Fetherston Park residents inch closer to deal to save homes By JENNIFER WESTENDORP jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

News – The residents of Fetherston Mobile Home Park hope to be celebrating Christmas, and many holidays to come, in the comfort of their homes if a proposal from their association is accepted by the municipality of North Grenville. Residents are excited about the possibility of an end to the issue. The residents of Fetherston gathered at O’Heaphy’s Irish Pub in Kemptville on Sunday, Nov. 3 to elect a new board of directors for a not-for-profit association, which could take over the ownership and operations of Fetherston. “Three weeks ago, we put together a business plan for the (North Grenville) municipality,” said Maurice Dumoulin. Dumoulin handed out a new book, containing the most recent business plan, to all the residents. He said municipal staff were not opposed to the basis of the association’s business plan. Dumoulin said that ASI Group, which is based out of St. Catharines, Ont., would assume responsibility for the monitoring and operation of the sewage and water system at Fetherston once an agreement is signed. Dumoulin said he would be busy for the next couple weeks, working with the municipality and ASI Group to finalize a possible agreement. He said that Fetherston could become a model for other mobile home parks across the country. “We can run this park like

crazy and be a model for other trailer parks.” Dumoulin said it’s important for all the residents to work together and function on a ‘majority rules’ basis, which will be the foundation of the new association. “It is not for me to dictate what I want,” said Dumoulin. “We all have to decide together.” New board The new board of directors for the not-for-profit association includes Maurice Dumoulin as president, Bill English as vice-president, Maryann Bell as secretary, Lesley McGhee as treasurer, Joe Theriault as director, Joyce Keuning as director and Shelly Kitchen as director. If an agreement is struck the not-for-profit association will be responsible for all operational aspects of Fetherston Mobile Park. Dumoulin said the costing per person of the sewage and water system still needs to be hashed out between the association and ASI Group, but will not exceed $250 per month per unit. Dumoulin said that originally ASI Group asked the association for a $250,000 down payment, which was not financially feasible. Should an agreement be reached, all residents will have to sign a land lease and agree to the rules and regulations dictated by the newly formed association. “We are a family and that’s the way I want to keep it,” said Dumoulin. “Our destiny is in our hands now.”

Bone marrow drives to be held for teen requiring transplant all participate and register. Mackenzie’s dad, Doug, is an alumnus of the Bears and Blue Wings. Doug said Mackenzie is a big volunteer in the community and encourages people to organize bone marrow drives at their high schools, through their work, unions or sports organizations. “She (Mackenzie) has been a great volunteer and a really great daughter. When our family friend was dealing with breast cancer she made bracelets and raised over $1,600 for breast cancer research,� he explained. “That is one of the many things she has done over her 16 years.� OneMatch has a simple system in place for those wishing to organize or take part in a bone marrow drive, which includes a school as-

sembly with a 15-minute presentation by a OneMatch representative. To register in the system, all donors have to do is give a simple cheek swab sample. “It is very important to Mackenzie and our family to help the OneMatch program grow, for our daughter as well as the next person and family who will require the use of the bone marrow registry,â€? Doug stated. â€œâ€ŚBy helping Mackenzie as a potential donor, you could also help save the life of someone who will be near and dear to someone.â€? For more information about the OneMatch Stem Cell and Marrow Network and how to register, visit www.onematch.ca or find their page on Facebook (www. facebook.com/OneMatch).

Community – Becoming a bone marrow donor can save a life, maybe Mackenzie Curran’s. The 16-year-old teen who attends Regiopolis-Notre Dame Catholic High School in Kingston, has myelodyplastic syndrome (MDS) and requires a lifesaving bone marrow transplant. To spread the word about the importance of bone marrow donation, two upcoming ‘Get Swabbed’ bone marrow drives will be held in Smiths Falls and Brockville. “These (drives) are being held through Canadian Blood Services and its OneMatch Stem Cell and Bone Marrow Network,� explained Mackenzie’s aunt, Pattie Curran Tuck. “We are looking for males 17 to 35 in hopes of find-

Studio Theatre brings back old-fashioned storytelling in ‘Voices’ By JOAN SONNENBURG

Arts – “Life is all about finding a way to communicate with one another�, says Sue Tennant of Studio Theatre in Perth. “By using one of our senses - body language, sign, Braille, blissymbolics, or spoken word – we all find a way to communicate.� Once this communication was personal, one individual to another. But today we live in an age of so-called mass communication, when we have only to press a button to learn what’s going on in any part of the world, listen to a favourite song, or tune into an exciting movie or TV show. The intimacy of the old-fashioned singer and storyteller seems to have all but died out. Rarely do we hear someone ask, “Tell me a story,� or “Sing me a song.�

But the Studio Theatre and Kelly’s Flowers are offering just such an experience in ‘Voices.’ On Sunday, Nov. 10 at 3 p.m., novelist Tim Wynne-Jones and singer Jenny Whiteley will take you on a journey of life as they see and have seen it. Here is an opportunity to sit back, relax be entertained in words and song by two award-winning wordsmiths. Tim Wynne-Jones will be reading from and discussing Blink and Caution, his most recent award winning novels. Thriller, crime novel, and social commentary – it is a story charged with tension and suspense in which two compelling characters are caught up in a dangerous blackmail scheme. Tim is also the author of many children’s, young adult and adult novels.

A proud officer of the esteemed Governor General’s award, Tim is currently the writer in residence at Queen’s University. He lives with his wife Amanda Lewis in Brooke Valley a short distance from Perth on 76 acres of scrubby swamp land. They have three grown children. He is also a musician who loves rock and roll and getting together with his favourite local band mates from The Usual Suspects. Jenny Whiteley is a gifted singer whose lyrics capture the soul of real-life experiences. Her evocative self-titled debut album won the Juno Award for Best Roots and Traditional Recording: Solo in March 2001. She is the daughter of renowned blues musician Chris Whiteley. Being prodigy of a mu-

sical family, her destiny was determined long ago, and her peers have recently recognized Jenny’s incredible voice. Prairie Oyster invited her to sing on their re-released Man in the Moon, a song written by Jenny’s father Chris. She also sings background vocals on Sarah Harmers hit song, Basement Apartment. She has been awarded showcase opportunities at a number of exclusive North American festivals, including the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals, the North American Folk Alliance and South by Southwest Music Festival and conference. She lives with her husband Joey Wright and their daughters in nearby Maberly, Ontario. So on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 10 at 3 p.m., switch off your TV, leave

your iPad at home, and come sit in the intimate dark comfort of the Studio Theatre, and let Tim and Jenny tell you a story and sing you a song. And don’t forget, even if you have a mobility issue, Studio Theatre is now fully accessible. Tickets for this event are available Kelly’s Flowers, 63 Gore St. E in Perth, 613-267-7065. Tickets are $20 and payable by cash, debit, or credit card. They will also be available at the Studio Theatre box office the night of the performance. Cash only. For further information, call the Studio Theatre box office at 613-267-7469 or visit the website at www. studiotheatreperth.com.

Arts – On Friday evening, Nov. 8, the first of seven community theatre groups will heed the traditional stage manager’s call and take their places as the lights come on at the start of Eastern Ontario Drama League’s (EODL) 45th annual One Act Play Festival. The festival will run through the weekend with performances on Friday night, Saturday afternoon and Saturday evening. These seven community theatre groups from across eastern Ontario will be competing for a variety of prestigious awards. A Green Room is held following the evening performances of Nov. 8 and 9 where the audience can mingle with the casts and crews of the competing groups over drinks and snacks. The Green Room is the social centre of the festival where old friends meet and new friends are made, where disasters and triumphs are hilariously relived, new events excitedly discussed and old ones avidly re-examined. The festival’s finale is the celebrated brunch and awards ceremony where the competing groups await the adjudicator’s decisions on awards with eager anticipation. The plays are adjudicated by a recognized professional in the Ontario drama world. This year, the adjudicator is Carolee Mason, particularly noted in her teaching of drama, working with drama students and young people as well as her experience as a director of drama and musicals. With her wealth of experience as a communicator, evaluator and instructor she is an invaluable adjudicator. The adjudicator gives a brief public evaluation of each group’s production at the end of each performance which the audience is invited to hear. A more detailed evaluation is given to the casts and crews following the public evaluation. The plays will be performed in the Merrickville Community

2014 Mitsubishi Mirage: Named for what it turns gas stations into

The vehicles I road-test for these reviews (yes itís a tough job, but Iím willing to

make sacrifices) come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian

head offices of the manufacturers and local dealerships. I prefer to use dealership

units whenever possible because they more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higher-end models. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out

the manufacturersí websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. Itís the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at

Rivington Mitsubishi in Carleton Place. Mitsubishiís latest entry into the Canadian market, the Mirage has now landed on dealer lots and is finding early acceptance from buyers looking for fuel economy and affordability in a stylish and

safe package. The base model leaves the driveway at $12,348 for the ES trim package with a five-speed manual transmission. My SE tester (the only other trim level available) equipped with a continually variable transmission (CVT) and the $500 convenience

package came in at $17,098 before destination fees, dealer prep, or taxes. Power comes from a 1.2 L dual overhead cam three-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 74 hp. The front wheels are driven through either a five-speed stick or a CVT. While this is no muscle car or even an RVR cross-over, it doesnít pretend it is either. With the CVT acceleration was acceptable for a sub 100hp subcompact. I took the Mirage up to just over 100 kph with surprisingly low levels of road or engine noise. Its short wheel base and overall length (96î and 149î respectively) combined with a very small turning circle makes the Mirage very easy to move through an urban setting. No worries about being able to find a large parking spot or a wide opening in tight traffic. Inside, a proportionally taller roof line gives the Mirage ample headroom for even 6+ footers and full length side doors and a low step in makes entry and exit reasonable for this class. The

tall roof line extends the entire length creating great cargo space especially with the rear seats folded down. Unexpected touches such as heated seats and a fully automatic climate control system nicely provided some creature comforts in a simple yet functional interior. On the highway some body-sway is noted with stronger cross winds and/or hard cornering maneuvers. Seats were supportive, engine noise or vibration was minimal and for an entry level vehicle it would be hard to find a longer feature list for the money. Standard seven air-bags, anti-lock brakes, active stability and traction control, a brake override and assist system all bring a higher than expected level of passenger safety to the table. Exterior styling is reminiscent of the Honda Fit and seems to keep up with current auto fashion trends. Forward and rearward visibility is better than most sub-compacts and while the majority of driving most Mirages will see

will be in urban centres or commutes, this vehicle would make a suitable regional tourer. The big news for Mirage fans is the fuel economy. The three-cylinder sips fuel at an incredibly light rate. A CVT equipped Mirage is pegged by NRCan at 5.3 L/100 km city and 4.4 L/100 km highway (53.3 mpg 64.2 mpg respectively). US EPA ratings converted to imperial gallons are 44.4 mpg city and 52.8 mpg highway. Either way the Mirage is deep into hybrid mileage territory without the extra price tag those gasoline/ electrics carry. Mirage is backed by the best warranty in the industry; a 10 yr/160,000 km power-train and 5 yr/100,000 km new vehicle warranty with a 5 yr/unlimited distance roadside assistance plan. So for a second family car or a first for younger buyers, the Mirage has all the tools to handle day to day commuting and a little fun on the weekend without breaking either the purchase bank or monthly fuel bill.

Community – Are you an elementary or secondary school student? Are you passionate about nature? Do you relish the opportunity to use your research, art, design, and written communication skills to inspire all of us to help our planet? Then this poster contest is for you. As part of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) plastic bag reduction campaign, we invite all local elementary and secondary school students, including those who are homeschooled to participate in our Refuse-To-Use Poster Contest designed to reduce the use, locally, of singleuse plastic bags. Because they are so lightweight and buoyant and take hundreds of year to break down, plastic bags escape into fields, forests, rivers and oceans, wreaking havoc on millions of animals and their habitats around the world. MVFN’s plastic bag reduction effort began earlier this year with the goal to raise awareness of the harm caused globally by the release of plastic bags into the natural environment. During this campaign, MVFN volunteers surveyed local businesses about plastic bag use and conducted smallscale surveys of numbers of people using re-useable containers vs. plastic bags for their shopping. MVFN volunteers also hosted a series of information tables at events such as the Almonte and Pakenham fairs, Celt-

Great Big Sea frontman Alan Doyle enjoys addition of solo career

Submitted photo

A documentary chronicling the making of Alan Doyle’s, above, solo record is set to air nationwide on CMT on Friday. His band, Great Big Sea, will be returning to Ottawa on Nov. 17 for a performance at the NAC. this,� Doyle added. One of the songs he personally prizes is Where I Belong, a ballad Doyle characterizes as having special meaning to him because it speaks to where he is from - a place which shaped him and gave him courage to chase his dream. “It’s about home in the capital ‘H’

sense, to know you have a home to go,� he said. “There is nothing quite like it.� The creation of Boy on Bridge took him from the bustling streets of Toronto to the country-strong empire of Nashville – with a little help along the way. The documentary, produced by Take

a compilation album of both pop and folk songs. When Doyle reflects, it all seems so surreal. “Yeah, I’m still here,� he joked. Boy on Bridge is set to air on CMT Canada this Friday (Nov. 8) night at 9 p.m. ET/PT, and Great Big Sea will be performing at the NAC on Sunday, Nov. 17. They’re also performing to a sold out crowd in Brockville on Saturday, Nov. 16 at the Brockville Arts Centre.

Arts – There is a scene in Alan Doyle’s documentary where the Canadian musician tosses rocks over a bridge. It is the same bridge he stood on numerous times as a youngster in his hometown of Petty Harbour, NL, often wondering where life would take him. Fast forward to the present and Doyle is the lead singer of the muchloved Canadian folk-rock band Great Big Sea, while simultaneously experiencing his first solo music career. But it didn’t come without its waves of highs and lows. A feature-length documentary, entitled Boy on Bridge, shows the audience a raw portrayal of Doyle as a musician apart from his role in Great Big Sea. Doyle said he hopes those who watch it understand his drive and passion for music. “It would be great if people could look at it and see the wanderlust and curiousity that I have, and see where it came from, and how grateful I am because of it,� he said. The title of the album is a nod to a film credit he was given during his childhood when he was asked to be an extra for TV movie A Whale for the Killing, filmed partly in Petty Harbour. The idea of pursuing a solo career had been brewing for some time, he said, and ultimately saw the musician tap into his love of classic rock and country music while exercising his musical imagination over a two-year period. Some of the recording was actually done on Doyle’s laptop. “There’s always something that has to be heard or something that needs to be said,� he said. Doyle said while he knows how to play some instruments, such as the guitar, mandolins and percussion, all of which he played on the album. He also played instruments he’s been learning, such as the banjo, piano, and accordion. “I’m very much still a student of music,� he said. “All my life, I’ve wanted to do

the Shot Productions Inc., sees Doyle teaming up with musical legends and friends to shape the album, including Newfoundland folk singer-songwriter Ron Hynes, Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo, indie artist Hawksley Workman, his Robin Hood and Republic of Doyle co-star Scott Grimes, Grammy awardwinning Gordie Sampson, notable television composer Mike Post, and good friend and long-time musical partner Russell Crowe. His first film credit back in Petty Harbour would be the first one on his actor’s list. The musician-turned-actor now has a few more under his belt, such as playing Allan A’Dayle, one of Crowe’s Merry Men in the 2010 Ridley Scott-directed movie Robin Hood, as well as recurring tough guy and undercover cop Wolf Redmond in the CBCproduced and Newfoundland-based hit action TV show, Republic of Doyle. He also has a role in Crowe’s 2014 film, Winter’s Tale, as Dingy – a thief. Doyle was just recently named to play the villain Senator Gideon Robertson in a film adaptation of Strike!, a musical stage production that brings the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike to life. He’s also produced albums for actor Russell Crowe and Juno Award winners The Irish Descendants, and delivered soundtracks for the movie Young Triffie’s Been Made Away With, and the television series Hatching, Matching, & Dispatching. When not on stage, Doyle is in high demand as a producer and arranger, sharing his love for music with many across Canada and around the world. Doyle said the band always looks forward to coming back to Ottawa, a city, he said, which has always supported the band and brought out thousands of fans looking to have a good time. Great Big Sea is widely known for playing lively rock interpretations of sea shanties and original feel-good songs such as Ordinary Day, Consequence Free, I Am King, End of the World, and island jigs including Paddy Murphy, Lukey’s Boat, and Captain Kidd, just to name a few. In celebration of their 20th anniversary as a band, they recently released

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

War Amps marks 95th anniversary this year DEAR EDITOR: I belong to Operation Legacy, a group of members of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program dedicated to preserving Canada’s military heritage and teaching other young people how to carry on the remembrance message. This year, The War Amps is celebrating a major anniversary. Ninetyfive years ago, First World War amputee veterans formed The Amputations Association of the Great War. The name was changed to The War Amputations of Canada when Second World War amputees joined their ranks. These men later started the CHAMP Program to assist young amputees like me. In addition to having had the privilege of learning about Canada’s military heritage from a young age, I also know what it is like to live without a limb – a strong bond that I share with war amputee veterans. Because of this, I feel it is my duty to ensure that the stories of war are preserved and its lessons never forgotten. Operation Legacy is a commitment to preserving our national mili-

tary heritage, and by doing so, we honour the men and women who have fought for us – even given their lives – to protect our rights and freedoms. And by passing on the stories of horror that these heroes have endured, it reminds us that war is something we never wish to face again. We remember that is better to choose peace over war and that standing up for what we believe in is what makes us Canadians. Champs in Operation Legacy wish to spread this message not only to the adults whose parents perhaps lived through war, or left a war-torn country to come to Canada, but also our youth, as they will be the ones who need to pass on the remembrance to the next generation so that we ensure that the legacy of our veterans is never forgotten. I encourage everyone – particularly young people – to learn more through The War Amps Military Heritage Series documentaries, which are available at a cost-recovery price at waramps.ca.

Food for thought Editorial – The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit released the results of their Nutritious Food Basket costing for 2013 and it certainly gives some food for thought. This is something done by all public health units in Ontario where the price of 67 food items is calculated from grocery stores in the tri-county area. The results put into perspective just how much it can take to feed a family of four (two adults and two children). They found that the cost is $178 per week or $772 per month, which reflects a nine per cent jump in the cost of food since 2010. We are all aware the cost of living has gone up, whether it’s a heat or hydro bill or the price of gas at the pumps. Part of the problem is that as families get bigger and costs grow, salaries don’t often rise along with them. According to the health unit, it becomes more difficult not only to purchase food but make healthy choices while also trying to pay rent and find the money for transportation. In fact, a 2011 Canadian Community Health Survey noted that 9.3 per cent of people in the tri-county said they couldn’t afford to put all the food they needed on the table. That’s why it’s so important to support local food banks and organizations such as the Salvation Army. While food banks are always in need of donations, as the holidays near, they are experiencing a much greater strain on their inventory. One of the largest seasonal initiatives, the Build a Mountain of Food Drive recently had its launch for another year and will be out at grocery stores throughout the area in November and December to collect food items for those who need it. They will be set up in Carleton Place, Almonte, Perth, Lanark, Smiths Falls, Westport, Elgin, Portland, Merrickville, Athens and Delta. Consider donating a few cans of non-perishable food items or filling a bag for your local food bank. Pay it forward. You never know when you may need their services.

Remembrance Day held in high regard for Mary and family Lifestyle – Mother was always concerned that we five children didn’t have the proper respect for the true meaning of Remembrance Day. The school at Northcote with only 18 pupils, had no piano, and the few county officials were already involved with the ceremony in the town of Renfrew, and so there was little in the way of observance at the school. For this reason, Mother, each year, piled all of us into the Model T and headed into town, where, as she put it, there would be a proper and fitting ceremony to remember those who had fallen in the First World War. Mother’s three young brothers had all been in the army, even though Mother said they weren’t old enough to vote, but they were old enough to fight in the war. By the way Mother talked about her brothers, I wondered if they perhaps had won the war singlehandedly! Without fail, the weather was always dreadful on Remembrance Day. We would drive through freezing rain or snow, it seemed, and at a very young

age, I wondered if the terrible weather had something mysterious to do with the somberness of the day. And so when we headed into Renfrew, we were bundled up like mummies, with hats and mitts, and winter boots. We certainly wouldn’t have the luxury of wearing slacks on such a day, and even though I usually hated them with a passion, I was very grateful for the heavy navy blue fleece-lined bloomers over our long underwear and long beige ribbed stockings. But it never mattered how much clothes we had on, there was always a piercing wind rolling down Raglan Street where the parade took place at the war memorial, and it penetrated our bodies and had us shivering like leaves on tree. The children from the Renfrew schools always marched to the place where the ceremony was to be held. We five country children were very aware that we weren’t really a part of a group, but that certainly didn’t matter to our mother.

She would wait until the town school pupils had formed perfect lines, neither looking left or right, and then she would march the five of us right up to the front row, and position us so that we were actually an extension of the line-up of town kids. My older sister Audrey was most embarrassed, but her protests did nothing to sway our Mother. The town children had sheets of music, and we would shudder in embarrassment when we would see Mother walk right over to a teacher, whisper in her ear, and then point to us, and then we would see her head back to us with five sheets of music!

prehension, someone from the town ranks of pupils always fainted. Just as sure as death and taxes, as soon as the person leading the program opened his mouth, one or two would topple over. If the overcome person was a girl, the teacher would rush up, fan her with the sheet music, and if that didn’t help, she would be carried off with her eyes rolled into the back of her head. But if it was a boy pupil who had succumbed to the pressures of the day and toppled over, he was left to lie there until he either revived on his own, or the ceremony ended. Emerson said, on the way home, “those Renfrew kids are a sickly lot...certainly none of us ever fell over in a dead faint.” After all the war songs had been sung, out of the crowd would come a very old man with a shiny trumpet tucked under his arm. He would walk the full length of the parade area, and he wore a soldier’s uniform that obviously had been borrowed.

covered legs. He was very elderly, and Mother, ever the one to add drama to any situation, said he probably fought in the Boer War. He played the trumpet loud and clear as a bell, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd! The Renfrew children were the first to march off the parade grounds, and Emerson, not to be outdone by kids from town, turned on the heal of his gum-rubbers, and with his arms swinging, marched back down the street to where Mother had parked the Model T. On the road back to Northcote we would be subjected once again to Mother’s stories of how her own brothers went off to war, and often her voice would catch with the memory. But we knew she was filled with pride, and I too would be caught up in the stories, and would think of those uncles, who returned safely from battle, and unscarred...and I would think I was related to true war heroes. And then I would know, even though I was very young, why Remembrance Day was so important to our mother. • Advertising rates and terms and conditions are according to the rate card in effect at time advertising published. • The advertiser agrees that the publisher shall not be liable for damages arising out of errors in advertisements beyond the amount charged for the space actually occupied by that portion of the advertisement in which the error occurred, whether such error is due to negligence of its servants or otherwise... and there shall be no liability for non-insertion of any advertisement beyond the amount charged for such advertisement. • The advertiser agrees that the copyright of all advertisements prepared by the Publisher be vested in the Publisher and that those advertisements cannot be reproduced without the permission of the Publisher. • The Publisher reserves the right to edit, revise or reject any advertisement.

Insecticide linked to mass die-off of bees throughout Ottawa Valley derek.dunn@metroland.com

Dust is kicked up from a field tilled in Dunrobin. Grain farmers and beekeepers agree neonicotinoids are killing insects in mass numbers. They disagree whether “planter dust” is doing it or the crops – contaminated throughout – are poisoning them during pollination. Carleton between Pakenham and Arnprior. He has been an apiculturist since the mid 1970s when he took over his father-in-law’s farm. It supplements his income, along with driving a bus and one-time pursuits such as lambing. But beekeeping didn’t supplement his income last winter. “It was a wake up call,” said Polk, who is happy to produce 30,000 pounds of honey a year. He managed just 2,000 this year. “I’ve never experienced anything like this before.” Polk is aware of the neonicotinoids debate. He has mixed feelings over farming practices. On the one hand, he knows they must grow more and more efficient to keep up with the competition, including the use of pesticides. On the other hand, he says the relentless pursuit of profit at all costs is having a devastating affect on the natural world. “Farming has changed completely in my lifetime. They don’t even cultivate anymore,” he said. “They are perfecting the bottom line today, but maybe not tomorrow.” However, the die-off on Polk’s property this year had no direct link to neonicotinoids. It was the combination of a Varroa mite infestation and extreme weather. “We didn’t use enough treatment to solve the problem,” he said. “In July we had a cool period. And they never made honey after that.” Others would say neonicotinoids played an indirect role in the decima-

tion. After many years of usage, industrial insecticides are omnipresent: in water, soil, plants and animals such as bees. It could make them more susceptible to parasites and fungi. Polk accepts that the science isn’t out on a cause, but conventional wisdom tells him that the two don’t mix. “I think it’s a contamination but I don’t have any proof of that. There’s a lot of research to do, a lot of unknowns right now,” Polk said. “All I know is that pesticides and bees don’t mix well together. DuPont and Monsanto (companies) do lots of research, but nobody knows the long term.” Beekeepers are anxious for a solution to stave of future losses. Farmers are unwilling to change the status quo for fear of losing profit. That may seem like a strict dichotomy. But according to the Arnprior area’s vice president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, Debra Pretty-Straathof, it is more complex. Those who farm corn and soya use neonicotinoids. They are predominately in south western Ontario. Farmers in the Ottawa Valley area include those who require pollination, either because they are growing vegetables or feeding animals on food that flowered. “You will have polar opposites in any group, but we are trying to work together,” Pretty-Straathof said. “Neither side wants to wipe out the other. Everybody wants to help (bees) but

News – About 30 per cent of bee colonies were lost last spring; the second year in a row for mass die-offs. The federal government has linked large-scale farming practices to the decline of insects that pollinate $2 billion worth of fruit and vegetables every year. In September Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) issued to farmers a series of recommendations against certain insecticides known as neonicotinoids. Is it enough to recommend against the usage of neonicotinoids? Dwight Foster is a farmer in North Gower. He’s been scratching a living off the land for many years. A grain farmer with 4,000 acres – and a feed lot with 1,500 head of cattle – Foster can’t underestimate how crucial insecticides are to his operation. “The seed treatment is very important for the development of the crops,” said Foster, a man of few words. He said there is no reason to rush to judgment on neonicotinoids; that very little science has been done on the issue in Canada. He wonders if insecticides are killing the bees or something else or a combination of multiple factors. Health Canada blamed last year’s dieoff to weather: one cold snap at the wrong time could devastate colonies. Then there’s exotic mites and fungi shipped in unwittingly or otherwise from far flung parts of the world that attack native bees. Or even if it is insecticide-related, at which point in the farming process do neonicotinoids attack them? Foster’s point is that no one at this stage can say for sure. And for him, the stakes are too high to act without certainty: a neonicotinoid ban would be a deal-breaker. “There’s no reason to throw the baby out with the bath water,” he said. “Without another product in place that does what it does, it would be huge disaster.” Many large-scale farm operations are highly efficient but deeply susceptible to unravelling at the slightest change. Expensive equipment needs to be paid for through expected high yields. The slow eating away at profit that nature caused in the past is, today, replaced by a solid defence against losses – thanks in large part to insecticides. Beekeeper Arnold Polk lives in West

be ingesting them. Health Canada regulators have proposed better labelling on insecticides and require farmers to implement safer seed planting practices. Those moves aren’t enough for beekeepers, who are fewer in number and therefore hold less clout over lawmakers. Another year of mass die-offs could harbour untold calamity for many common foods such as: apples, onions, pears, beans, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, common peppers, eggplant, tomatoes and much more. However, at this stage it doesn’t seem those welding power are willing to move any time soon. CarletonMississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren is a farmer, and sold seed to farmers throughout the region. He lauds the effectiveness of neonicotinoids while reserving judgement until further study is done. “It is commonly used on corn seed to protect against insects and disease. It does work. It helps farmers,” MacLaren said. “Canada has very stringent rules about pesticides.” Still, if further studies show them to be harmful to bees or other animals, MacLaren said he has no problem with an outright ban.

nobody wants to have a knee-jerk solution.” She said it is widely accepted among farmers that neonicotinoids are a cause. What is less certain, at least from the beekeepers side, is at what point the insecticides affect pollinators. PMRA is studying contaminated “planter dust.” The hypothesis states that a coating of insecticide on each seed comes off during the farming process. It creates a dust cloud that bees fly though, causing them to ingest the neonicotinoids and die. Anecdotal claims from southern Ontario on this theory reached Polk. “He (a beekeeper) said when (bees) were coming back through the cornfield they were falling like rain, and were in some kind of paralysis state,” Polk said. “They’ve lost hundreds of colonies of bees.” Critics say inhalation of dust plays a less significant role than does consumption. Neonicotinoids could be fused into the seed and, over many years, the soil, and taken up by the plant through the soil to kill insects feeding on them. Ponds and other water spots could be chemical soups after this many years of using insecticides too, adding to chances bees could

Coalition of book lovers bringing one-man show to Perth Arts – Bookworm, the highly acclaimed one-man show that celebrates a love of books, libraries and reading-forpleasure and has brought audiences to their feet in theatres across Canada, will be staged at the Studio Theatre in Perth in a special one-night only presentation on Sunday, Nov. 24 at 7:30 p.m. Written by and featuring Canadian songwriter and actor Corin Raymond, Bookworm is a powerfully moving story of the love shared between a father and son in tragic circumstances and the love of books and storytelling that transcends tensions between them and the adversities they face. MERA director Danny Sullivan, who spearheaded a campaign to bring the production to Perth, said “Bookworm is the kind of show that will make a nonreader want to go and look up stories from Greek mythology and peruse the fiction shelves at the library. At the same time, it will make a book-lover want to go and check out Spiderman.” “I first saw Bookworm at the Kingston Public Library last year, and I thought it was the best thing I’d ever seen in a library. I knew it was something that should come to Perth,” said Sullivan. Although, the Perth and District Union Public Library had heard about the show and were interested in it, they don’t have a space for large public presentations, such as most big-city libraries have. So Sullivan went to work putting together a coalition of sponsors to bring Bookworm to the Studio Theatre, including MERA, Perth & District Union Public Library, the Friends of the Library, the Humm and Backbeat Books and Music. Bookworm is a show that will appeal to all ages. “When I saw it in Kingston, a good proportion of the audience were highschool aged, and you could tell that they were spellbound from the very opening line, like everyone else in the room,” he said. “It appeals naturally to book lovers, but you don’t have to be a book-lover to be inspired by it – though it should come with a warning that it might turn you into a book-lover. Like any good theatrical presentation, though, it is centered around a story.” Bookworm is the story of a father reading to his son, growing up in a library, plus Spiderman, Ray Bradbury, and meeting the Minotaur for the first time just outside Wawa. Storytelling that has comedy, drama, plenty of beauty and life-inspiration, and a climax no one could possibly predict, all wrapped into one powerfully moving act. Dramaturged by TJ Dawe and directed by Morgan Jones Phillips Bookworm was first produced at the Hamilton Fringe Festival in the summer of 2011, and was an immediate hit, winning awards at fringe festivals across Canada, including the London Fringe Festival’s Producer’s Award and Pick of the Fringe at Vancouver’s Fringe. Since then, it has been staged in theatres, public libraries and at storyteller’s and writers festivals, to universally enthusiastic reviews: “Corin Raymond is a storyteller who by the end of the night you’ll have known all your life.” – Brad Wheeler, The Globe and Mail “What a gift. In this one-man show... Corin Raymond recalls a childhood surrounded by his father’s books, which offered comfort, reassurance, and escape from unusually lonely circumstances... Raymond has impeccable timing, and his performance is at once intimate,

openhearted, and evangelical: ‘Reading aloud to someone is a way to cross souls,’ he effuses, making you ache to return to your favourite books, recite poems from memory, and read aloud to someone you love.” – Kathleen Oliver, Georgia Straight, Sept. 6, 2012 “An ode to books and the people who love them, Raymond cleverly mixes everyday autobiography with an inherited love of what lies between the covers of his favourite books. A true story told with passion and grace, Bookworm is for anyone who loves to read, and reread, beloved books. Really, don’t miss this one.” – John Threlfall, CVV Magazine, Aug. 25 to 28, 2012 “Powered by the man’s warmth and wit...Raymond is a natural storyteller... he’s pleasant and accessible...like the guy you might meet in a bookstore on a rainy afternoon, that wants to talk books...Magic.” (4 Suns) – Colin MacLean, Edmonton Sun, Aug. 21, 2012 “Some storytellers leave you gaping, forgetful of your surroundings and only wanting more. Corin Raymond is this storyteller. It’s well-paced, wellperformed and will have you heading to the first bookstore as you leave the theatre...” (4 stars) – Samantha Power, Vue Weekly, Aug. 20, 2012 Raymond was a guest on CBC radio’s The Next Chapter with Sheelagh Rogers, where he explained that so many books get mentioned in Bookworm that he has produced an appendix itemizing Submitted photo all of the books, stories, poems and other titles referred to in the show. Canadian songwriter and actor Corin Raymond, above, will bring his “I’d come out the show and talk to acclaimed one-man show, Bookworm, to Perth’s Studio Theatre Sun- someone and I’d see they’d been writing day, Nov. 24. on their arm, so I have an appendix that

I can send to people,” Raymond said. Aside from his Bookworm performances, Corin Raymond is a singersongwriter known as one half of the Toronto-based duo The Undesirables. Paper Nickels, his recent live recording with backing band, The Sundowners, was released on two CDs as part of a 144-page hardcover book and made headlines across North-America for Raymond’s unique scheme to fund the recording by collecting thousands of dollars in Canadian-Tire money, enthusiastically donated by fans, friends, strangers and schoolchildren. Born in Winnipeg MB, and raised in southern Ontario, Raymond keeps ties between the two cities close to his heart and throughout his songs, while his career continues to be inspired by a dialogue between them. Raymond grew up in northern Ontario, learning to appreciate the small time from his dad, who raised him after his mother died. His father was a librarian, high-school teacher and bookseller. The pair lived in northern Ontario, north of Ear Falls, near Red Lake. “He exposed me to a lot of culture when I was growing up,” Raymond recalled. “He taught me to love books, theatre and film.” Bookworm is presented at the Studio Theatre in Perth, for one night only, on Sunday, Nov. 24 at 7:30 p.m. Admission is $15 and advance tickets are available from Tickets Please, 39 Foster St. in Perth (Jo’s Clothes), by phone at 613-485-6434 or online at www.ticketsplease.ca.

Local municipalities to receive source protection grants News – Several municipalities are part of 24 in total who will receive source protection grants totaling at least $1,472,771 to help them implement local actions to protect drinking water sources. This is part of the province’s commitment of $13.5 million over the next three years to help support small, rural municipalities implement their source protection plans. Source protection planning was a recommendation of the Walkerton Inquiry. In 2000, seven people died and more than 2,000 became sick after drinking contaminated water supplied by the Walkerton

Drinking Water System. “We are taking care with source-totap protection of drinking water so we never have another Walkerton,” said Environment Minister Jim Bradley. Municipalities across the province are taking steps to protect wellhead areas and water intake zones such as upgrading fuel tanks to provide more protective spill containment and engineering stream banks to protect water from run-off and erosion. Grants range from $18,000 to $100,000. Municipalities have already worked with their partners to identify significant drinking water threats and complete source water protec-

tion plans. Municipalities receiving funding include: County of Lanark ($43,204); Town of Carleton Place ($61,331); Town of Mississippi Mills ($58,568); Town of Perth ($68,694); Town of Smiths Falls ($50,000); Township of Montague ($63,888); Township of Beckwith ($59,534); Township of Elizabethtown-Kitley ($67,016); Township of Rideau Lakes ($62,472); Township of Tay Valley ($54,634); Municipality of North Grenville ($57,518); United Counties of Leeds and Grenville ($52,061); Village of Westport ($73,954); and Village of Merrickville-Wolford ($67,708). Municipalities may be eligible for

an additional collaboration incentive of up to $15,000 if they collaborate with other municipalities: • $5,000 for collaborating with one or two other municipalities • $10,000 for collaborating with three other municipalities • $15,000 for collaborating with four or more municipalities Municipalities will also develop education and outreach programs about threats to their local drinking water supplies and best practices for dealing with these threats. There are 19 source protection regions across the province.

Upper Canada District School Board asks for increase in bus sharing News – The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) and its students have benefitted from increased efficiency by the Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario (STEO) busing consortium. However, trustees recommended the consortium improve its operations even more. Members passed a resolution Oct. 23 asking STEO to undertake a feasibility study to accomplish the consortium’s shared busing targets in a shorter period of time. Statistics released at the board’s regular meeting Oct. 23 suggest the overall capacity rate of buses contracted by STEO is extremely high and that the use of shared vehicles is rising – indicating that UCDSB students are benefiting from an improving operation, said 1st vice-chair Jeff McMillan.

“Staff members at STEO are really working hard to be as efficient as they can,” said McMillan. “We are seeing real growth.” STEO is a consortium established between the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) and the UCDSB to administer transportation. STEO transports 35,000 students daily. Statistics provided by STEO and presented at the meeting by McMillan indicate the use of shared busing through the consortium has increased. The number of students riding shared routes has risen from 2.5 per cent last year to seven per cent of the bused population. It represents an increase from 875 last year to 2,500 students this year. Shared busing means that students from both boards

are riding on the same bus at the same time. The number of students riding double bus routes has also increased from eight per cent to 18 per cent of the bused population. This represents an increase in students riding double routes from 2,800 last year to 6,300 this school year. A “double route” means that a single bus accomplishes one run carrying students from one board, then accomplishes a second run carrying students from the other board. Among the other ways the board has benefitted through its participation in the consortium is that STEO has a vehicle capacity rate of 80 per cent. The high rate indicates that STEO is utilizing its fleet effectively. Over the next five years, the goal of

THE EMC - 10 - Thursday, November 7, 2013

STEO is to increase double route busing to 50 per cent of all students transported, and to increase students riding at the same time, same bus to 25 per cent of the bused population. While board members conceded that STEO is improving its operations, trustee Lisa Swan proposed the motion to see if efficiencies could be increased even more. Committee of the Whole also recommended that the Upper Canada District School Board recognize the International Day for People with Disabilities on Dec. 3. The busing matter will come before the board for further discussion on Nov. 13. Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.

Many benefits to using rain barrels Community – Rainbarrels are beautiful because they‌ • Store and distribute clean, chemical-free water at no cost • Reduce erosion and sediment loading in local streams/lakes by reducing runoff from your property • Promote infiltration of water into the ground to replenish our groundwater supply • Decrease your water bill if your drinking water is metered It only makes sense to save and use what Mother Nature gives us rather than making the expensive municipal drinking water system or your private well work hard to produce water for gardening. Capturing rainwater In the past two years, the Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation and our local partners have sold 870 barrels at four partnered sales in the watershed. The foundation and the local partners each earned some money for community activities. In addition to that, we know that each barrel captures 220 litres (L) of rainwater per storm event which is then used by the householder in the garden (infiltrating the water into the ground). During each storm event, our 870 barrels capture about 191,000 L of rainwater and stop it from running directly into the surrounding watercourses (a good thing). If we assume six storms per growing season, it means that a total of 1.1 million L of rainwater is diverted from a nasty career of direct runoff

into a much more honorable role of producing flowers, vegetables and kitchen herbs. If we further add the hundreds of other rain barrels sold by other groups in the Rideau Valley, it is reasonable to imagine literally millions more litres of potentially damaging runoff being diverted from the Rideau system for use in beautiful gardens every year. This is indeed a very good thing. Winterizing your rain barrel Now that Thanksgiving’s past and the outdoor furniture is cleaned up (using rain barrel water) and safely tucked away for another season, it’s time to “winterizeâ€? your trusty old rain barrel for longer life and better performance in four easy steps: • Disconnect the eavestrough downspout from the barrel (don’t forget to reconnect a downspout extension to funnel water away from house foundations) • Empty and rinse the rain barrel • Keep the screen, the valves and the hose together in one box • S tore the barrel upside down either outside or in your garage or basement. If you don’t have a rain barrel yet, especially at the cottage, you can pick them up very inexpensively at one of the conservation foundation’s rain barrel sales in late spring 2014.

Cheri Barton has Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) which is one of the most common, life threatening genetic diseases for which there is no treatment and no cure – it threatens the lives of every generation of every family living with the disease. Multiple cysts grow in the kidneys and may, along with other major symptoms, cause the development of kidney failure and the necessity of dialysis or a transplant to allow the person to live.

Local resident considers herself lucky to have cancer society transportation program By GENA GIBSON For Canadian Cancer Society of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville

News – When her husband received a cancer diagnosis in several years ago, Diane Campbell learned the importance of the Canadian Cancer Society’s transportation program. She travelled with Vernon to appointments and treatments, and saw how the volunteer drivers handled their duties with care and patience. Last year, seven years after Vernon died of cancer at the age of 68, Diane received a cancer diagnosis of her own. Living in rural Clyde Forks without a driver’s licence, she knew she would have to rely on the cancer society again. “I love them,” she said of the various drivers who had taken her to Kingston for appointments. “They’re 100-per-cent perfect.” Although Campbell will move to Kingston in mid-November at the request of her children while she undergoes several months of treatments, she has regular doctor appointments, both in Lanark and in Kingston. She said she always asks for five days’ notice, so she can give the drivers time to fit her into their schedules.

Carol Alexander of Tatlock is one of her regular volunteer drivers, and is, according to Diane, “the best thing since sliced bread.” When Alexander was a teacher in Almonte, she taught one of Diane’s children, and now they have created a closer bond through the volunteer-driver program. “It doesn’t matter who I’ve had (driving me),” she stressed. “I just can’t believe how perfect they are – I don’t know how to describe it. “I just appreciate it.” Diane started using the drivers last year, when doctors found cancer between her bladder and her uterus. She had chemotherapy and radiation, and will start chemotherapy treatments in November with a new drug, Yervoy, used to treat melanoma that has spread to other parts of the body. “I consider myself so lucky to have the volunteer drivers,” she stressed. She said that Vernon asked for all donations to go to the volunteer-driver program of the Canadian Cancer Society, and she plans to do the same in her will. She also plans to donate to the Wheels of Hope campaign, which is a fundraising campaign that runs from September to December. Money

raised goes to fund the Canadian Cancer Society’s local transportation program, which is a no-charge service to clients that will take them to and from cancer-related appointments. Diane said the drivers she has are all personable and friendly, and happy to wait at appointments or be available by telephone when the appointment ends. The Canadian Cancer Society’s Lanark, Leeds and Grenville community office covers the area from Gananoque to Cardinal, as well as Lanark County and everything in between. Last year, the transportation program filled 3,560 requests, with drivers covering 299, 518 kilometres to take 339 local clients to their appointments. The program in the tri-county unit cost more than $84,200, as the average cost to take one patient to a round-trip appointment is $60 due to the distances that clients need to travel compared to those in other parts of Ontario. If you would like to help get a local cancer patient to their cancer treatments you can donate to the Wheels of Hope program by calling 613-2671058 or 1-800-367-2913.

The board’s Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP), and that of the coterminous board, will host Living the Skilled Life, from Nov. 18 to 22 at the University of Guelph, Kemptville Campus. The event will encourage females in Grade 10 to enter the trades by exposing them to a learning experience in horticulture, welding, and truck and coach diesel mechanic. “There’s a real shortage of tradespeople in Ontario,” said Alex MacDougall, OYAP facilitator for the UCDSB. “Four out of ten new jobs over the next twenty years will be in the trades.

Mudds’ youth performers serve up admirable work in Othello ice’ is actually based on a short story by an Italian author. The play revolves around four main characters. Othello, the namesake lead, is a general in the service of Venice. Female performers in male roles dominated the Mudds’ effort. Dayna Stone, as Othello, had a very difficult task with the dialogue-heavy role and handled it admirably. The other central characters are Othello’s new wife Desdemona (Leah West), his lieutenant Cassio (Katie Irvine) and his trusted ensign Iago (Hayley Fortier). Clearly there was a shortage of males willing to tackle such demanding roles. But the young ladies in this production did a good job. Special mention must be made of Fortier’s efforts as Iago. Hers was the most difficult role of all and she handled it flawlessly. So much to say and such a good job saying it! I didn’t detect a single miss and if there was any prompting I couldn’t detect it. The Cole’s Notes

version of the play is as follows. The highly ambitious Iago becomes jealous when Othello promotes Michael Cassio to be his personal aide. He plots against the hero. After Othello elopes with the lovely Desdemona the plot (and plotting) thickens. Murder afoot A dropped handkerchief is central to the story. Othello is tricked into becoming jealous of his beloved Desdemona. As his rage grows he plans to kill her. Murder is afoot as the story reaches its climax. Othello returns to the castle to kill his innocent wife (he eventually smothers her to death). Emilia, Iago’s wife and Desdemona’s devoted maidservant, eventually tells Othello the truth about her (Emilia’s) scheming husband. Regular Mudds’ youth performer Candice Burn also deserves to be singled out for her work as Emilia. She not only handled the demands of the dialogue well but she has a very expressive face.

Her strong effort stood out to me. Evan Sauve as the luckless Roderigo also turned in a solid effort. Roderigo, who lusts after Desdemona, is killed by Iago when the attempted assassination of Cassio (Irvine) fails. I made note that with such an impressive voice Sauve may have a lead role in his future? Besides the main six characters a supporting cast of nine helped make this staging a success. I was also impressed with the brief, but sultry performance, turned in by Lydia Charron as Bianca, Cassio’s jealous lover. As the play reaches its bloody, tragic conclusion a flurry of madness sees Othello deliberately wound Iago. He decides he would rather make Iago suffer in pain rather than finishing him off. Both face punishment for the murders they commit. The conclusion comes suddenly when Othello, wracked with guilt after learning of Desdemona’s innocence, commits suicide with a dagger he

has concealed. Credit to director Mark Piper (he also directed Macbeth two years ago), producer Wendy Jewell and associate producer Janice Bowie (another Mudds’ regular) for bringing this cast together and coaching them so well. Shakespeare’s work is short on scenery and long on discourse. When I think of Othello, I always recall the brilliant work of the late, great African-American actor, singer, athlete and activist Paul Robeson. The staging of Othello on Broadway, with Robeson in the lead, was the longest running production of a Shakespeare

play ever staged along the “Great White Way.” There’s no question the popular play was a major undertaking for a youth theatre troupe. But somehow I think Robeson – and Shakespeare – would be proud of the effort put forth by this young cast in Carleton Place, Ontario more than 400 years after Othello was penned. The production concluded with matinee and evening performances Saturday. For complete information on the Mississippi Mudds and their upcoming shows visit the website: www.mississippimudds. ca.

Arts – The Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre in Carleton Place took on a major challenge this fall, tackling Shakespeare’s timeless ‘Othello.’ The young actors did a more than credible job of presenting the classic tale of love, jealousy, betrayal and murder. The only downside is that more people didn’t line up for tickets to see the four performances staged in the historic Carleton Place Town Hall Auditorium. I will admit that I went to last Friday’s presentation with no particular expectations. Although Othello is often performed by community theatre groups, it is a challenge for a relatively new youth troupe. Mudds Youth Theatre only began staging productions here in 2009. In fall 2011 the fledgling company presented Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’, also a difficult assignment. During the showing of Macbeth I attended the cast worked hard but needed quite a bit of help from

the prompters and experienced some jitters in front of a full house. Hardly surprising given the depth of the material! A smaller audience was on hand for the second of four presentations of Othello last Friday. Just like Macbeth the young Mudds performed in the round, operating on the auditorium floor with a minimum of costumes and props. I left the theatre very impressed. This was a modern telling of the tragic story, something we have come to expect as directors and performers drop the old English and bring William Shakespeare’s wonderful work into the mainstream. One good example is the contemporary film telling of the bard’s popular comedy ‘Much Ado About Nothing.’ Director Joss Whedon’s 2013 movie stars Amy Acker and Alexis Denisof. Anyone familiar with Othello knows it’s pretty heavy going! Believed to have been written in 1603, ‘The Tragedy of Othello: Moor of Ven-

Famous author Alice Munro has Lanark County connection Lifestyle – Last week I spent an enjoyable afternoon interviewing two sisters who are very proud of a famous cousin of theirs and would like more people to know about her connection to this region. Eleanor Henderson and Irene Papworth (nee Chamney) are first cousins of Alice Munro who, on Oct. 10, became the first Canadian woman ever to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. Munro, 82, a native of Wingham, Ontario is just the 13th woman to win the award sponsored by the Swedish society since it was inaugurated 112 years ago. During the awards announcement in Stockholm, Munro was praised as “the master of the contemporary short story.” Her body of fictional work goes back to 1968 and her highly acclaimed first collection of short stories entitled ‘Dance of the Happy Shades.’ She has written many outstanding short story collections since then. Most are set in her native Huron County. Wingham is 50 kilometres from the Lake Huron town of Goderich. Munro’s strong regional focus is considered one of the strengths of her fiction. She currently lives in Clinton, Ontario not far from her hometown. Although the Nobel Prize is undoubtedly her greatest honour, the author also captured the 2009 Man Brooker International Prize (from the UK based Man Group) in recognition of her body of work. In Canada Munro is a three-time winner of the Governor General’s Award for fiction. She has also won other awards presented by organizations in Canada, the

United States and France. In early October she was named as the 2013 recipient of the $25,000 Harbourfest Festival Prize presented by the Toronto International Festival of Authors. Munro told CBC News that she had always considered winning the Nobel Prize “one of those pipe dreams that might happen but probably wouldn’t.” Unfortunately the writer’s health has been poor in recent years and media reports say she is unlikely to attend the actual award presentation ceremony scheduled for Stockholm on Dec. 10. The Nobel Prize, one of the most prestigious in

the literary world, carries a cash prize of eight million Swedish kroner, about $1.2 million US. Little wonder her cousins here are so proud of her. Munro’s accomplishments stand with those of the very best writers in history. She is often called “the English Chekhov.” Munro’s mother was Anne Clarke Chamney. She, Henderson and Papworth share a grandfather, the late George Chamney. Their grandmother Bertha (nee Stanley) was a school teacher. The Chamney girls grew up on the family farm at Scotch Corners on the west side of Mississippi

Lake, 12 km southwest of Carleton Place. The descendants of Irish immigrants the ladies’ great grandfather Edward secured a land grant in Lanark County. Munro’s great grandparents and later her grandparents farmed for decades. Edward Chamney married Ann Code which means the Chamneys, Codes and Stanleys are all related. Among the descendants

are a number of Codes who currently live in Carleton Place and district. Early life Munro’s mother Anne, who also became a schoolteacher, met and married Robert Eric Laidlaw a fox and mink farmer. Earlier in the family history, with opportunities to secure land in Eastern Ontario waning, members of the Code family moved to Huron County, settling near Wingham. It was there that another descendant, Alice Munro, grew up and attended school. She published her first short story as a teenager. Alice went on to study

English and journalism at the University of Western Ontario in nearby London. There she met fellow student James Munro. She left school to marry him. The young couple headed west, first to Vancouver and then, in 1963, to Victoria on Vancouver Island where they opened a book store. Eleanor Henderson notes that the store, which helped revive her cousin’s interest in writing, is still operating. The Munro’s had four children, one of whom died in infancy. They eventually divorced and Alice moved back to Ontario. She later married Gerald Fremlin, a World War II air force veteran who worked as a geographer and cartographer. Fremlin died in April of this year. Henderson, who continued the family tradition by becoming a school teacher, married Eldon Henderson who later served as the mayor of Carleton Place in the 1970s. The couple also had four children. Eleanor has followed her famous cousin’s writing career from afar. Munro did spend some summers at the family farm near Scotch Corners, but Henderson was too young to remember that. Munro herself does remember however! She told Henderson’s oldest son Scott, now the vicepresident of communications for Bell Media in Toronto (including CTV television), about meeting his mother when she (Eleanor) was very young. Scott contacted Munro by

mail when he was 14 to introduce himself. The author is too busy to be in regular contact with her extended family although she has stayed in touch with Henderson’s cousin Muriel in Perth, the daughter of her Uncle Joe Chamney. Scott Henderson’s letter prompted a Christmas message from Munro. In the letter to Eleanor she expressed delight at hearing from him. “I think Scott believes we never met,” she wrote her Carleton Place cousin. “But of course we did. I remember you when you were about six. You had blonde hair and I think brown eyes, small bones and delicate features.” Munro’s comments about his mother as a young girl surprised Scott. So much so that he wrote about it in an article he penned about Munro which was published by the Toronto Star in 2001. In the newspaper column he says he was even more surprised to learn that “many of Alice’s characters and settings were often based in reality and, in some instances, my reality too.” Scott Henderson has since met his second cousin in person. They were photographed together in 2007 at the Giller Awards ceremony in Toronto. Munro captured the 2004 Giller prize for her book ‘Runaway’ a series of short stories exploring the lives of women their loves, desires and relationships. See COLUMN page 24

This 1965 Ford Falcon has just 13,000 original miles Lifestyle – Ever notice how some stories just seem to jump right off the page? Such is the story that arrived recently from John Ziler, who lives near Ailsa Craig, a small town within easy driving distance of Sarnia,. Ontario: “I bought my 1965 Falcon three years ago. I had tried one out in 1965 but just having my first job, I couldn’t afford the monthly payments so had to settle for a Volkswagen. And now, 44 years later, I purchased this one. It has no options except an automatic and came with a 170 cubic inch six cylinder motor. When I bought it, it had just over 10,000 miles. It now has 13,000 miles on it. “It was bought new in 1965 from Eastway Ford in Hamilton and still has the original dealer sticker, owner’s manual, and sales brochure. The man who bought it new in March 1965 worked for Ford in Oakville and helped build the car. He died in December of that year and his wife put it in the garage where it stayed for 40 years. The cats were getting into the car so she put a rug over the hood. Obviously surface rust developed under the rug but the rest of the car was quite rust free. “When his wife died, the daughter gave the car to her nephew, who was going to put a V8 in it and race it. Fortunately, someone told him this would be terrible to do to such an original car. He put a new tank in it, new lines, and new tires. I just replaced the original exhaust pipe and

it still has the original brake shoes. “When I purchased it, I just wanted to have the front painted and leave the remainder original but there was no guarantee that the paint would match so I had the whole car painted in the original colour. It is a great car to service and drive and a wonderful ‘barn find.’” It’s interesting to note that John John Ziler’s 1965 Falcon 4-door sedan, still just like new! Ziler purchased a Volkswagen when he discovered he could not afford a new Falcon when he wanted one prized possessions. in 1965. It was the popularity of “She toured the farm house (then the Volkswagen in the 1950s that From page 23 owned by Wilf and Sandra Cook) and the prompted the Big Three to bring out school house,” Henderson recalls.

For her efforts Henderson received a copy of the book which her oldest sister is currently reading. Both have read Munro’s books and chuckle when referring to “the sexy bits”. Henderson admits her cousin’s writing style didn’t appeal to some residents of her hometown (Wingham) when her books first hit the market. “But now that she’s famous I think the town is very proud to be able to call her one of their own,” she says with a smile.

Road crashes impact entire community theme of day of remembrance Lifestyle – The Ontario Ministry of Transportation is launching a public awareness campaign to coincide with the National Day of Remembrance for Road Crash Victims (NDRRCV) which is taking place Nov. 20. There will be an event held in Ottawa this year to mark this date. The theme for this year is “Road crashes impact an entire community”. The series of ads and public service announcements concentrate on the four highrisk behaviors that cause the most collisions; distracted, aggressive, impaired driving and seatbelts. The common title for each campaign segment should light up your vehicle’s instrument panel at every start up: “Drive with Caution – Future Ahead”. It’s a reminder that every vehicle collision has a consequence

and it almost always involves changing someone’s future for the worse. With winter tire season upon us, my email inbox is getting filled up with questions. Here’s a few of the more common ones. What about 12-month or all-season/winter tires? These were first brought out a few years back by Good Year under the ‘Triple-Tred’ moniker and Good Year remains the main player in this segment. They carry the mountainsnowflake symbol and are certified winter tires. But at best they are a compromise between the longevity of an all-season (read summer) tire and the grip of a true winter tire. They will last slightly longer on average than a traditional winter tire, but will not get the mileage that a comparable summer tire

does. For those snow-birds that drive south for the winter, they can be a convenient alternative to driving down on snows and then switching to summers for the duration of the southern hibernation. Heavier vehicles seem to have better traction on the roads; do they still need snow tires? This one came from a reader comparing his Mazda Protégé hatchback (which was equipped with snows) to a Ford Windstar van which wore summer boots all year long. While minivans can

have better traction due to their mass and front wheel drive set up, they can still ‘break loose’ on poor road conditions and I can testify from experience that when they start to lose control, it will take a good set of tires and a lot of driving skill (that I didn’t have) and luck (that I did, I’m still here) to avoid hitting the ditch or worse. This minivan owner stated he simply drove at lower speeds on the highway when conditions were poor. While driving the correct speed for

weather and road conditions is always a great idea, being extra cautious is an admission that summer tires don’t provide the same control as winters. Tires will wear out no matter which type you have on, so putting on proper snows won’t really cost any extra. Go with the right gear for the season and that means winter tires for Canadian winters. This same reader did send along a helpful tip for finding tire bargains by searching online want ads like kijiji, for example. He correctly pointed out that when many people trade up to a new or newer vehicle, they usually have a set of snow tires (with or without rims) in their garage that

A client’s daughter recently sent me a letter. She wrote, “You actually sent an angel to me who so kindly volunteered to visit my mother, without fail, every Thursday until she passed away in July of this year. The volunteer’s visits to my mother gave me that needed break which I so appreciated. I used that free time to go to Kingston with friends for a movie and dinner or to visit my daughter and her family in Kingston, or simply a day on my own to do just as I pleased. The volunteer’s visits served a double purpose – they not only helped me, but were also especially beneficial for my mother who loved the volunteer and always looked forward

Make sure to get an exact size match as the slightest differences in sizing may mean major headaches in terms of fit on your vehicle and possible failures of anti-lock brake and/or other computer controlled vehicle systems. Another question came in regarding all-wheel drive vehicles and whether or not they presented any special challenges when it came to winter tire choices. Other than they need winter tires on every wheel just as much as a rear-wheel or front-wheel drive vehicle, there really isn’t anything special about them. Par-

Halloween enjoyed by many throughout area

Photos by JENNIFER WESTENDORP

Halloween a frightful good time Community - Kids of all ages had fun gathering candy in Oxford Mills on October 31. The village was alight with goblins and ghouls – and even a werewolf – on Halloween. The streets were filled with children delighting in the age of tradition of trick-or-treating. On the leftl, two-year-old Jack Hamilton and his big sister Tamika paired up for protection against the ghosts that loom the streets on Halloween. In the middle, for the very first time, three-year-old Jakob Dutfield braved the dark streets to gather candy. On the right, Fiveyear-old Hendrick Westendorp was brave enough to play the part of tree to a ball python, while visiting the Haunted Hall.

Spooky family Community - Halloween enthusiasts, this family spends three months setting up an elaborate haunted walk in their basement and the entire family including aunts and in-laws travels from Ottawa and Winchester to take part. The popularity of their event has encouraged them to collect donations for various charities, this year they collected $75 for the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital. As part of their elaborate Halloween walk, Alana Roche is the unfortunate having her organs removed by ghoulish surgeon Tori Cotton.

Local instructional design company, conex design, has produced a short e-learning course called, “Getting Started: The Volunteers’ Guide for Therapeutic Riding�. The course helps volunteers get a leg up before they start. It covers getting ready for volunteering, understanding the horse, grooming and tacking, and assisting the riders. Short, interactive, challenge exercises give volunteers the opportunity to practice what they learn. Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program coordinator Amy Booth said, “It’s simply awesome! I just ran through the whole thing again and I am so impressed. It was clear, concise and not at all overwhelming for newbies.� Designer Catherine Orfald offered to create the course since, “I’ve volunteered with the program for a few years. It’s a great way to work with wonderful people and horses. I wanted to offer my company’s support as well.� Catherine created the course using Claro, a rapid content authoring platform by dominKnow Learning Systems (http://www. dominknow.com/) in Perth.

LAWS annual general meeting set for this Saturday in Carleton Place Lifestyle – It is that time of year again where Lanark Animal Welfare Society hosts its annual meeting. Please join us at our annual general meeting (AGM) on Saturday, Nov. 9 to find out how the shelter has persevered over the past year and what our expectations are for the coming year. The AGM will be held at Tania’s Dance Studio, which is located at 55 Lansdowne Avenue in Carleton Place and runs from 6 to 8 p.m. that evening. The meeting is open to the public, however only those with a membership can vote. We hope to see everyone there! Contract renewed LAWS is happy to report a renewed contract with the town of Smiths Falls as of Oct. 1. This renewed contract has allowed LAWS to provide shelter and care for nine stray Smiths Falls animals since Oct. 1. We are very pleased that we are able to be a positive and active participant again in the stray animal population of Smiths Falls. We are also very pleased to report that all of the animals at the shelter are in excellent health and are only in need of their forever homes.

Young actor offers up memorable performance in Ender’s Game MOVIE: Ender’s Game STARRING: Asa Butterfield, Harrison Ford, Hailee Steinfeld, Viola Davis, Abigail Breslin and Ben Kingsley DIRECTOR: Gavin Hood RATING: PG Arts – Ender Wiggin is one of my favourite fictional characters. He’s a uniquely interesting combination of strength, genius, empathy, ruthlessness, and sadness. When I saw the first trailer for Ender’s Game I was filled with both excitement and dread. Excitement at the prospect of seeing one of my favourite books on the big screen, and dread at the possibility they’d screw it up. Thankfully they didn’t. When the aliens attack Earth they are looking to colonize our planet. We only barely manage to fight them off, but the lesson of their attack is not lost. The International Military would spend the next 50 years preparing for the Formics return. Ever since it was discovered only young minds have the flexibility to process the amount of data required to orchestrate massive space battles, the International Military has been recruiting the brightest of Earth’s children. Ender Wiggin

(Asa Butterfield) is perhaps the brightest tactical mind Colonel Graff (Harrison Ford) has ever seen. Ender is brought to Battle School where his training begins. He is pushed harder and harder by Colonel Graff, and each time Ender finds a way to win. Soon Ender and his team, Bean (Aramis Knight), Petra (Hailee Steinfeld) and the rest, are promoted to Command School where they’re pushed even harder. Graff believes Ender is humanity’s only hope to end the Formic threat. Ender himself is caught in an internal struggle between wanting to save humanity, and not wanting to become a heartless killing machine. Ender wins because he knows his enemy. The trouble is when you know your enemy well enough to destroy them,

you know them well enough to love them. This is what tears at Ender’s soul. There were times during Ender’s Game when I felt they rushed things. I suppose that’s just the difference between books and movies. Books have all the time in the world for developing story, setting and characters. Movies don’t always have that luxury. Despite that however, Ender’s Game gets so much of this story right I was willing to overlook the few flaws. This is an incredible film with wonderful visuals, a remarkable cast, and a story that’s thrilling, inspiring and beautifully sad. From Aramis Knight as Bean, to Hailee Steinfeld as Petra, to Moises Arias as Bonzo to Abigail Breslin as Valentine Wiggin this cast is perfectly chosen. Viola Davis is brilliant

as Major Gwen Anderson, and I love Ben Kingsley as legendary hero Mazer Rackham. For his part Harrison Ford plays Colonel Graff with such conviction you could almost forgive him for what he does to Ender. Then there is Ender. Asa Butterfield is a better Ender than I could have hoped for. He portrays all of Ender’s depth right to the very soul of the character. Good science fiction isn’t about aliens or spaceships, it’s about holding a mirror up to ourselves. Ender’s Game is very good science fiction. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

The goodies ranged from soups and pasta sauces to gingerbread brownies and cookies. Right, the first 50 shoppers to enter the fair were rewarded with goody bags from the vendors. Lizanne Caron, left, and Judy Devlin, right, lined up early to make sure they got their hands on one.

November full of excitement Legion to bring focus on helping homeless veterans at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre series of storytelling for adults begins with A Dubious Blessing: Two Old Women Speak, featuring storyteller Marta Singh. The show is a personalized story built around two folk tales, one from Russia and one from Argentina. Curtain time is 7:30 p.m. Tickets for both of the above shows are available at Tickets Please, 39 Foster Street, www. ticketsplease.ca or 613-4856434. Meanwhile, Film Night International concludes its fall series this month. Nov. 20 offers No, a Chilean film, with English subtitles, about the struggle for the return of democracy in Chile in 1988. It will be shown at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. And, BarnDoor Productions is auditioning on Nov. 18 for their February production, the racy and shocking comedy You’ve Got Hate Mail. This is a threewoman, two-man show for performers who are willing to be daring and an audience who are willing to be dared. If you think

that’s you, come out at 7 p.m. on Nov. 18. See the audition page at www.barndoorproductions.ca for more details and a link to an extract from the script. A warning: this is definitely an adults-only production. On a more family-oriented note, make plans to see BarnDoor’s Christmas play, Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some), running Dec. 6 to 15. When three actors just can’t face another performance of A Christmas Carol, they decide to tell every Christmas story ever told, instead. The result is holiday silliness, with everything from Charlie Brown to Gustav, The Green-Nosed Reingoat making appearances (because Rudolph is still in copyright). It will be great Christmas fun. A busy month at FCT with great entertainment of different kinds and a lot more to come at Perth’s only ground-level, barrier-free theatre. Full details are available at www.barndoorproductions.ca.

towards the goal of ensuring that every Provincial Command establishes a homeless veterans program tailored to meet their unique community needs,” says Gordon Moore, Dominion president of the Royal Canadian Legion. The program’s mission is to reach out to homeless veterans, or near homeless veterans, by providing immediate financial assistance and support when and where needed. It also connects them with the appropriate social and community services to establish a long-term solution to meet their needs. While the Legion continues to build on programs in urban centres across the country as the framework for the

Legion’s National Homeless Veterans Program, the next step is bringing together select national service providers and organizations to identify priority areas and gaps in several key areas including causes of homelessness, outreach and communication, services and programs, accessibility and coordination of effort. Across Canada, Legion Provincial Commands are working closely with Veterans Affairs, shelters and community organizations to get veterans off the street and into transition programs. Details on the summit will be updated on the Royal Canadian Legion website: www. legion.ca.

Arts – After a great start to the season with BarnDoor Productions’ hilarious The 39 Steps, live theatre is back with the Perth Community Choir’s annual fall production. Director Kristy Angel brings a strong cast and a powerful orchestra together for the Tony Award-winning musical The Secret Garden. Running Nov. 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 10 and 17 at 2:30 p.m., The Secret Garden is based on the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It’s the story of an orphaned girl brought to a loveless house and how she changes everything around her. Filled with wonderful music and great characters, The Secret Garden musical was written by Marsha Norman and Lucy Siman, winning three Tonys in 1991, including a Best Actress Award for the girl playing the orphan, the youngest ever to win a Tony. Nov. 23 marks to opening of 2 women productions’ third season at Full Circle Theatre (FCT). The

News – Recognizing the need for a co-ordinated, national strategy to address the issues facing homeless veterans, the Royal Canadian Legion is proud to announce it will organize and host a Homeless Veterans Strategy Planning Summit. This meeting will bring together the national organizations working with homeless individuals, but with a key focus on addressing veterans. The summit will be held April 15, 2014 at Legion House in Ottawa. “In 2012 the Royal Canadian Legion launched the National Homeless Veterans Program, Leave the Streets Behind, and we are working

SANSOME, David – His ship sailed November 11, 2010. A ship sailed and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says “She is gone”. Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large now as when I last saw her. Her diminished size and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone there are others who are watching her coming over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout “There she comes!” That is what dying is. A horizon and just the limit of our sight. Lift us up, Oh Lord, that we may see further. Always in our hearts Sheila, Alan and Meghan

It’s been a year since you’ve been gone It still hurts all day long There isn’t a day that goes by Without me thinking why So many things I wanted to say I never imagined you’d be so far away In my heart you’ll always be Until the time is meant for me I know you’re always by my side We share so many happy memories My only sister…my true friend May my love for you reach Heaven today Your sadly missed by all Until we meet again Pauline and Family

HEIM, Maria – In loving memory of our dearly loved daughter, sister and granddaughter. 1989-2010. If we listen really close In the silence of the night We hear your voice to comfort us And say that you’re alright. But it’s often hard to understand Why certain things must be And the reasons why they happen Are so often hard to see. But we find comfort in the knowledge That God is always there To keep the one we love so much Forever in His care. Much loved and always missed Mom, Dad, Kevin, Nana and Papa

CUMBER, Harry - In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather and greatgrandfather, who passed away six years ago, November 12, 2007. In a quiet country grave yard Where the gentle breezes blow, Lies the one we loved so dearly Whom we lost six years ago, His resting place we visit And place flowers there with care But no one knows the sorrow As we turn and leave him there. Dearly missed and loved forever Leotha, children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren DIZZELL, Jim- In memory of a dear Husband, Dad and Poppy who passed away November 9, 2008. As time has unfolded the last 5 years Our memories will always keep you near. You suffered so much in silence Your spirit did not bend You tried so hard to stay with us until the very end. You had a kindly word for all It’s such a pleasure to recall. We will always cherish your memories and let them live on in us forever. Never forgotten, Babe, Brendaleah (John), Orville (Christine) and grandchildren.

THOMAS - We lost you dear Leonard in 2009. I think of you dear husband only every day, Our many years together are locked in my heart to stay. And our loving son Stanley we lost in 2004. And our precious daughter Carolyn in 1969. And our dear son-in-law Kerry in 2012. Though years still come and go, Memories of our loved ones are in our hearts to stay. Though you are gone from this world you walk with us everyday. Loved and missed forever Wife and mother Gladys Sisters, brother, spouses and their families

The work of a baby catcher is never done By JENNIFER WESTENDORP jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

News – There’s a new baby catcher in town. “If you ever see me driving around Kemptville, my licence plate says baby catcher,” said midwife Leah Hackett. Hackett is a baby catching master, with nearly 200 deliveries under her belt. “I feel so honoured to do what I do,” said Hackett, midwife for the new satellite clinic of Generations Community Midwifery Care in Kemptville. “I get to be part of the most memorable event in a women’s life. I get to see these babies wrapped in their mother’s arms for the first time.” Hackett has been a midwife since 2010 and has seen her fair share of tiny miracles. “Most births are pretty amazing,” said Hackett. “I’ve had some beautiful home births.” Hackett said it never ceases to amaze her how strong women are. “When they get to the point where they say they just can’t do it anymore,” said Hackett, “they dig down and find that last bit of strength to get through. I am so awed by how strong women are.” Hackett said the mantra of midwifery is to support the mother. “The whole sort of philosophy behind midwifery is we don’t deliver babies, mothers deliver babies,” said Hackett. “We trust that they know what to do. Our method is low intervention. There are some circumstances where we need to intervene, but otherwise, we leave it to the mother. I’m there to catch.” Hackett said continuity of care is what makes midwifery so special. “The best part of midwifery is postpartum care visits,” said Hackett. A midwife provides care to the mother and child from the time of conception until six weeks after delivery. Hackett said midwifery is based on three principles, which include informed choices, choice of location and continuity of care.

“We discuss all pertinent information depending on the stage of the pregnancy,” said Hackett. “We see the mothers as the primary decision maker. I would never hand a mother a piece of paper and demand that she gets a test done. We discuss the options. My job is to support all the mother’s decisions.” Hackett said a midwife is a facilitator for expectant mothers, explaining in detail the importance of things like prenatal vitamins and getting a blood sugar test. However, the mother is the boss throughout the whole process. Offering a choice in the location of birthing is another key component of midwifery. Women can either opt to deliver at home or at the newly constructed Ottawa Birth and Wellness Centre, which is expected to be complete sometime in the next couple months. “It’s beautiful,” said Hackett. “There are three birth rooms, huge tubs. It was designed to be as home like as possible.” Expectant mothers in Kemptville will have the option of birthing at the new center, which is one of two pilot projects – the other being located in Toronto - funded by the provincial government. “I’ll do a home visit if the mother is planning on having a home birth,” said Hackett. “For a home birth, I have all the equipment, including oxygen, masks, suction machine and anti-hemorrhage drugs, in the back of my car.” Hackett said mothers choose to give birth in different areas of the home, including the bedroom and bathroom. “They can deliver wherever they want,” said Hackett. “Some choose on their beds, some squat, some in the bathroom and some in the tub. Wherever they feel comfortable.” Hackett said women should choose to deliver their babies wherever they feel most comfortable, which for some is in a hospital. “Our clients tend to want to avoid intervention,” said Hackett. Hackett said midwifery is intended

Multiple and other high risks births are not accepted. Hackett has been given space at the Public Health Clinic at the Kemptville District Hospital to operate the new midwife clinic. The main clinic for Generations Community Midwife Care is located in Brockville. There is also a clinic in Smiths Falls.

the website at www.generationsmidwifery.ca. The clinic is now taking on clients in Kemptville. So far, approximately 20 women in the area have chosen midwifery care. “Its self-referral, so women can call the clinic when they get pregnant,” said Hackett. “The first appointment is in early pregnancy, between eight and 12 weeks.” Hackett said midwives follow the same schedule as obstetricians, which is appointments every month until 28 weeks, every two weeks until 36 weeks and then every week until delivery. “So it’s usually a 30 to 45 minute

appointment,” said Hackett. “We do a clinical assessment, which includes taking your blood pressure, measuring your belly and listening to the heart beat.” Hackett can order all the same tests as an obstetrician. “As long as mothers have all the information, then great,” said Hackett. “We’re trained in emergency skills as well. People don’t realize we have all kinds of equipment we bring. I set up a whole resuscitation area in the home.” Midwifery is 100 per cent free to expectant mothers, as it is paid for by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. Midwives are on call for their clients 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Take time to remember: Brown says Remembrance Day ceremonies a time to reflect and be grateful

News - Gord Brown, Member of Parliament for Leeds-Grenville, recently encouraged constituents to take time to remember veterans on Nov. 11. “I encourage everyone to recognize the sacrifices and achievements of Canada’s Veterans and those still serving this Remembrance Day,” said Brown. “Veterans have helped make Canada what it is: a country rich in cultural diversity that is proud of its freedoms and values. They have also promoted peace throughout the world. “It is our duty to keep their

memory alive. “There are many Legions through Leeds-Grenville that hold services and there are other activities in which we can participate and remember,” Brown adds. As well as attending a local ceremony, there are other ways to remember.

Veterans Affairs Canada maintains a website to honour veterans. You can learn more at veterans.gc.ca. He notes that this year Canada is marking the Year of the Korean War Veteran because 2013 marks the 60th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice. This year also marks the 95th anniversary of the end of the First World War, the 70th anniversaries of the battle of the Atlantic and of the Italian Campaign and the 20th anniversary of the Canadian Armed Forces efforts in Croatia’s Medak Pocket.

Service in Merrickville –Wolford The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 245 in Merrickville will be holding its Remembrance Day service on Monday Nov. 11. Veterans and dignitaries will parade from the Legion hall at 223 Main Street to Cenotaph Park on St. Lawrence Street. They will assemble at the hall at 10:15 a.m. The service begins at 11 a.m. Merrickville-Wolford residents are encouraged to brave the cold, in order to pay their respect to the fallen veterans. Don’t forget to wear your poppies.

Legion Poppy Campaign The major source of funding for the Legion to accomplish its most important work is the annual Poppy Campaign, which is the foundation of their Remembrance program. It is the generosity of Canadians that enables the Legion to ensure that our veterans and their dependants are cared for and treated with the respect they deserve. This November campaign, which sees poppies distributed to Canadians of all ages, serves to perpetuate Remembrance by ensuring that the memory and sacrifices of our war veterans are never forgotten.

Habitat for Humanity Thousand Islands build on schedule jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

News – The first ever Habitat for Humanity Thousand Islands project in North Grenville is on schedule. Robert Noseworthy, chair of the build committee, said the project is expected to be complete by Dec. 11. The goal is for the Horning family to be able to take possession of the home on Dec. 12. “I trust it will be a very nice Christmas for the (Horning) family,� said Noseworthy. Noseworthy, who presented the second monthly project update at the Oct. 28 council meeting, said the project is making excellent progress. “When we began excavating the site, we expected to find bedrock, but we didn’t,� he said. “We saved a little bit of money there.� So far, the foundation, framing, roof shingles and electrical, plumbing and HVAC rough-ins have all been complete. “It’s really shaping up to be a home,� said Noseworthy. The build committee chair said they have used professionals up to this point due to the importance of constructing a sound structure. “The work that has been done so far requires a lot of skill and can be dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing,� said Noseworthy. Volunteer stage He said the project is now entering the volunteer stage. “Over 100 volunteers have registered,� said Noseworthy, “of which, 56 have participated to date.� He said safety is a primary concern on the build site, so all volunteers are required to wear

Noseworthy said the first community / corporate build day, attended by approximately 12 members of the St. James Anglican Church, was a success. “There is great involvement from family and friends of the Hornings,� said Noseworthy. The second build day involved Kollaard Associates, who volunteered their time to install drywall. “It’s one of the most difficult and laborious tasks,� said Noseworthy. “The drywall installation took four days.� He said that at the end of every day, at least three or four people show up to help clean up Photo by JENNIFER WESTENDORP the build site.

Paige Burnie is a student at North Grenville District High School.

News - North Grenville District High School began the year with a running start under the influence of Paige Burnie. Burnie is a Grade 12 student and the new Prime Minister of North Grenville. She keeps herself busy both in and out of school. In school, she’s a very active member of SAC, planning events like leadership camp, and keeping things in check for Grade 9 Day. Although no longer chair of the dance committee, Paige has kept up on the doings of the committee by offering her advice to the new chairs, ensuring the best possible dances. In her final year at NG, Paige is hopeful to play varsity soccer in the spring. Last year, Paige participated in the high school figure skating competition in Smith Falls. The NG team placed third overall and hope to go for gold this coming year. Not only does skating occupy Paige’s life in school, but it’s one of her favourite things to do outside of school. Paige is a competitive figure skater who skates out of Nepean. She travels to the Nepean Sportsplex three nights a week to prepare for major competitions. In past years, she’s won the Eastern Ontario Skating Invitational Competition moving on to compete against all of Ontario, where she ranked as one of the top 10 in our province. This past month, she competed in the Spencerville Fair Ambassador Competition where she placed as second runner up. Although she is super busy outside of school with skating, she still has time for her family and their fun family vacations. They’ve been to Myrtle Beach, as

well as Nashville, Tennessee; a spot Paige would love to live someday. As a senior, Paige has gained a lot of valuable experience leading her to the role that she’s in. She’s gotten to know many of the teachers and students, and quite a few things about the school as a whole, all of which have encouraged her to succeed. Paige knows that the teachers are always around to help her, as well as other students in their free time. “It’s because they’re so caring and they want to see us succeed,” Paige said. “One of my favourite things about being at NG is seeing all the fabulous students. There are so many different types of people who I’ve become friends with, and have made memories with them that I’ll keep forever!” She’s also learned so much and grown as a student. As far as advice goes to new students, Paige gives helpful guidance, “To all new and returning students: high school seems super intimidating, but really it isn’t! It’s full of great people and great opportunities, and really is an amazing 4 years. Whatever you do in high school, make sure that when you leave, you have memories to always make you smile.” As this is Paige’s last year, she’s looking ahead to the future, which now doesn’t seem so far away. “Next year, I really want to study kinesiology or bio-medicine in university,” said Paige. “After that, I really want to audition for Disney on Ice. I love to skate, and Disney on Ice would be a lot of fun!” This will be a super fun year at NG with the ropes in Paige’s hands. We wish Paige the best of luck in being Prime Minister this year, and hope it’s everything she wants it to be. Good luck Paige.

Sing n’ Seniors put on their first ever musical By JENNIFER WESTENDORP jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Arts – The first ever musical performance by the Sing n’ Seniors was a leg breaker at its finest. The group has been preparing for the performance of ‘We’ll Meet Again’ for months, perfecting each song. The members who delivered lines during the performance had been practising their parts since the spring. The rest of the group, despite knowing most of the songs by heart, studied their scripts diligently since October. In total, there were 36 people participating in the performance, 20 of whom were involved in the actual production. The remainPhoto by JENNIFER WESTENDORP ing 16 people helped out in other ways. The Sing n’ Seniors have been working hard on their “We’ve got some lovely voices and some inperformance of ‘We’ll Meet Again.’ teresting characters,� said Louise Atchison, the

director of Sing n’ Seniors. Atchison has been directing and providing accompaniment for the Sing n’ Seniors for the past six years. Some of the songs that were performed included ‘Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning,’ ‘My Only Woodbine,’ ‘You’ll Get Used to It,’ ‘In the Mood’ and ‘Bicycle Built for Two.’ Attendees were invited to sing along with the performers. The idea stemmed from a past member of the Sing n’ Seniors, by the name of Regina Jones, who has since moved to Ottawa, but was able to attend the performance. Jones said it would be fun to put on a performance and the rest is history. The women wore skirts or dresses for the performance, as it was customer attire for the time period being represented.

“We didn’t go the full nine yards, in terms of the costumes,� said Atchison. “We didn’t think we could do the Canadian Forces justice. It’s difficult to find pieces that fit.� One of the men representing the army wore a beige shirt and pants. The pianist wore a modern day military outfit. “One of the girls managed to find a nice jacket representing the air force,� said Atchison. In total, there were 295 tickets available per performance, both of which were essentially sold out, with only a few remaining tickets available at the door. The group held performances on Nov. 1 and 3 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. All proceeds generated by ticket sales went to the Cheryl J. Brown Centre in Kemptville.

Being with your loved ones, waking up early to open presents containing delightful surprises, watching your kids’ faces light up as they tear away the wrapping paper, spending the whole afternoon removing batteries from remotes around the house, trying desperately to assemble complex toys that are beyond your comprehension, coming down off the sugar high brought on by too much chocolate in the morning, travelling hundreds of kilometers to your relatives house to eat turkey two months after being forced to do so at Thanksgiving and the realization that months of planning, organizing and shopping have resulted in just a few hours of fun that hardly seem worth the hype. Christmas is a wonderful time of the year. People love to spend money and what better excuse to blow large sums of it than for this celebration? Thousands upon thousands of dollars – gone! Where does it all go? How do you manage to max out a credit card in a single day? The joys of decking the halls! Every single television station in the country plans it perfectly. The week leading up to Halloween features nothing but spooky specials. The day after Halloween, the advertisements for the 20 top toys of the season take over the airwaves. It’s a very sneaky and well-played marketing ploy. Most people don’t even realize

L

what’s happening until their children begin spewing out the names of toys they expect to see under the tree Christmas morning. “MOM! I want an Air Hogs Atmosphere!!!” “DAD! I want a Zoomer robotic dog!!!” It never ends. The verbal Christmas lists could fill an entire book and the index page. It’s rather difficult, especially if your kids still believe in Santa, to explain that the Jolly Ol’ Elf had to fix his sleigh this year and pay for extra reindeer food because they’re all getting bigger. They have no concept of money, which is why marketing people are so genius. There are never any dollar amounts attached to those ads. Parents have to Google the toys just to figure out that the Air Hogs thing costs $30 and the Zoomer dog is a cool $150. Ouch poor mom and dad! The stores are no better – stocking their shelves with red, green, silver and gold the same day the Halloween stuff is marked down 50 per cent. Who can blame them, after all, these have not been the best of times. Still, it’s hypnotic. All those Christmas decorations are adorably irresistible. Little snowmen, singing Santas and cute reindeer figurines are hard to pass up as the holidays near, which they are. So get the credit cards out and prepare yourselves for outlandish final bills at the register. At least we’re all suckers together!

Remembrance Day means a little more today

ifestyle - Growing up in the ’70s and ’80s, Remembrance Day was the day when you got dressed in your guide or scout uniform, bare knees freezing, and lined up with all of the nice old veterans for the town parade. We walked down from the Legion around Reuben Street and up Prescott to the cenotaph on the front lawn of the high school. It wasn’t a long walk but it felt like it to a kid. The ceremony itself wasn’t long either. Again, it feels longer when you have bare kneecaps. We sang some hymns, one of the school kids would read the Flanders Field poem, we’d sing some more, say a few prayers, have a moment of silence, lay some wreaths, march back to the Legion. That day was important because it was meant to remind us of the sacrifices made years and years ago, in far away, long ago wars. We studied their significance and went through the motions but we had very little personal reference to what we were supposedly remembering. But somewhere along the way, it all changed. I remember the day I walked my little girls over to the cenotaph and

The Accidental Farmwife DIANA FISHER

saw a sea of uniforms. A bus had arrived from Petawawa and hundreds of soldiers had come to share the solemn ceremony with us. It was an awesome sight. I realized I recognized one of them. A boy I went to high school with, Ken Kerouac was in the army and had come home for Remembrance Day. After the ceremony we went to the Legion and I said hello. Later he came back to our house for lunch. He told us about his life and it all seemed so surreal. I had an uncle who fought in the Second World War and the story was that he was involved in the liberation of a village near Normandy. One November I took it upon myself to give him a call. I thought it would be a nice idea to call him personally and thank him for what he did, all those years ago. He answered

the phone and after being reminded of who I was he said he wasn’t planning to march with the other veterans in his local parade. He didn’t like that sort of thing, he said. He didn’t like to be reminded. He planned to go deer hunting that day instead. Over the next few years we had friends marry into the military, and realized it meant something different than it used to. There is far more risk involved. War is recent. War is now for some people. Today we have young soldiers marching with the old on November 11th. And particularly since September 11, 2001, it has taken on a whole new meaning for most of us. Friends of ours had a son in the military, and they lost him. Not to war, but to mental illness. I don’t know if he struggled with mental issues his whole life, or if it came about as a result of what he had seen and been through as an adult. I have another friend who suffered at the hands of an abusive father his whole life; unfortunately he grew up to be just as abusive to his own wife. I see the old man in his military uniform and I just think it’s sad.

I’m not saying war ruins everyone who serves. I’m sure many manage to escape unscathed, untouched by the dark, negative forces that permeate every aspect of battle, and serving in war-torn areas. But for some, it causes irreparable damage. Cracks form inside. You can’t see them, but they are there. Their families know it. Sons, brothers, husbands come home changed. Their families are tasked with the responsibility then of bringing them back to reality, back to life.

Merrickville author publishes first book entitled ‘Old Enough To Fight: Canada’s Boy Soldiers In The First World War’ By JENNIFER WESTENDORP jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

News – Four years and 448 pages later, Dan Black has published his first book. The Merrickville author has penned ‘Old Enough To Fight: Canada’s Boy Soldiers In The First World War,’ in collaboration with John Boileau, who lives in Nova Scotia. “John and I put our heads together and said, “Let’s tell a story,” said Black. The story they decided to tell was in fact many stories, all of which focus on underage Canadians who enlisted to fight during World War I. “We both felt it was something we needed to write about,” he added. “Initially we thought we could write one book that would cover the under-aged soldier experiences of the First and Second World Wars. But as we got into the research, we discovered there were two books to write.” James Lorimer and Company Ltd., Publishers, which is based in Toronto, signed the authors to a two-book deal. The first book concentrates on the First World War. The second book, which the authors are currently researching, will bring in the experiences of the Second World War. “It’s keeping both of us busy,” said Black. Roméo Dallaire, the author of ‘Shake Hands With The Devil,’ wrote the foreword to the first book. “Right away he thought it was a good subject to write about,” said Black. “He is a very busy guy, especially with his Child Soldier Initiative which is aimed at trying to eradicate the use of child soldiers around the world. He thought a book on the Canadians who served underage in the major wars would be fascinating.” Black and Boileau are grateful to the historians they have met over the years who have done a remarkable job writing about the many aspects of Canada’s military history. Both authors embarked on their project by researching and reading everything they could, in order to pull together all the different aspects of it. They utilized resources like the Library and Archives Canada and the Rooms in Newfoundland. Black said the book references more than 100 underage soldiers. “We wrote the personal stories in a way that they fit into the backdrop of how the war unfolded, between 1914 and 1918,” said Black. “As you read the book, you learn about individual soldiers, but you also learn something about the war and the major battles Canadians fought in. That was how we wanted to set it up from the start.”

About the author Dan Black grew up in the Ottawa area, where he attended Merivale High School. He went on to study journalism at Humber College in Toronto, after which he landed a job with the Brockville Recorder and Times newspaper. Seven years later, he applied for and received a job at Legion Magazine, which is based in Kanata. Black has been working for the magazine since 1987 and is now the editor. In 1989, Black moved to Merrickville, where he and his wife, Alice, raised their two children, Katy and Conor, both of whom attended St. Michael Catholic High School before going on to university.

One of the more compelling stories for Black is the story of Private Willie Dailey of Gananoque, Ontario. “He was 14-years-old when he enlisted on August 2, 1915,” said Black. “He was one of the youngest that went to war. He was killed in the bloody Battle of the Somme in September 1916.” Black said Dailey grew up along the St. Lawrence River, and while in the

army wrote letters to his mother and girlfriend. “They’re very vivid,” said Black. “In one letter he asks his mother to send cedar oil to help deal with the lice that got onto him and his clothes while he was in the trenches. He had a youthful bravado about him.” While on a holiday in France, Black was able to visit the cemetery where Dailey was buried. “I located his grave and stood there awhile to think about him and pay my respects,” said Black. “He was so young. It was an honour to include him in the book.” Black said the second book will be different because there are veterans who are able to give first-hand accounts of their experiences on land, sea or in the air. “We’ve already managed to do some interviews,” said Black. “We’ve heard some amazing stories and hope to hear more.” Black said it is estimated that between 15,000 and 20,000 (perhaps more) underage Canadians managed to enlist in World War I. “We discovered many who came into the recruiting office with a strong desire to serve, to get overseas,” he said. “Some wanted to get overseas to be with an older brother, a father or uncle. Many fudged their birthdate. Others got in even though their stated age was clearly under the age of 18. Included in the numbers that got overseas were boys in their early teens.” Black said that many of these young boys served in trenches alongside older soldiers. They fought in all major battles, including Ypres and Passchendaele. “A lot of these kids were injured, some died and some suffered psychological wounds from what they saw,” said Black. “We thought that this was something that would resonate with a lot of Canadians.” The book contains an abundant amount of photographs, as well as 16 specially commissioned maps depicting battle fields. ‘Old Enough to Fight’ will be launched at the Merrickville Public Library on Nov. 16 at 1:30 p.m. The book is available at Chapters, on Amazon, the Merrickville Book Emporium and other independent books stores. Each copy is $34.95.

North Grenville Fire Services ‘Fright Night’ a big success was having a wonderful time pretending to drive. The next stop was down another hallway to be met by Captain Luke Geleynse, a.k.a. Batman, with an impressive deep voice. The children then entered a dark and frightening room filled with hay bales, things that glow in the night and many frightening ghouls. The journey was quite long for some children as they clung to their parents for protection from the characters on the floor popping up and ghouls putting hands on their shoulders. This year’s Fire Prevention Week focuses on cooking safety. The fire department has visited 122 homes in North Grenville to check smoke alarms. Frank Hoffman, the manager of the Kemptville Canadian Tire, donated the smoke alarms that have been installed in over 30 resident’s homes during the visits. ‘Fright Night’ was a wonderful contribution to the community on Halloween Night. North Grenville is very fortunate to have a volunteer Fire Department that takes time from their own lives to give so much fun to the children on Halloween night with such flare!

Community – On Oct. 31, the rain may have helped encourage attendance at the first ever ‘Fright Night’ hosted by the North Grenville Fire Service. More than 400 people walked through the doors, half of whom were children, making the event a success. Local businesses donated more than 1,500 pieces of candy for the event, all of which were devoured. The theme for the firefighters was superheroes, although some were dressed as ghouls. The Fire Prevention Officer Elizabeth Greenberg, a.k.a. Wonder Woman, said “the event was run in conjunction with Fire Prevention Week, including an open house along with school visits, public activities and visits to local businesses.” ‘Fright Night’ featured a haunted house, fire truck tours and oodles of treats for all ages.

Organizers offer up thanks to the Merrickville and Kemptville communities for making ‘Ceilidh for Karen’ a great success Community - It was a night I will never forget. Roughly 400 members of the Merrickville and Kemptville communities gathered together to show their love and support for one of their own battling an aggressive form of cancer. Held on Oct. 25 at Pinecrest Farm, the home of Michelle Williams and Rick Anderson, the Ceilidh for Karen was successful beyond the wildest dreams of the organizing committee. And not just as a fundraiser – in many ways besides. To many of those in attendance, the Ceilidh was a testament to community spirit, a reminder that there is good in the world. For Karen Brûlé, the guest of honour, it was an unprecedented outpouring of love and support that has given her strength to fight her battle – and to win it.

Quack! her LWD (little wounded duck). She has started laying eggs. Next spring she will get broody and hopefully raise a clutch of ducklings. Her companion is Beau and he is very protective. Every morning I go out to the duck house and call “My Babies”. They follow me to the pond and every night when I get home it’s the same thing. “Come On Babies”. And they follow me up the driveway to Duck Hilton. Some nights they just squat down and want to be picked up. Lazy, spoiled ducks. Next week they are going to be reintroduced to Desi and Little Peep. Should be interesting. They’re going to have to spend the winter together so they will just have to work it out. I’ll keep a close eye on them for the first couple of days. We have had poultry in the garden for almost ten years. It’s the best thing we ever did, but ducks are special. If you’ve ever raised ducks you will know. They imprint on you and will follow you anywhere. They hold your gaze and love to be stroked. They are devoted to their kin and are never more than a few feet from each other. Ducks can teach us a lot about what’s important. They’re not quacks!! If you have any gardening questions or comments, email us at the link below.

It’s November and the mercury is dropping. We still have two ducks in the pond at work and we’re not going to make the same mistake we did last year. For those that don’t remember, last year the pond froze over and the ducks headed for the Rideau River. It was the last day in November and the boss and I were out on some very thin ice trying to recover Desi and his son Little Peep. It was only luck and not good planning that we managed to snag the two ducks. They spent last winter in “Duck Hilton”. It is our duck house with a wet area for feeding, a dry area for nesting and warmth and a five foot bathtub with a heater so they can do their daily grooming. Very spoiled ducks. In the spring, we got three, day-old Pekin ducklings. When they were a few months old we introduced them to Desi and Peep. It didn’t go well. They chased the ducklings all over the property, so I brought the ducklings home to swim in our pond. What we didn’t know at the time was that there was a fox in the area. The fox got one of our chickens and one of the ducklings. He was trying to get a second duckling and Angie went after him with a landscape rake. The fox decided to cut his losses and drop the wounded duck. Her leg was limp and she could not put any weight on her left side. She

Another unexpected benefit of the Ceilidh was that it drew attention to the underappreciated body of work of Merrickville Public School teacher Morgan McQuay’s grandparents, Group of Seveninfluenced artists Marie Cecilia Guard and Ken Phillips. In terms of money raised, the Ceilidh was a fantastic success – more than doubling the committee’s original goal of $25,000, to provide financial help to Karen, a local businessperson whose cancer is making it very difficult for her to operate her businesses. The Ceilidh for Karen organizing committee would like to express its thanks to everybody who was able to attend, the generous event sponsors, the wonderful people who donated items for the live and silent auctions, those who made donations at the Royal Bank or online, and the amazing team of volunteers! You all made a significant contribution to the event – thank you!

The event was held during the 18th Annual Hardlines Conference in Toronto. The industry competition included all brands of building centres from across Canada. The Kemptville Building Centre received the Outstanding Retailer Award for the Best Building Supply/Home Centre in the over 25,000 square foot category. The Kemptville store was recognized for its exceptional customer service, knowledgeable staff and continued support in its community.

Because they are so in touch with their food, they also know when to stop eating. Canadians, on the other hand, are much less particular about the foods they eat and could practically polish off a bag of snacks before they even realize they are eating. Snacking is not a part of the French lifestyle. Take a lesson from the French. Instead of trying to ignore food, practice immersing yourself in the sensory experience of eating. Eat slowly and focus on savouring each and every flavour. Don’t deprive yourself of the desserts and rich sauces you love, but eat them very sparingly. Use fresh ingredients and don’t cook too much food for the number of people eating the meal. Leftovers are fine, but if the food is sitting there, the temptation for seconds

Opinion - French cuisine is famous for its rich sauces and fattening desserts. The average French woman doesn’t eat them every day. In fact, she is more likely to eat fresh fruit for dessert than sweets. Contrary to popular belief, the typical French meal is not high in fat. A meal often begins with soup made of pureed vegetables. The water content in the soup is filling but very low in calories. By the time the entrée arrives, the French woman is more easily satisfied with a smaller portion. Even if the dish, which is most likely fish or poultry, is laced with heavy sauce, she’s only eating a small portion. Sauces are added to accent food, not drown it. The French love their bread, but you seldom find butter on a French dinner table. Just as significant as what the French eat is how they eat it. Canadians eat and work, eat and watch television or even eat and drive. The French engross themselves in eating as a major event. They savour the textures and subtle nuances of flavours and spices and are very much in tune with the pleasure and sensations of eating. A French meal is eaten slowly and can sometimes last for hours, which aids in digestion.

Sweden versus Ottawa kicks off OVCA Women’s Fall Classic Team from PEI claims 24-team championship By JENNIFER WESTENDORP jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

by the North Grenville Curling Club. The tournament was well attended and the arena was brimming with excitement, as attend-

ees popped from lane to lane to catch part of the action. The day, and entire weekend, was filled with thrilling matches against world class athletes.

R0012399501_1107

Sports – Twenty-four of the most talented women’s curling teams in the world were in Kemptville over the weekend, taking part in the eighth annual Royal LePage OVCA Women’s Fall Classic. When the rocks had settled on Sunday, the PEI squad of Suzanne Birt, Shelley Bradley, Michelle McQuaid and Susan McInnis emerged with the championship trophy, along with the $5,200 in prize money. (See story page K19). Last Thursday saw an exciting kick-off to the annual championship. A much anticipated matchup between an Ottawa team, skipped by Samantha Peters, and a team from Sweden, skipped by Anna Hasselborg, ended in a conceded loss for Ottawa after the seventh end. The Ottawa team included Laura Roe as lead, Julie Frame as second and Jaclyn Peters as third. The Swedish team featured Zandra Flyg as lead, Agnes Knochenhauer as second and Karin Rudstrom as third. The match got off to a quiet start, with the first end resulting in a blank because neither team landed rocks in the rings. After the second end, the score was 1 – 0 for Sweden. Going into the third end, the Ottawa team had the hammer advantage. Ottawa did a good job setting up guards with their first and second rocks, but one of the guards was quickly knocked out of play by Sweden. Ottawa threw a nice fifth rock, but it was swept out of play by Sweden.

Both teams went on to play another match in the evening. It was an exciting end to the first match of the OVCA Women’s Fall Classic, which was hosted

Thank You to all of our Sponsors for making the 14th Annual Fall Extravaganza a success! Platinum

The Ottawa team played well, but lost their first match against Anna Hasselborg’s Swedish team. The Swedish team managed to place their sixth rock in the 12 foot ring, but it was knocked out by Ottawa’s sixth rock. The Swedish team landed a biter, by placing their seventh rock on the edge of the four foot ring, which forced the Ottawa team to play it by attempting to knock it out. Ottawa’s eighth rock landed inside the four foot ring, beating out the Swedish biter, resulting in a point. The match was tied up after the third end. The fourth end saw Sweden with the hammer. The Swedish team landed their sixth rock in the four foot ring. Ottawa’s eighth rock landed in the eight foot ring, which was quickly knocked out by the Swedish team’s eighth rock, which stayed in the four foot ring. The Swedish team walked away from the fourth end with two points, having two rocks inside the four foot ring, making the score 3 – 1 for Sweden. The hammer went back to Ottawa in the fifth end, which re-

sulted in an upsetting three point finish for the Swedish team, making the score 6 – 1 for Sweden. The Ottawa team retained the hammer going into the sixth end. Halfway through the end, both teams were in a good position with rocks inside the rings. The Swedish team switched from an offensive game to a defensive game, due to their considerable lead over Ottawa. With their sixth rock, the Ottawa team knocked two of Sweden’s rocks out of the rings, placing two of their own in the eight foot ring. The Swedish team were quick to retaliate, knocking one of Ottawa’s rocks out with their seventh rock. Sweden’s eight rock landed short of the button, in the eight foot ring. Ottawa took a point in the sixth end, making the score 6 – 2 for Sweden. The seventh end saw the hammer returned to Sweden during which they scored two, making the score 8-2.. The Ottawa team conceded, ending the game.

Register now for the Fill-A-Bag campaign in support of the Salvation Army News - The fifth annual Fill-A-Bag campaign is being organized again to fill the shelves of the Kemptville Salvation Army. Together we can fill bags and help restock the shelves of the food bank. The Fill-A-Bag campaign is a commitment of two consecutive Sundays involving up to three hours of your time.

Your team will be placing paper shopping bags, with instructions attached, between the doors or on the porch of the houses on the first Sunday. There is no need to knock or speak to anyone, just drop off the bag. The following Sunday, those residences that follow the instructions will place their full shopping bags on the

porch waiting for you to pick them up. Those full bags will be collected at the collection centre, located at the old Giant Tiger location in downtown Kemptville. Pizza and refreshments will be served on December 1 at the Old Giant Tiger after the bags have been collected. Please register your team, or if you

volunteering as an individual, by November 15. On Sunday, November 24, starting at 1 p.m., pick up the empty bags at the old Giant Tiger and deliver them door-to-door for your specific route. On Sunday, December 1, starting at 1 p.m., return to your route and pick up the filled bags, and deliver them to the Old Giant Tiger.

Our goals for this campaign include the distribution of 8000 grocery bags in North Grenville, filling the shelves of the Salvation Army’s food bank and enjoying the satisfaction of knowing we made this a better community. Our campaign coordinator is Charly Stewart. If you have any questions, please call him at 613-258-6650.

PEI’s Suzanne Birt wins Fall Curling Classic Sports - Prince Edward Island’s Suzanne Birt’s foursome was the last team to enter the 2013 Royal LePage OVCA Women’s Fall Classic World Tour Event held at the North Grenville Curling Club in Kemptville over the weekend, and her team was the last team standing on Championship Sunday. Birt and her teammates third Shelly Bradley, second Michelle McQuaid and lead Susan McInnis ran off three consecutive victories on Sunday including an 8-3 victory over Manitoba’s Darcy Robertson in the championship game to become the Fall Classic’s eighth Champion. The game was close until Birt stole a triple in the seventh end for the victory. Birt defeated Ottawa’s Brit O’Neill 7-2 in the quarter finals and Montreal’s Eve Bélisle 6-2 in the semifinal. The Birt team took home $5,200 of the $16,000 purse. Robertson won $2,800. The semi-finalists Nina Spatola of the United States and Eve Bélisle of Montreal each received $1,800. The four quarter finalists, Anna Hasselborg of Sweden, Halifax’s Heather Smith Dacey, Ottawa’s Brit O’Neill and Thornhill’s Julie Hastings each won $1,100. Two former members of the North Grenville Curling Club play on the O’Neill team, Trish Scharf and Kim Brown. The weather might have been unpredictable over the four days of the Fall Classic and the power might have went out in several homes around the area, but the lights of the local club remained on and the fans were treated to some lights-out curling by 96 of the best women curlers in Eastern Canada, the U.S. and Sweden.

Sports - On Friday, Nov. 1, the 73's traveled to Brockville to face the Braves. Brockville celebrated 50 years of history with a grand opening ceremony featuring many of their alumni. The current Braves were determined to impress the past team members and came out with guns blazing. Kemptville goaltender, Jake Tugnutt, faced 20 shots in the period but they were only able to beat him once. Ben St Marseille scored the equalizer with four minutes remaining in the first. Brandon Cole picked up the only assist. The Braves added one more in the second on the power play and then got the insurance goal in the third for the 3-1 victory. The game featured some hard hits and several good scoring chances but the 73's were unable to find the back of the net. Tugnutt was solid in nets, stopping 34 of 37 shots, and was named the game's third star. On Sunday, Nov. 3, the HawkesR0012399505_1107

A LASTING INVESTMENT

Thank You from the Energy East Pipeline project team

Energy East Pipeline

Recently, TransCanada visited Kemptville to discuss our newly proposed Energy East Pipeline project with local community members. Our experts listened as community residents shared their thoughts on a number of topics about the project, including questions around how TransCanada safeguards its pipeline system to how it protects rivers and environmentally sensitive areas along the project route. I’d like to first say thank you to those who joined us at our event. The feedback we receive from each person at these open houses is gathered, recorded and considered as we work toward the planning of the pipeline. It’s an essential part of our engagement process and something we take very seriously. TransCanada has one of the best records in the industry for delivering energy safely and efficiently across North America. In 2012 alone, we spent $1 billion on proactive maintenance programs to protect our pipelines. It’s these types of commitments that ensure our projects are developed in the safest and most socially responsible manner possible, and Energy East will be no exception. Special measures will be used when crossing rivers and other sensitive areas to help further protect the environment. Some of these include adding thicker-walled pipe and placing extra sensors and valve systems closer together in these important areas. We will also monitor the pipeline 24 hours a day with the ability to remotely shut it down within minutes anywhere along the route, and will place specialized equipment and field crews along the entire project to monitor, maintain and respond immediately if needed. Pipelines are the safest way to transport oil across North America and our oil pipelines are among the newest and safest ever built. I’ve been in this industry for over 30 years so I can tell you firsthand that no one has a stronger interest in the protection of TransCanada’s pipelines than we do. That’s why we continuously adopt new technologies and new programs to improve our systems every day. Thank you once again for hosting us in your community and sharing your thoughts. Our events are designed to ensure we achieve one important goal: to communicate one-on-one with each individual who attends our open houses. We appreciate your hospitality and look forward to meeting with you again very soon. For more information about our project, please visit us at www.EnergyEastPipeline.com Sincerely,

Steve Pohlod President Energy East Pipeline Project
