, assuming he or she “always knows best”.

But “Consumer Report on Health” claims that this approach rarely works anymore. Doctors simply are unable to keep up with the flood of new information on medical therapy.

Consequently, some medical decisions must be based on the patient’s priorities, not just the doctor’s. This process might even decrease the cost of medical care.

Often the problem is communication. For instance, a study of 1,057 doctor/ patient visits, including 3,552 clinical decisions, found that only 9 percent provided the patient with enough information to make an informed choice!

So how do you figure out what is best for you? Potential traps are the now common operations of cataract surgery, and knee or hip replacement. Remember, these elective procedures should only be done when the physical condition affects your quality of life by inability to function. Not when the surgeon says, “I can fit you in.”

It’s also been reported that about one in seven women who have a hysterectomy don’t need the operation. So, ask if there are other procedures such as endometrial ablation that either remove fibroids or remove the lining of the uterus to decrease excessive bleeding.

Be cautious about long-term therapy such as the treatment of hypertension. Rather than submit yourself to a lifetime of prescription drugs, ask how lifestyle changes such as losing weight and exercise can be helpful. Taking a magnesium pill or a powder such as MagSense can relax arteries, decreasing blood pressure. So does the natural remedy Neo40 which, by increasing the production of nitric oxide, also relaxes arteries, thus decreasing hypertension. In addition, studies show that high doses of vitamin C and lysine will slowly remove atherosclerosis from arteries, a main cause of high blood pressure.

Your Health Food Store will inform you of the various choices available.

Screening tests also cost our health care system billions of dollars annually. Some are of questionable benefit and may cause unintended complications. One study showed that 40 percent of checkups involved tests which were unproven. For instance, if you don’t have a family history of heart disease or coronary symptoms there’s no need for a stress test. Some authorities also believe the PSA test to diagnose prostate cancer should never to be done as it causes more complications than it saves lives. And women in their forties should discuss the pros and cons of mammography before agreeing to one.

Every year a large numbers of MRI’s are performed for low back pain. But they are not needed unless the procedure is required for a treatment decision. It’s well known that an MRI may show a disk problem, but it may not be the cause of the pain. Many patients have this abnormality without back pain.

Besides, most back pain subsides without any treatment.

90 percent of hernias occur in men but how many require surgery? For years it’s been standard practice to operate to avoid bowel obstruction. But a study which followed several thousand men for several years discovered that, contrary to medical opinion, only one percent per year suffered from this complication.

Of course you must always ask your doctor, “What happens if I decide against treatment?” For instance, an 80 year old man with early prostate cancer may live another 15 years without treatment. In the interim he may die of something else. He may also decide that he does not want to take the risk of surgery and end up in diapers.

For women with early breast cancer a “lumpectomy” may be an option rather than complete removal of the breast. Some however, feel more assured if the entire breast is removed.

The main point is to be an informed patient so there are no surprises.

Michael Barry, Professor of Medicine at The Harvard Medical School studied 2,600 adults age 40 and older who faced decisions about surgery, medicine and screening tests. He reports that their level of knowledge was low. Many did not even know why they were undergoing a specific procedure. R0023477900_1008

Appointing representatives

A

s many of you have probably already read, Councillor Tim Sutton resigned on Sept. 28.

The Municipal Act, as previously reported, outlines there are two options for council to pursue. They can hold a by-election or appoint someone to council.

As a freedom loving, democratic minded individual, my immediate opinion was to hold an election. After all, we as Canadians, are entitled to selecting our own representatives. Having one appointed for us undermines democracy itself.

Then I got to thinking how much an election would cost…money is tight. Look no further than our recent tax hike of 6.8 per cent as proof.

Spending funds on an election seems pointless, considering we had one less than a year ago. People already voted.

So, the only other option is to appoint.

Here’s what I think should happen – the runnerup for councillor in the recent election should be appointed. Council shouldn’t have a choice in the matter, nor should additional funds be doled out.

Deron Johnston was the runner-up, tallying fifth in votes during the last municipal election – narrowly beaten by Coun. Jim Bertram.

He should be appointed. Simple as that.

I am not friends with Deron Johnston, despite our Facebook affiliation. I have no personal interest in his appointment whatsoever. I just think this path makes the most sense. Simple. Easy. Democratic.

Unfortunately, my opinion doesn’t really matter. Council makes the decisions. However, coun-

I

t was a very difficult decision to give up our beautiful Belgian horse, Misty. She wasn’t a trained horse, but we were absolutely positive she had untapped skills and just needed the chance to display them.

Unfortunately, the Farmer and I were completely ill-equipped to discover, train or utilize those skills.

Having a horse is a huge responsibility.

We considered ourselves lucky to have gone through six years without any major medical bills or disasters.

But it was time to find a new home for our 1800-lb pet. She needed to find out what it means to be a workhorse.

Traipsing around the meadow all day after a mischievous donkey had to be boring at times.

For over two years we fiddled with the idea. We put an ad on one website or another, and didn’t renew them when they expired. I put posts on Facebook saying Misty was looking for a new home, and as soon as I got a response I took the offer away.

Finally, on St. Patrick’s Day 2014, the Farmer got a call from Roy Sherrer, who raises Belgian horses on a farm near Spencerville. He knew Misty well.

Just like that, she was sold. I blame it on

JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION

cil does have the responsibility to take citizen’s opinions into account.

Therefore I feel conveying this logical solution to council is in all of our best interests. Get on the computer, email the mayor or the other councillors – tell them what you want to see happen.

Politicians really do take into account what people think. We all have a voice and the power to initiate change by using it.

It’s time for people to get more involved in the decision-making process in the community. If you just sit there and read about what council does, then what’s the point of living in a democracy?

What’s the point of me writing about all that happens at council if no one ever acts on the knowledge I provide?

Here’s your chance to effect change.

On Oct. 6, the Committee of the Whole recommended to council to initiate the appointment process, which involves applications and interviews for candidates selected by council. The criteria of those chosen for an interview will also be determined by council.

Now is the time to speak up. The final vote is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 13, at the regular council meeting.

A place for reflection and quiet summer afternoons along the Rideau Canal in Merrickville..

Why, it’s Misty the horse, of course The Accidental Farmwife Diana Fisher

the Guinness.

Within a few weeks, Roy had Misty hitched up with another horse and pulling a wagon. We were surprised but oh so happy to hear that she was learning to be a horse.

And then, once trained, Misty was sold. To a farmer in Quebec. Roy came over to get us to sign some papers and he asked us how many times she had been hitched before.

The answer was, well, never. Misty had been hitched once for a photo opportunity, at her original farm. But we hadn’t put as much as a saddle on her.

He said she learned within just a few hours, to follow the lead of her hitch partner, and pull. We were very proud.

Roy said Misty’s new owner was going to take her to the International Plowing Match in September. I started

to think about how I would find out when Misty was competing, so I could attend. I imagined the Farmer and me, in our plaid shirts, cowboy boots and jeans, Misty’s own cheering section.

Then, out of the blue, I got a message from a friend who had an almost unbelievable story. My uncle and his partner Christiane used to enjoy their visits to the farm, and Misty. Christiane was visiting her mother in Val des Monts Quebec recently when she heard a familiar snort from the farm next door. She walked over to take a closer look and couldn’t believe what she saw.

“Misty!”

The red-gold horse responded to her name. Christiane checked in with the elderly farmer who had just added the horse to his team and he confirmed her name and origin.

Christiane gave me some more info about Misty’s new home. Her owner hitches his team to wagons and sleighs in the winter, complete with jingle bells, and takes families for rides in the village.

He has a beautiful spot in the valley and she will be very happy there.

I felt much better, knowing where she was. I know I need to let her go and it’s all quite silly to be concerned for her

happiness but it’s nice to hear she found a good home.

Next, I received an email from the granddaughter of Misty’s new owner.

Sarah explained that her father didn’t speak much English, so she would be our go-between.

She told me Misty wouldn’t be going to the plowing match. Apparently she didn’t get along with her new hitch partner, so they were back to square one.

Well that was disappointing.

I told her Misty is used to following, not leading. She followed her sister around from the day she was born. And when her sister died, she turned around and there was Donkey.

I’m sure they know Misty’s character by now, but I thought I would add my two cents. Hopefully they will give her another chance.

I think Misty would really enjoy being part of the Christmas celebration in the little Quebec village, jingle bells on her halter, pulling a sleigh.

She always loved the attention of people, and the excitement of the crowd.

I hope she gets her act together and if they don’t have a strong lead horse, she might consider being one herself. theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com dianafisher1@gmail.com

Bayfield Manor sold

COW recommends appointment process to council

Staff

The Committee of the Whole recommended to council to initiate the appointment process for filling the vacant councillor position following Tim Sutton’s resignation on Sept. 28. The choice between holding a by-election and the appointment process, outlined in the Municipal Act, was discussed at length on Oct. 5. A number of residents went before the Committee of the Whole and spoke out against the recommendation, stating the process was undemocratic.

Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin, Councillor Frank Onasanya and Mayor David Gordon were all in favour of the option, which involves an open application process for any resident of North Grenville over the age of 18. Applicants would need to provide council a resume and cover letter, from which council could select final candidates for an interview.

It was also stated the candidates from the 2014 election would be guaranteed an interview. The clerk, Cahl Pominville, recommended a submission deadline for applications of Nov. 4 to the committee.

Councillor Jim Bertram was adamantly against initiating the application process, stating council should consider appointing the runner-up (Deron Johnston) for councillor in the 2014 election, who received over 2,000 votes, out of a total voter turnout of 5,000. He voted against recommending the application process to council. The vote was carried three to one, with the final vote scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 13 at the regular council meeting. For the full story, see next week’s edition of the Kemptville Advance.

Southbridge acquired Bayfield Manor, a 66 nursing bed and 57 suite retirement home in Kemptville, Ontario recently.

“We are pleased to welcome Bayfield’s residents and staff into the Southbridge family,” remarked Mike Petersen, President and CEO of Southbridge Capital Inc. “Our hope is that together, we can continue to build upon the great sense of community in the home, while delivering excellence in care and services.”

This acquisition is strategic for the Southbridge network given its close proximity to other Southbridge homes in the surrounding Ottawa area. With the acquisition of Bayfield Manor, Southbridge now employs over 2,300 people in 18 cities across Ontario, providing quality care for 2,200 residents in a blend of long-term care homes and retirement facilities.

KYC seeks coordinator for cross-country ski loaning program Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Free usage of skis anyone?

The Kemptville Youth Centre (KYC) was gifted between 10 and 15 pairs of cross-country skis, along with ski boots and poles, for people in the community to use for free.

The new ski loaning program at the KYC is set to be up and running by the time the first snow falls.

However, a coordinator is needed to help orchestrate the new program.

“What I am hoping for is someone in the community to step up to the challenge of organizing the ski loaning program here,” said Robin Heald, KYC executive director.

She explained the coordinator would help put together an inventory of the skis, label them all with numbers, create sign-out and sign-in sheets for users to fill out, create maps of local trails for users to reference, ensure the skis

are returned in a timely manner and coordinate maintenance of the skis with sponsors.

“Our goal is for everyone to have access to the skis in a selfserve format,” she said.

The KYC will also be making use of the incredible gift, with plans to incorporate cross-country skiing into their sports night programming.

“Our youth can go cross country skiing in the park, rather than going to the gym every time,” said Heald.

Users will be able to stop by the KYC, located at 5 Oxford St. W., to sign-out the skis during regular hours (Monday and Tuesday from 2 to 6 p.m., Wednesday and Thursday from 2 to 8 p.m. and Friday from 2 to 9 p.m.) for the weekend or a few days’ time.

“The skis will be kept in the back stairwell storage area,” said Heald.

“People can come right in, sign out the skis and be on their way.”

She said there will be a volun-

She said a coordinator for this new community initiative is necessary due to staff limitations and time restraints.

“The ideal person would be someone who wants to promote physical activity in the community,” she said.

“I started to see Canadians were given a bad deal,” said Meagher. “The dirty end of the stick, so to speak.” The Canadians were also faced with Japanese spies and espionage.

Canadian soldiers arrived in Hong Kong on Nov. 20, 1941. By Dec. 8, the soldiers were at war. By Dec. 25, every Canadian soldier deployed was either dead or in a prison camp.

“The British knew all about it,” said Meagher.

“They understood. They sent them to a doomed garrison.” Ewing was just 16 years old when he joined the army in 1941 – throwing his school books into the cedar hedges and telling his mother he wouldn’t be coming home from school that day. He was sent to Hong Kong.

Excerpt: Three days after I was captured I was sent to North Point prison camp, where I was assigned a place on the floor. I had no blankets, pillow or mattress. The doors and windows were gone and the building walls and foundation had been partly destroyed. We had everything from bed bugs to fleas and body lice. I went 28 days without a bowel movement, caused partly from not eating. When I awoke on the 29th day I had dysentery. The cramps were so terrible I couldn’t move.

Ewing was then taken to the makeshift hospital where he was given the regular ration – two-thirds of a cup of rice.

I had an epiphany and I never forgot it all the time I was in prison camp. Eat or die.

He looked over at another man in his company, who turned his face to the wall and died.

The Japanese guards were brutal. You soon learned you had to salute them or get a beating.

Scurvy became commonplace. Your teeth loosened in your gums and your testicles turned red like a piece of raw meat. The prisoners called it strawberry balls.

Ewing later contracted tuberculosis, from which his health never fully recovered. After Japan surrendered, following Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he returned to Canada and attended University. “At the end, the British blamed the Canadians for their substandard performance,” said Meagher.

Excerpt: In 1995, more than half a century after Hong Kong had surrendered to the Japanese, an ex-British Marine, E.J. Bird, living in Northhampton, England wrote to Philip Doddridge, a lance corporal in the Royal Rifles of Canada. Bird had served aboard the HMS Danae, the ship that escorted the troopship carrying Canadians from Manila to Hong Kong. He wrote: “I remember quite vividly the days when we escorted you to Hong Kong from Manila, in the Philippines, and the fact we in the crew were well aware of the situation that awaited all of you. The whole detachment of Royal Marines aboard the Danae was, to say the least, absolutely appalled at the predicament we were placing you in.” “(Doddridge) was pleased to hear the apology,” said Meagher, who spoke to him while researching for the book. The book can be purchased at Business Strategies in Kemptville, The Merrickville Book Emporium, Arlies Books in Smiths Falls, Embracing the Arts in Winchester and Perfect Books in Ottawa.

David Kennedy steps into role of principal at Holy Cross with focus on inclusion Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Teaching is a calling for most educators.

David Kennedy, the new principal at Holy Cross Catholic School in Kemptville, tried to run away from his calling, but it eventually caught up with him.

“It seemed to be a career that was chasing me, but I kept running away from it,” explained Kennedy.

“I was working in the corporate world, but I wasn’t fulfilled. What I was doing seemed pointless.

All my life, I’ve found myself in teaching roles; ski instructor and camp councillor. But I thought, who wants to be a teacher?”

He visited a psychologist to take an aptitude test. Career number one was lawyer, but Kennedy opted for number two; teacher.

He grew up in Pembroke, attending Champlain High School in Pembroke. Coincidently, the new Vice Principal at Holy Cross, Catherine English, also attended Champlain High School.

After high school, he took a BA in Political Science. Then he went off to learn French in Quebec and France for a year. When he returned, he took a job working at Queen’s Park.

“I wanted to be the Prime Minister,” said Kennedy, “until I started working at Queen’s Park for the Minister of Education.”

He said the need to follow the party line, even if you didn’t support certain aspects, was what soured his political ambitions.

“Always putting a spin on things,” said Kennedy, who values truth and honesty.

He returned to University to take a BA in English, graduating from teachers college at the age of 29.

His first teaching gig was at Pope John Paul II Catholic School in Hammond. He continued to teach for the following 12 years, before being appointed Vice Principal of St. Francis Xavier Catholic High School in Hammond.

“Our new Superintendent (Natalie Cameron, of the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario) was the principal there at the time,” said Kennedy. “There is a mutual trust between us.”

He said going from teacher to administrator was, at times, scary.

“Most of the time you’re dealing with people who are agitated, angry and upset,” said Kennedy. “I learned that by being tossed in the deep end. Natalie was really great to work with. She was supportive mentoring me. I learned by watching.”

He said he does miss certain aspects of teaching; primarily being in the classroom.

“If I’m not in the office, you can most likely find me in a class-

GARDENER’S CORNER

Strange Week Yesterday was yet another road trip with the neighbours. This time to the International Plowing Match near Finch Ont. If you ever need a few tips on how to organize an event, take a page from this group. They handle thousands of guests with speed, convenience and rural charm.

All the leading edge technology for growing just about anything is on display and vendors were only to happy to answer any questions, even dumb questions.

When we disembarked from the tractor drawn hay wagon that had whisked us from the free parking lot to the main gate, we were greeted by the most enthusiastic volunteer. “Just remember that at the end of the day to come back to this gate to get back to the proper parking lot. Just look for the big green combine.”

It was the most massive John Deere combine I have ever seen. It towered above the entrance gate. A modern day marvel of agricultural technology. That’s were things started getting a little strange. I had just finished the chapter in Dan Barber’s book, “The Third Plate” about what we are doing to our soil.

After the last ice age, glaciers receded and deposited a rich fertile swath of land from Canada to Texas that has come to be known as the grand prairie. In time that land was naturalized with sedges and perennial wheat and an estimated 50 million Bison. A mainstay of nutrition for first nations. Then came the Europeans with their puny plows from the eastern colonies. They were

room,” said Kennedy. “I enjoy seeing what the kids are doing.”

Following St. Francis Xavier, he was appointed the principal of St. Columban’s Catholic School in Cornwall.

“That was an experience,” said Kennedy. “Working in downtown Cornwall…there’s a lot of need.

School is the most important institution.”

During his four years there, the academic results at the school went up.

“One of my strengths is collaboration and team building,” said Kennedy. “Creating an atmosphere of collegiately and working together as a team.”

He said being a principal is difficult, at times.

“Your day is not your own,” said Kennedy. “You never know when issues are going to arise. That’s one of the things I really enjoy about this job; the variety.”

After his stint at St. Columban’s, he returned to Pope John Paul II, filling the role of principal this time around.

“After Cathy (Empey) retired, I was appointed principal here,” said Kennedy.

He said every school is different, as is every community.

“There is a different culture in each school,” said Kennedy. “As far as I know, this is the largest (student body) elementary R0023479864/1015

no match for the sedges and perennial wheat with eight foot root systems. Their plows snapped like twigs. Enter John Deere.

In 1837 he invented a cast steel plow that would severe deep roots and turn the soil. Abraham Lincoln upped the ante in 1862 by offering 160 acres of free land to anyone that would work the farm for five years. As the new “sodbusters” turned the soil, first nation elders commented that they were “ getting the wrong side up”.

Perennial wheat was replaced by annual wheat and the bison that had naturally fertilized the prairie were hunted to near extinction. From 50 million in 1800 to 300 by 1900. Fast forward to the 1930’s. Shallow rooted annual wheat perished in times of drought. There was no erosion control and then the “Dust Bowl”.

The prairie can no longer support high yield wheat crops without massive applications of chemical fertilizer and hope for rain. The elders were right, we got the wrong side up. We turned a balanced natural environment into synthetic agriculture. Our flour needs to be enriched.

As I stood there looking at the monstrous green machine at the entrance gate, I couldn’t help thinking about how we have progressed to a preference for profit instead of sustainable, nutritious and flavourful crops.

Strange week indeed for someone that just wants to grow the things we eat.

If you have any gardening questions, email me at gordknights3@gmail.com

school in our board.”

Kennedy is a father of three, from which he takes his own experiences when dealing with student’s parents, and resides in Orleans.

“I understand where parents are coming from,” said Kennedy. “I know what we all go through.”

He said the education system functions as a partner in raising children.

“That’s why we need to be communicative,” said Kennedy, who has thus far been blow away by the level of parent involvement at Holy Cross.

He said during his first year, he will stand back, watch and learn how things are done at Holy Cross.

“I don’t make change unless change is needed,” said Kennedy.

“Things are going well here.”

He said the North Grenville community has lots to offer, in terms of programming for families.

“Big Brothers, Big Sisters come in and do a program here,” said Kennedy. “Right now, some of our students are off to watch the premier of ‘Return to Ryan’s Well.’”

His goal is to involve as many people as possible in the decision Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND making processes at the school.

‘Return to Ryan’s Well’ documentary premieres in Kemptville jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

An emotional journey is the best way to describe ‘Return to Ryan’s Well.’

The documentary, which follows Ryan Hreljac’s return to his first well site at Angolo Primary School in Uganda, premiered at the North Grenville Municipal Centre on Oct. 2. The Urbandale Arts Centre was packed with interested viewers.

Back in 2001, filmmaker Lalita Krishna directed the original documentary, titled ‘Ryan’s Well,’ to share Ryan’s story with the world. A decade and a half later, she directed ‘Return to Ryan’s Well.’

Devan Pennell, Treasurer of the Ryan’s Well Foundation, welcomed attendees.

“That first well in Uganda is actually the reason we are here tonight,” said Pennell. “We’re celebrating the return to that well after 15 years. Ryan always says he’s just an ordinary guy and an ordinary guy with a passion, who can rally people around that passion, can create a community. Tonight we’d like to share with you that passion and hopefully you guys will be part of the Ryan’s Well community and I know that the community of Kemptville has been an enormous supporter of Ryan’s Well Foundation.”

He introduced the filmmaker.

“Thanks to the Ryan’s Well Foundation for organizing this fantastic screening and this opportunity to premier this documentary, which has been a longtime in the making,” said Krishna. “Fifteen years ago I had the opportunity to be able to tell Ryan’s story. The story of how is dream and his passion and determination changed the lives of people in a country far away, in Uganda. That was the story; that a little boy can make a difference and change the world. But I’ve had the privilege of being in touch with the family, seeing the foundation grow and seeing the ripple effect of the story about how many lives have been changed. Hundreds of thousands of lives have been changed.”

She said the foundation and Ryan’s story have made a difference all around the world. “So when they called me and said Ryan is taking a trip back to see the first well and we’d like you to come with us, I jumped at the idea,” said Krishna.

“As a filmmaker, I tell stories about people. Ryan inspired me to start doing genre films about ordinary people doing extraordinary things. To ignite that passion - that power of one – in people.”

She said the opportunity to go back and see the difference the well has made

in people’s lives is a privilege not too many people get. “To be able to document the effect the work the foundation does in the lives of hundreds of thousands of people is, once again, a privilege,” said Krishna. The film begins with images of Uganda, followed by Hreljac travelling in a truck towards the first well site.

“When I was a kid, I was nothing special,” he said in a voiceover. “Over the years, other kids realized you don’t need to be special to make a difference.”

A series of flashback videos of Hreljac appearing on Oprah and doing interviews followed. Next, a series of clips from ‘Ryan’s Well,’ showing Hreljac’s initial visit to the first well site in Uganda. As Hreljac arrived in the village where the original well was built, the villagers were lined up to greet him singing and dancing. A number of villagers were asked how the well changed their lives – questions answered with reference to previous polluted water sources that made everyone sick.

Hreljac told a story about how he tried for years to beat his dad at chess, Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND failing time and time again. Finally, at Ryan Hreljac (center), with filmmaker Lalita Krishna (left) and Deleo Moses (right), Executive Director of the age of 14, he beat him.

“He told me you need to learn fail- Divine Waters Uganda, one of the Ryan’s Well Foundation’s longest standing partners, following the preure, so you can succeed,” he said in a mier of ‘Return to Ryan’s Well.’ A total of $3,500 was raised for the foundation at the premier. voiceover. A special ceremony was held for Hrlejac in the village, featuring various testimonials about how the well had changed their lives for the better.

“It’s bizarre to be back,” he said in a voiceover. “It’s interesting to be back and see all that’s changed.”

More than 300 vehicles presented Hreljac danced with the locals, who sang for Hreljac and his parents – Mark Primary list and directions at www.rideauauctions.com and Susan. “It’s like a big puzzle, this world,” he said in a voiceover. “EveryList at www.icangroup.ca one has a little piece and they have to figure our where that fits.”

Heavy trucks, (300) light vehicles, trailers; etc.

The film ended with Hreljac leaned Registration of participants and vehicle inspection will be possible on October up against a fence surrounded by children from the school – his ever-present 14 between 9 am and 4pm, October 15 between 9am and 4pm and on October grin displaying his happiness.

at a reasonable price.”

She said there was a 99.6 per cent patron satisfaction rate.

“Online ticket sales, as well as shuttle survey, indicate we had visitors from over 90 communities, from as far away as Toronto, Montreal, North Bay, Syracuse and everywhere in between,” she said.

Over 40 per cent of visitors travelled from over 40km away and 18 per cent stayed overnight in the area.

Areas for improvement have been identified, such as the flow and communication for the bar, with volunteer training, accessibility, shuttles and greening being main priorities.

“Congratulations on such a fantastic event,” said Coun. Tim Sutton. “It’s something, I think, that is going to shape our community for years to come. I look forward to seeing it grow. Hats off to you and your whole committee. It’s that piece that we’ve been missing in the past.”

“I thought it great,” said Mayor David Gordon. “Nothing but praise, for the whole event.

Everybody I spoke to had high praise. Thank you all for putting on one heck of a festival.”

Bedard, along with Bob Besharah, another organizer, presented members of council with a commemorative Fender guitar, signed by all the acts at the festival, as a token of appreciation.

Kemptville Live Music Festival organizer, Karen Bedard, presented the 2015 summary report to council on Sept. 28.

“The Live Music Festival concept was proposed late summer 2014, as an opportunity to provide a made-at-home signature music event,” said Bedard.

“Thanks to municipal administration for allowing the concept to be explored and assisting in venue negotiations and grant application. This report serves as due diligence in reporting to our supporters.”

She explained the KLMF was incorporated as a not-for-profit organization in 2014.

“We were fortunate from the beginning to have great support from local businesses, who embraced the vision and trusted us to grow this festival,” said Bedard.

She said all the support from local and non-local businesses strengthened the festival’s position to apply for grants, from Celebrate Ontario, Grenville Community Futures Development Corporation and the Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund.

She said the KLMF committee was formed in October 2014 and

by January 2015, a strong basis of volunteers was formed.

“Volunteer recruitment con-

tinued, up to and including, the event weekend,” said Bedard.

“By May, over 80 volunteers had registered.”

Volunteers moved on to the Kemptville College grounds site on July 15.

“Field set-up began on Wednesday (July 22) and all compliance inspections were completed by Friday (July 24) morning,” said Bedard.

She said tear-down was swift and uneventful.

“Volunteers maintained an immaculate venue throughout the weekend,” she said.

Friday was a great day, with attendance of approximately 2,900 people.

“We had one incident, on stage, which was handled by Tom Cochrane and his crew,” said Bedard.

Saturday was another great day, despite the rain, with about 1,600 people and two security incidences, “which were handled by our security firm and the OPP.” Sunday was a surprise with attendance topping estimates at 1,150 people. There was one incident, relative to heat, which was handled by EMS, she added.

“Overall event analysis concludes the festival was a success,” said Bedard.

“We established a reputation for a safe and inviting venue, with high level of programming

Kemptville 73’s split action Brian Wilson

On Friday, Oct. 2, Kemptville welcomed the Kanata Lasers to North Grenville. Kanata has started this season with a rather dismal record having only won two games. There have been several ros-

ter changes as they search for the right mix of players. The 73’s were hoping that they have not found it yet. Just 0:33 seconds from the opening face-off, Jason Tackett scored his sixth marker of the year. The assists went to Matt Tugnutt and Cam Russell.

By the time the clock hit the ten-minute mark, Kemptville was up by a score of 3-0. Those two goals were scored by Dean Kiriacou and Jake Gaudet. Tugnutt picked up his second assist of the evening and the singles went to Owen Guy, Brandon Cole and Adam Alavi.

Kanata managed to get on the board with a power play goal late in the period. Leading 3-1, the 73’s wanted to

continue their scoring barrage. Tackett scored his second of the game with the helpers going to Tugnutt and Russell again. The next goal of the second period was a great shot from the point

by Quinn Wichers. That play was set up

by Kiriacou and Russell. Taking a 5-1 lead into the third, the game got a little chippy. Tyler Young concluded the 73’s scoring with his first goal of the year from Kaelan O’Flynn and Matt Titus.

The final score was 6-1 in Kemptville’s favour.

Tyler Young was the first star of the game scoring a goal worthy of a highlight reel. With three points, Matt Tugnutt got the nod for second star.

It was then on to Pembroke on Sunday, Oct. 4 to visit the Lumber Kings.

Pembroke took a 2-0 lead halfway through the first on some questionable defense. The Kings outshot the 73’s 17-7 in the period. Things tightened up substantially in the second as the teams combined for only 11 shots and no goals.

The third period saw tempers flare on both sides with the more inflammatory play belonging to Pembroke.

On a poor call by the officials, the Kings received a power play and capitalized on it to bring the score to 3-0. Over 100 minutes in penalties were handed out in the last minute of the game that was started by a dangerous check to the

head.

Adam Alavi was selected as the third star in this game.

The 73’s play three times this week.

On Thursday, Oct. 8, the team travels to Cornwall to challenge the Colts. That game will be followed up by another road trip on Friday, Oct. 9, as Kemptville makes the short trip down Highway 43 to Smiths Falls and visits the Bears den.

Sunday, Oct. 11 sees a return to North Grenville and the Cornwall Colts will make an appearance on the back end of a home and home series. Support your local team.

Come on out! Excitement on ice! See you at the rink!

School Bus Safety Week is October 19 – 23, 2015 The Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario (STEO), the transportation consortium for the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) and the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB), is joining other transportation consortia and school transportation companies across Ontario, in promoting the importance of school bus safety during School Bus Safety Week.

In Ontario, over 800,000 children and teenagers ride safely, in over 18,000 school buses, each day.

Studies show that school buses are the safest method for transporting young people – up to 22 times safer than passenger cars.

“Ensuring the safety of students as they enter and exit the bus is crucial,” said STEO General Manager and Chief Administrative Officer, Ron Cotnam.

“We are continuously training our bus drivers to be cautious while on and offboarding students, but we also need support from motorists in the community to make sure they stop for school buses as they load and unload children. “ The law requires motorists to stop for a school bus any time it has stopped to load or unload.

In Ontario, buses display red flashing lights and a stop sign is extended from the side of the bus, to alert motorists to stop.

Motorists can also take steps to support safe driving around buses, including avoiding distracted driving and scheduling for morning traffic delays.

Bus operators throughout the region will be conducting contests and promotions in conjunction with local schools in support of School Bus Safety Week.

Police departments throughout the region will also be diligent in ensuring drivers are following all rules and laws pertaining to bus safety.

Playwright Israel Horovitz spent four years re-working one of his favourite scripts between 2010 and 2014. Then, he got together a small cast to turn it into a film – Dame Maggie Smith, Kevin Kline and Kristen Scott Thomas.

That film pleased him so much that he decided to rewrite the stage play based on the movie script. The new version of the play was published early in 2015 and Perth’s BarnDoor Productions will be presenting the first Canadian production of it.

My Old Lady first reached the stage in 2006, not on Broadway but in Darmstadt, Germany. That may seem odd because it’s an American play, written in English, about a man finding himself in Paris, but it’s not too surprising when you realize that Horovitz’s 70-plus plays have been translated into more than 30 languages and performed around the world. In 2009, the 70-70 Horovitz Project took place: 70 of Horovitz’ plays were performed in 20 countries to celebrate his 70th birthday. Among other honours, he is the recipient of the Ordre Des Arts Et Des Lettres, France’s highest literary honour.

My Old Lady is one of Horovitz’ personal favourites. It’s a simple comedy about a man and two women whom he meets in a land that is foreign to him.

The Wall Street Journal said, “Nothing especially surprising happens, any more than it does in a Mozart symphony.”

And, that’s the beauty of this play: it’s an exquisite piece of jewelry created by a master craftsman.

BarnDoor Productions’ (BDP) cast includes two veterans and one newcomer. Nancy Browman will be making her Full Circle Theatre (FCT) debut (she did appear in BDP’s The Chimes in 2009) as Chloé, a French woman living with her mother at 59-years-old. James Benda, last seen at FCT as the chilling Manningham in 2014’s Gaslight, is Mathias, or just Jim, a New Yorker who hopes to find a new life in an inherited Paris apartment. The title role of the old lady is taken by Donna Bourgeault, from 2013’s The 39 Steps, playing Mathilde, a 90 (or is it 92?) year-old woman who has as many secrets as birthdays.

It’s the ongoing dialogue between these characters and the revelation of the past that makes the show a rivetting piece of theatre and one that is very different. It’s a comedy, right enough, but it also has an underlying current of real thought. Horovitz considers it a tribute and thank-you to Paris and to France, where he is the most produced American playwright.

My Old Lady will run Oct. 16, 17, 22, 23, 24 at 8 p.m. and Oct. 18 and 25 at 2 p.m. at the Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street, Perth, near Last Duel Park. Tickets are $20 reserved; $22 at the door; students are just $10.

My Old Lady is just the first of a set of exciting productions in BarnDoor’s 21st season. Following at the end of November will be another premiere, this time of a new adaptation of a 1936 movie that is billed as a “holiday farce.”

February will see BDP’s first play by David Mamet, when A Life In The The-

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, it may be challenging to express your true feelings, especially when you fear what others may think. Just do what feels comfortable to you.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Take a sentimental journey with a loved one, Taurus. You never know what examining your emotions will uncover, and you will get to spend quality time together.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you can strike up a conversation with just about anyone this week. Your gift for gab makes you a fun person to have around and a welcome member to any new group.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, someone may catch you off guard this week and you don’t have your go-to plan in place. Worry not, as you will rebound quickly and bounce back in a big way.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, it may seem like everyone is hanging on every word you say this week. Don’t worry about performing, just continue to do what gravitates people toward you.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, although you’re not a big fan of the spotlight, this week you will be asked to handle a situation on center stage. You just may enjoy the situation, so don’t fret about it.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, share your long-term goals with colleagues and you may find some unexpected allies. Support can only help your efforts even further.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, set personal feelings aside when dealing with professional matters. Allowing emotion to get in the way of your goals will only end up affecting you.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, this is a great time to try something new. Whether it’s a new food or a new experience you’ve been looking to try, dive right in and enjoy the excitement.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, expect to be excited by a budding relationship in the weeks ahead. Open up to friends or family members so you can share this positive development with loved ones.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Waiting patiently this week will not get the job done, Aquarius.

You may have to be more assertive to get things done. Others will understand and prove helpful.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, a problem at work seems tough to crack. Take your time and try a new approach, and you will be happy with the results.

DEATH NOTICE

Margaret Helen Duncan died the morning of Saturday, October 3, 2015. She had struggled for the past few years with the challenges of dementia. At the end, she was a shell of her former self, enjoying the few small pleasures that are left to those getting from one day to the next in the small world in which very old and ill people are often forced to live. Helen’s parents, Peggy and Jack Duncan of Peterborough, Ontario, died many years ago as did her only sibling, her brother, Ronald Duncan (Mary), of London, Ontario. Born in Estevan, Saskatchewan (May 19, 1929), Helen moved to Peterborough, Ontario as a child. It was there she met and, in 1949, married Charles James Helmes of Sydenham, Ontario. Helen and Charlie lived in Peterborough and Belleville before moving to Ottawa in 1962. They had four children — Rick (Pamela), Geoff (Nancy), Melanie (Mike Shurben) and Kyle (Helene), but divorced after nearly three decades together. She never remarried and for the rest of her life pursued her own interests. She lived and worked for awhile in Ottawa before moving, first, to Smiths Falls, and, finally, to Carleton Place. She lived at the Carleton Place Manor for a few years moving subsequently to Stoneridge Manor, and passed the final months of her life in their care. The family would like to thank the nurses, doctors and other staff who helped her — and us — to make the last years of her life as pleasant as possible. Helen liked art and design and for a number of years worked at an art gallery and for a couple of years ran a couple of small dress shops in Ottawa. Like her mother, she was a talented artisan who took great pleasure and showed great skill at various crafts: knitting, sewing, needlepoint, brass, mosaic tile, etc. to create personal heirlooms for members of the family. She will be remembered with love and fondness by her children, grandchildren (Kevin, Graham, Jessica, Ian, Jim, Christine (Fady), Sarah and Leah) and great-grandchildren (Charlee, Sawyer, Owen, and Conner). A memorial service will be held Saturday, October 10, 2015 at the Alan R. Barker Funeral Home, 19 McArthur Avenue, Carleton Place. Visitation beginning at 1:00. Service at 2:30 in the chapel.

Reception to follow. www.barkerfh.com
