CAMPAIGN STOP IN MORRISBURG

Duncan digs in

BY MATTHEW UHRIG news@winchesterpress.on.ca

MORRISBURG – Using his home county as the backdrop, Conservative candidate Eric Duncan further flexed his campaign muscle at Stone Crop Acres Thurs., Sept. 5.

Among a crowd of more than 100 supporters, Duncan continued the breakneck trajectory he’s been on since being acclaimed as the party’s candidate in Stormont, Dundas, and South Glengarry earlier this year.

A key cornerstone of Duncan’s pledge, beyond committing to keeping the level of service similar to that of his predecessor, the retiring Guy Lauzon, is securing needed infrastructure dollars in the riding.

“You’ll remember, Justin Trudeau promised four years ago to balance the budget… It’s not; not even close,” Duncan said. “We need to make sure we get our finances in order, and get our fair share of tax dollars back in SD&SG.” The young Tory also took aim at the billions of dollars in stimulus support being announced by the Liberals ahead of the writ being dropped to start the election period.

“You need to ask yourself when you see pledges being made, ‘how much of that is coming back locally?’” Duncan said. “There’s tens of billions of dollars in deficits, and I can’t name one single infrastructure project in the riding that we’ve benefitted from.”

Bonus Bike Night on tap ROSS VIDEO EXPANSION STALLED

BY TOM SCHOCH reporter@winchesterpress.on.ca

IROQUOIS – An unprecedented expansion of a homegrown manufacturing company that will bring employment to South Dundas should be a no-brainer, but a land swap agreement with a neighbour has stalled the project.

Jeff Poapst, senior vice-president of manufacturing at Ross Video, the

municipality’s largest employer, publicly unveiled plans for the addition of a 55,000 square foot building to their existing location Tues., Sept. 3.

The project, which is estimated to cost between $12-million and $15-million will almost double the size of the current business and create an additional 40 jobs.

“We’ve doubled in size every five years or so and have hit now 27 years

of straight growth,” said Poapst.

The story of Ross Video is one driven by the patriarch, John Ross, and his son and current CEO, David.

The elder Ross began his company as a humble 4,000 square foot storefront operation in 1974.

That was where Ross Video stayed until a new 10,000 square foot facility was built on John Street in 1982.  CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

South Dundas digging out from the landfill

BY TOM SCHOCH reporter@winchesterpress.on.ca

MORRISBURG – Dumpster diving is a messy affair, but the general idea is that if you can tolerate all the nastiness, you will inevitably come up with a gem or two if you search hard enough.

The five members of South Dundas council plunged in with both feet as waste management consultants from WSP laid the reality of the situation before them at a special committee of the whole meeting Thurs., Sept. 5.

The report presented by Russell

Chown and Jennifer Brown-Hawn of WSP comes on the heels of the unexpected closure of the Williamsburg landfill site June 30 and provided greater detail of the current situation, costs and next steps for the municipality.

The current state

It’s a mess and that was made publicly obvious with the unexpected closure of the Williamsburg landfill site. It will remain closed, most likely permanently, as the site is over capacity and has significant surface water contami-

nation of iron, boron and chloride on site.

The Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) that borders the landfill magnifies the problem. Operated since 1961, it lacks the modern engineering to prevent the leaching of toxic contaminants into surface water or aquifers, so an expansion, although there is room, seems highly unlikely.

The Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) has given the municipality until September 2020 to cover the site with two feet of clay, es-

timated to cost $1.5-million, and an ad-ditional $1-million in soil cover uponn ministry approval.

Since the contamination plume hass moved, new wells must be dug to estab-lish a new contamination zone (CAZ)) and a final closure plan must be sub-mitted by Sun., Sept. 15.

With only $600,000 put away in reserves, CAO Shannon Geraghty was forthcoming in his assessment.

“We’re far below where we need to be right now,” he said.  CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Ross Video  CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE

Further expansions in 1999, 2012 and 2013 have resulted in a total space of 65,000 square feet with 225 employees. In an attempt to maximize their space and efficiency, Ross Video has invested another $1.8-million this year to modernize the original building constructed in 1982, which will be in full operation in the next week.

The size of the company itself has also expanded exponentially with 14 acquisitions since 2009 increasing the total workforce to 787 employees world-wide. With 18 product lines, more than 2,000 shippable products and clients like the NFL, major broadcasters and Youtube, and even an Emmy at the front desk, Ross Video has been synonymous with success.

Not only has the local business thrived financially, it has also been a good citizen of the community. The Ross family have donated countless dollars to the Iroquois campground and airport, including the construction of the new building this fall, the local beach and Seaway District High School.

It would be simple to assume then that growth of this size and magnitude would be welcomed with open arms; there remains, however, one key stumbling block.

The proposed design would see the current footprint of the Ross Video building expand

Landfill  CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE

Chown also admitted he was “quite surprised at how high it was” to cover the site, but that it would hopefully mitigate the contamination issues.

“The amount of water going through the waste mound will be reduced and things might start to look a little bit better there on the surface water,” he said.

A minimum 25-year monitoring plan of the site will also have to be accounted for in any budgeting by the municipality.

With that, attention turned to Matilda, a site that currently has two years left until it is full.

The site has better soil composition, electricity, no PSW on site and has the potential for two expansions of 100,000 cubic metres on the current footprint “unless the political climate changes,” according to Chown.

Not only that, the MECP indicated a costly liner system to deal with the toxic leachate may not be required.

“They are open to the idea of expanding Matilda without installing a liner and leachate collection system. Now when I say open to that it’s up to us to demonstrate that site, with the utmost engineering control, will not cause an adverse affect at the down gradient boundary,” said Chown.

Significant earth work will need to be done as Matilda also has surface water contamination and the Zandbergen Drain, which flows north, on site.

south over John Street and onto land currently owned by the village Legion.

“The challenge we have is to build it in that configuration we will need to do a land swap with Legion Branch 370,” explained Poapst.

This current design is optimal as it allows Ross Video to share the same logistics and systems, and consolidate their robotics assembly and testing. That would allow them to move out of the plaza location.

In preparation for their growth, the hi-tech company has purchased the former medical centre on Miller Street, a vacant lot adjacent to Iroquois Enterprises and the former municipal garage on Dundas Street, which will be torn down in October.

The hope was that the former garage site would be used as a paved parking lot for the Legion in exchange for the land required for the expansion. The swap would allow for the new Ross building, but would hinder the Legion from ever expanding on their northern side of their lot.

Poapst first presented the idea to Legion executives, which included the offer to pay for all legal counsel required by the Legion and any land transfer costs, in November of 2018 to gauge interest. It appeared that progress was being made until June of this year.

“I made a series of presentations to the executive and we got mostly to the same page to the point they were willing to take it to the membership. I did a

presentation to the membership and they were lined up for a vote and then something changed.

I wasn’t invited to that meeting. They didn’t have the full membership vote. Instead they tabled a motion create a subcommittee to study this further and have that sub-committee come back with a recommendation to the Legion. We have been negotiating with the chair of the sub-committee since that time,” said Poapst.

The chair, Terry O’Reilly, and the five person sub-committee ultimately hold the power in this situation and have stated that there are concerns that need to be addressed.

Although no objections were raised when Poapst made the presentations, members did raise some concerns before the vote and decided to form a sub-committee at that time, according to O’Reilly.

He pointed out that the committee and most of the membership is strongly in support of the expansion and recognize what it would mean to the community, but they want to ensure all potential concerns are addressed.

“We should be coming to the membership with something that we can strongly recommend ourselves… There should be no good valid reason this wouldn’t be approved,” said O’Reilly, adding that they want to “hurry up as best we can.”

Without a membership vote in favour of the land transfer, Ross Video will have to look for other options.

The contamination plume has also moved northwest and new wells and a new contamination zone will also need to be established.

Councillor Archie Mellan pointed out that there is no existing agreement in place with landowners where the current wells are located, which presented a new potential problem.

Dundas from this day forward to cover the Williamsburg landfill, which has been existence for how many years? We only have a little dribble set aside to do it. You’ve gotta look at future costs in this kind of situation,” he said.

An idea put forward by Wells would see the municipality go toward a user-pay system rather than just increasing taxes. Though he insisted that acceptance of the idea hinges on residents knowing what they are paying for.

“I’m just looking at it as a business. At the end, it’s got to be paid for. I think if everyone has seen it. Exactly what they’re paying for… they’ll accept it more than taxes go up six per cent,” he said.

Council also identified that proper sorting of waste at the landfill, proper disposal of high volume items such as mattresses, limiting or increasing fees on construction waste, a household waste compost plan and an aggressive waste diversion program as part of the solution.

Deputy-Mayor Kirsten Gardner was the most vocal about “counteracting the throwaway society” with education and better programs to save space in the landfill.

“We have to be really aggressive with diversion. It’s not included in this, but there does have to be some costing for household waste diversion,” she said.

With council favouring an expansion and continuing to offer waste pick up as a municipal service rather than con-

What now?

Councillor Lloyd Wells summed it up best: “We’ve gotta come up with a lot of money here.”

Such is the situation left to the 11th hour and stark options, some with price tags to match, were tabled, as well as some necessary changes in attitude.

Of most pressing concern was the need to do the preliminary work to apply for an expansion, which was estimated to cost between $70,000 and $100,000 by WSP. Director of public works, Jeff Hyndman made a strong case for the purchase of a refurbished packer, which would compact the waste and save space in the landfill, at a cost of $210,000.

Council was in favour of both items being explored further, but Byvelds pointed out that just running the waste collection services at status quo levels costs more than $900,000 each year.

Those days are gone.

“Keep this in mind when you are building your new landfill. Someday down the road it has to be filled in. As I said before, we’re now going to expect the residents of South

Ross Video is at maximum capacity in its 65,000-square-foot space for its 225 employees.

“If we couldn’t do this, we could build sort of to fit the land we own. That wouldn’t be as good and significantly more expensive,” said Poapst.

Another option is to build or lease in a different area, perhaps Ogdensburg, but that is hardly ideal for Ross Video, the village or the municipality.

Mayor Steven Byvelds and the rest of council were effusive in their support.

“This expansion is great news for South Dundas. It puts us up even further in the world of technology,” said Byvelds.

“It will mean more opportunities for jobs, especially to young people who want to do hi-tech and stay at home. Also, having a business of this caliber may entice more to follow.”

When asked if a formal list of concerns have been presented, Poapst said he had not received one to date and that the dialogue has been casual.

“It’s been all verbal. [O’Reilly] doesn’t feel empowered to put

anything in writing on behalf of the Legion because he’s just acting as the mediator here. So I’ll get a phone call or I’ll meet with [him].

He’s been great,” said Poapst.

“The Legion didn’t ask for this. It’s status quo from their perspective.

We need the space to expand.”

O’Reilly echoed that sentiment characterizing the negotiations as “top notch.”

One major concern that has been addressed was the proximity of the new building, which was moved back approximately eight metres to a distance of 24 metres, as well as the addition of a paved fire lane for Legion delivery truck access.

O’Reilly was also confident progress was being made saying “we’re pretty close to going to the membership with this” and pointed out that the committee is now waiting for the latest design and proposal from Poapst.

The unforeseen delay and lack of a resolution has set the project back four months and could have other implications.

tracting it to an outside source, Byvelds insisted a new attitude was necessary.

“If we go down the road of running our own landfill, we have to get much more professional about it,” he said. “We would have to run it like it’s a business.”

Many of the options discussed and the change in approach were first suggested in a report tabled by former landfill supervisor Gabriel Lefebvre, which was publicly acknowledged by Byvelds.

“We need to dig out a former employee’s report because if that had been followed, we would not be sitting here today. Right, councillor Mellan? There were a lot of good ideas in there,” he said.

Mellan agreed and held up a copy of the report he had been perusing.

Gardner went a step further.

“If we could maybe hire the author of that excellent plan back… just saying. You’re going to have to have somebody who understands all of that to make it happen,” she said.

up, which expires with Miller Waste Systems next year.

Byvelds was adamant the municipality would not borrow money to update their waste services and instead offered that a user pay model must be considered. North Grenville currently charges $1.75 per bag and they are on a full transfer station system with the other 50 per cent of the costs paid for through taxation.

While going to user-pay system may be jumping the gun with a regional landfill plan still possible, the municipality can’t afford to wait.

“Others have done it. We wouldn’t be the first. We would be the first in SD&G. The counties are still looking at waste, but if that drags on too long we’ll have nothing, then we’re behind the eight-ball,” said Byvelds.

Staff was directed to provide an extensive report in October that outlined costs and estimates for many of the options discussed, including the cost of commercial waste, fees, diversion and educational programs, composting and a used packer.

One thing is certain, the cost of waste is going up.

“We haven’t socked enough away to deal with the closure costs. I’m not going to blame anybody for that because every council in the past never thought of that number until recently. If it means we’re not doing a road, we’re not doing a road,” said Byvelds. “We’ve gotta hope that if we do this right, people will be fairly accepting of it. Not everybody’s going to, but we can try our best.”

The cost

With an eye on the upcoming budget, council is preparing for the worst. The covering of the Williamsburg landfill, the new Matilda expansion report and current operations will see the budget go from approximately $900,000 to $2.5-million. That doesn’t include clay cover that is required at the Matilda site or a new contract for curbside pick-

“It has the risk of costing us next summer. There’s two new products coming out next fall and I’m not sure where I’m going to build them yet. So we’re going to lose a little bit of money the longer this goes on,” said Poapst.

Both sides remain hopeful a deal can be reached and they will break ground on the project in May 2020.

“I’m pretty sure we’re going to get there, but it’s taking time,” said Poapst.

DOUBLE BEAUTY CELEBRATES 30 YEARS IN BUSINESS

A beautiful partnership

BY JOSEPH MORIN joe@winchesterpress.on.ca

WINCHESTER – Double Beauty celebrated 30 years of sharing its fashion sense and beauty skills with the community Thurs., Sept. 5 with a party at the Lion’s Hall in Winchester.

The get together was a special occasion for Jeannine and Jeannette Bourgeois, twin sisters who got together three decades ago to create a landmark business in the area.

Jeannine remembered how it all began.

“Our business name came about while I was working at a beauty salon in Ottawa,” she said.

Back then her sister Jeannette was attending Versaille Academy for esthetics.

One day, Jeannette had dropped by where Jeannine was working and a

customer mistakenly thought this was the person who had just finished cutting her hair. The customer offered a tip to Jeannette.

The twins explained to the customer they were often confused with each other.

About a week later the same customer dropped by and mentioned that if the two sisters ever started up their own business it could be called Double Beauty, two beauty services, hair and esthetics, delivered by twins.

“Jeannette and I agreed that it was a perfect name,” said Jeannine.

Jeannette started her esthetic business in the spring of 1989 and the pair joined forces Sept. 5 of that year.

The two opened Double Beauty Esthetics and Hairstyling in the building that now houses Mr. Mozzarella.

“After much success we decided

to have our own building ding built where we are situated ated today,” said Jeannette.

The grand opening ng in the new building took ok place on Sept. 5, 1992.

“We have never reegretted that decision,”” said Jeannette.

“When you play all day and have fun why would you retire?” said Jeannine.

The two keep up with latest beauty trends by attending different conferences each year that highlight the best new beauty styles and fashions.

“It’s never boring,” said Jeannette.

Jeannine said the two have very positive personalities and that makes for a happy workplace.

Heritage House showcases renewed spa space

BY JOSEPH MORIN joe@winchesterpress.on.ca

WINCHESTER – The Heritage House Health Spa held its official opening Sat., Sept. 7.

The spa is the second one owned and operated by Natalie Brundige, who also has a location in Morrisburg.

The St. Lawrence Street facility features four treatment rooms, one common room and a reception area. To keep up with demand for her services, Brundige has a staff of 15 who have different specialties.

The spa offers massage ther-

apy, as well as cranial sacral therapy and acupuncture, orthotherapy, relaxation esthetic massage, reiki healing treatment, chakra balancing treatments, aroma touch technique, rejuvenation face massage just to name a few of the many diverse and beauty specialties available.

Brundige said, “In the beginning I ran the spa out of my home in Morrisburg. Eventually I needed more space. I needed to expand.”

Originally from Winchester, she decided to open a second spa here.

LOCAL UPGRADES

COUNTY SCHOOLS GET OVERHAUL WINCHESTER – While students were out of the classroom for the summer, the Upper Canada District School Board went about work at its properties.

In Dundas County, four different educational facilities were featured in the capital works department.

Chesterville Public School saw the protective surfacing that is incorporated with its playground equipment replaced for $66,885, while Iroquois Public School saw the

addition of a portable, costing $87,760.

South Mountain’s Nationview Public School was equipped with a new fence area for its childcare wing, which is managed by Happy Face Nursery School. The project’s cost was $9,439.

North Dundas District High School had sections of its roof replaced, the bulk of the rehabilitation focused in the tech wing of the Maple Ridge facility. The work’s price tag rang in at approximately $1.1 million.

“This was an awesome opportunity,” said Brundidge.

Despite all the hard work setting up the new location she feels it was worth it. “It’s not work if you are having fun,” she said, “The people I hire all have very specialized skill sets.”

Brundige said once people give her services a try, they enjoy the experience and they want to come back.

“There is something here for everybody,” she said.

Her attitude is simple, insisting people leave The Heritage House Health Spa with a smile.

Campground and airport building takes off MORRISBURG – After numerous delays that would make any travel weary stranded passenger weep, the contract to build the Iroquois Campground and Airport building was officially awarded Tues., Sept. 3 by South Dundas council.

The winning bid of $532,199 was put forward by Wells & Son Construction – a company owned by Councillor Lloyd

Wells. While it is unusual that a sitting councillor operate a company with the winning bid, Wells had declared a conflict of interest and removed himself from any discussions after making it clear he intended to bid on the project.

Of the total cost, the municipality will contribute $370,000 with John Ross, who spearheaded the design, picking up the rest.

Quick wins

The total budget will include demolition of the current building, a new parking lot, natural gas connection, all of the construction costs including a steel roof and landscaping, the cost of all services to be provided

by EVB and the municipal legal counsel.

WHAT EVERY STUDENT SHOULD KNOW TO PREVENT FIRE LOOK WHILE YOU COOK: Stay in the kitchen when cooking – especially if using oil or high temperatures. If a pot catches fire, have a proper-fitting pot lid handy to slide over the pot and turn off the stove. Cooking requires constant attention.

Distractions like televisions, cell phones, or computers can lead to a tragic cooking fire.

CANDLE WITH CARE: If you use candles in your room or apartment, keep them away from anything that can burn and place them in a safe, sturdy holder with a glass shade or hurricane chimney.

Place them where they cannot be knocked over and blow them out when leaving the room.

KEEP AN EYE ON EXCESSIVE DRINKERS: Alcohol is a common factor in many fire fatalities involving cooking and smoking. Be aware of roommates and friends who have been drinking excessively, especially if they are cooking or smoking.

SMOKE OUTSIDE: Establish rules for smokers.

If you permit smoking inside, use large, sturdy ashtrays that can’t be easily tipped over. Ashtrays should be emptied into a metal container not the garbage can. Check around furniture cushions after people have been smoking, especially if they have been drinking.

USE ELECTRICITY WISELY: Toasters, coffeemakers and microwaves should be plugged directly into an outlet. If you must use an extension cord, buy one that is the correct gauge for the appliance and has a or or approval mark on the label. or approved power bars may be used for stereo equipment, computers and lights.

CLEAR THE CLUTTER: Keep things that burn away from heat sources like stove tops, space heaters and electronic equipment.

Tea towels and paper too close to burners can catch fire. Keep space heaters at least one metre away from bedding, furniture and curtains.

WORKING SMOKE ALARMS: IT’S THE LAW: Your room or apartment must have working smoke alarms.

Test them monthly and notify the landlord immediately if they’re not working. Dead batteries must be replaced right away.

Nuisance alarms can be avoided by making sure smoke alarms are not located too close to the kitchen or bathroom. Consider getting a smoke alarm with a hush feature. Smoke alarms should be checked after any extended absence such as Christmas break and reading week. Never tamper with or disable a smoke alarm.

PLAN TO ESCAPE: Know two ways out of your room or apartment in case of fire. Identify all exits and make sure you can use them. If you live in a highrise, familiarize yourself with the building’s fire safety plan. If you discover fire, call the fire department from a safe location outside.

BE EQUIPPED: To stay safe, all students should put together a package that includes a smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm, a battery powered lantern or flashlight and radio, extra batteries and a or approved power bar.

BEAT THE SILENT KILLER: Your room or apartment will require carbon monoxide alarms if there is a fuel-burning appliance, fireplace or attached garage. Check with your landlord to ensure that CO alarms have been installed adjacent to all sleeping areas.

SAME TIME, NEXT YEAR

Global sensation plays on Morrisburg stage MORRISBURG – A comedy by a little known Canadian playwright premiered on Broadway in 1975, and since then it’s become the most performed comedy in 40 languages around the world.

That play was Same Time, Next Year and the writer, Bernard Slade, created such a sensation with the show, that audiences lined up in excitement to see one of the theatre’s most memorable relationships unfold in one of the funniest and unforgettable love stories of all time.

The popularity of Same Time, Next Year continues to this day, and the show runs at the Upper Canada Playhouse until Sun., Sept. 29, offering audiences a comedy about everyday people experiencing the joys and challenges of everyday life.

It’s a comedy that gives them much to laugh and think about long after the final scene.

The kind of comedy that generates laughter and empathy – sometimes simultaneously.

Same Time, Next Year is about Doris and George, a cou-

ple who, although each married to someone else, have a romantic rendezvous in the same room, at the same hotel at the same time every year. During this marathon extramarital affair, the couple share a relationship that often grows closer than their actual marriages.

One of the entertaining and rewarding aspects of this show is the journey the audience takes with Doris and George as we visit them every five years through some of the most lifechanging times in their lives.

We’ll see how their lives change as we move from the Big Band era of 1951, the rock ’n roll and Elvis craze of the mid-’50s, the ’60s Vietnam War, JFK and the moon landing, and the hippie and womens’ lib generation of the ’70s.

Audiences can nostalgically reflect on these changing times as they witness how Doris and George are affected by the music, fashion, and social trends of the day. They also share in the ups and downs that these characters face through the decades.

Viviana Zarrillo and Nigel Hamer star in the Upper Canada Playhouse’s next production, Same Time, Next Year, which Courtesy Photo runs Thurs., Sept. 5 to Sun., Sept. 29.

Playhouse artistic director Donnie Bowes confesses to have wanted to produce Same Time, Next Year for some time.

Being such a popular play, the performance rights were often not available because of theatre companies having an op-

tion on it for touring purposes.

When The Playhouse and Orillia Opera House acquired the rights for a joint production this season, they were inundated with actors wishing to play these iconic characters. The hands-down choice

was the same dynamic couple who co-starred in last season’s Plaza Suite – Viviana Zarrillo and Nigel Hamer.

“This talented pair won audience’s hearts with their comedic flare and impressive acting chops,” Bowes said.

Besides recently seen in Plaza Suite, Zarrillo also starred in Playhouse productions of Halfway There, Last of the Red Hot Lovers and Whose Wives Are They Anyway. Her career has ranged from summer theatres and dinner theatre to the National Arts Centre and Shaw Festival. She can be seen on dozens of television commercials and plays a recurring role in the world-wide tween series, The Next Step.

Hamer has performed for several seasons at the Stratford Festival and has worked on Broadway and at London’s Grand Theatre. He has also played at many of the country’s regional theatres, Toronto’s Mirvish Productions and on a host of television shows, including Suits, Degrassi and The Good Witch.

HABITUAL CONSEQUENCES Much like an addict, the first step is admitting you have a problem.

We are addicted to consumerism. We like to buy things, hold them for a while and then throw them away. Never, ever thinking that once it has been released it would ever darken our doorstep again. Dust in the wind… as it were.

Well that wind is howling and it’s blown a big dirty trash bag directly in the face of South Dundas residents.

It is important to note that this is not a unique problem to this municipality, but rather the most poignant example of short-sighted thinking and the wasteful nature of consumerism that has come home to roost.

It’s a global problem that is ready to explode and unfortunately South Dundas finds themselves directly in the blast zone.

This edition of council saw a thorn and hasn’t dithered about how it got there, but instead decided to yank it out and plod on – not that there is much choice in the matter.

The problems are many, the costs to remedy them are high and time is short. It is simply the result of sloppiness, mismanagement and plain old negligence.

The reality is this generation will pay for yesterday’s ambivalence.

This is not to lay blame at the feet of those that came before. They simply didn’t know any better. We do now.

A pragmatic approach must be taken to ensure that

future generations won’t suffer the same fate and be left holding the trash bag.

There is no easy way out and it will cost a substantial amount of money, but it must be spent thoughtfully and with purpose – not the mindless laziness that created the problem in the first place.

So what to do next? The quick answer seems to be an expansion, but that is not a solution. It is simply putting a band-aid on a festering sore that won’t go away until the root of the problem is addressed, our consumer habits.

Some will argue that waste is simply a fact of life.

While that may be true, it need not be looked at as such.

Our landfills are simply an organized pile of human thoughtlessness. Properly sorted, processed and disposed of, our landfills could be looked at more as a resource and in some cases, a treasure trove of untapped potential. Approaching it as a business and a vital guardian of our environment would be a good start.

This shift in thinking was first presented by Gabriel Lefebvre, the former landfill supervisor, and it was publicly acknowledged by Mayor Steven Byvelds.

A feather in Lefebvre’s cap to be sure, but also a reminder that garbage requires a specialized approach.

Jeff Hyndman, director of public works, currently manages the landfill, but he is not educated enough, experienced enough or available to work in a full-time capacity for something that needs to be diligently managed down to the finite details.

Expecting him to carry this burden would be unfair and unproductive.

Lefebvre need not be hired back, but a person of his qualifications, at the very least, should be.

So, is an expansion the right answer? No, but it is the right answer right now if done properly and beyond the requirements set forth by a provincial government that ignores environmental stewardship in the name of profit and cutting red tape.

The numbers are gaudy, but it should be remembered that this is the cost of our throwaway society.

The challenge before us is that we must not look at this as an albatross around our necks. This is the time to innovate.

Just like the Seaway expansion defined a generation and left an indelible mark on the villages, and the world as a whole, so too can a re-imagination of how we approach waste. To create a solution, through all the quagmires and financial landmines, that works for the people, the environment and the bottom line is not only possible, but would be a monumental achievement.

Imagine that. The human mind, which is programmed to create monuments to our existence, could be used to create a legacy that leaves no trace of our wastefulness behind.

Should we not heed that call? Recognize that our habits have consequences and can’t simply be buried and forgotten. Then this is truly a waste and we will find ourselves back here again in the future.

Remember When 1929

1969

1989

The Winchester Press noted this week that if the citizens’ band “would give another Sunday night concert before the weather becomes too cold, it would be appreciated.”

Commencement exercises at North Dundas District High School featured a notable guest speaker in 1969. Laurier LaPierre, an associate professor at McGill University, spoke to the graduates, and he also took time to meet some of the graduating class when the ceremony was over.

Trustees with the Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry school board voted to give themselves a 6.6 per cent raise this week in 1989.

The chairman got a 42 per cent raise. As a result, the trustees’ salary would go from $7,500 to $8,000, and the chairman would be making $16,000, an increase of $4,750..

1939 An electrical storm that passed through the Winchester area on Sept. 4 caused considerable damage, with rain falling in torrents and the “sharpest lightning” seen that season.

1979

1949 The Adventures of Captain Morgan began appearing in the Press this week in 1949. The comic series followed Captain Harry Morgan through his adventures around Central America and the northern part of South America. It also offered what the Press called “entertaining and educational” qualities.

Ten students and one bus driver were sent to the hospital with injuries when two school buses collided on the first day of school.

Both buses were heading toward Winchester on County Road 43 when the lead bus stopped to let off students and the second bus rear-ended it.

1959 Organizers of the 1959 Winchester Trade Fair were expecting a record crowd to attend the event, which was to feature top talent from Ottawa. Among the anticipated entertainment nt were a fiddler, a Scottish dancer, and other short performances to be held throughout the day.

1979

1999 It was the end of an era when Winchester’s longest-running service club closed down.

The Winchester 100 Club – in existence since the 30s – folded due to a decline cline in membership and a lack of interest by existing members. The club’s thrift store on Main Street was handed over to the Winchester Lions Club.

Winchester’s RBC branch was undergoing an extensive overhaul of its exterior façade, all in an effort to double the size of the location. A fall opening was expected.

BACK TO SCHOOL IN NORTHCOTE

M

iss Crosby was high on good manners.

That first day back to the Northcote School, as she did every first day back, Miss Crosby stood behind her desk with her hands on her hips. That’s when we knew she meant business.

We didn’t have to write anything down. We were expected Mary to remember. First on the list was remembering to spring out Cook of our seats immediately when someone, like the inspector, walked in the door.

And we weren’t to lean on our desks either. Like soldiers going through a drill, we were to stand at attention until either the visitor or Miss Crosby nodded in our direction. There would be no need for a word to be spoken.

And of course, no one spoke out loud in school either. And whispering was out. We

would speak only if the teacher was asking a question, and that too demanded we spring from our seats and stayed standing until a nod was given in our direction.

You asked a question only after you raised your hand, and Miss Crosby said your name.

Now, if she happened to be talking to some other pupil, you kept your hand up in the air until you were given the “okay” to speak.

Of course, bad Marguirite who flaunted the rules to the point of exasperation, would wave her arm like a blade on a windmill until Miss Crosby would give a big sigh and say, “What is it, Marguirite?”

And of course, you never left your seat without permission. If you wanted to use the pencil sharpener, which was attached to the front windowsill, you had to ask.

If you had something to toss into the waste-

Cook’s Corner

basket at the front of the room, you had to ask. It seemed to me we had to ask permission for everything, including when to take our next breath!

When it came time for recess, either half way through the morning or mid-afternoon, the times never varied. I was always amazed at how Miss Crosby didn’t even have to look at the old CPR clock on the wall to make the announcement. She stood ramrod straight behind her desk, said it was recess, and we were expected to stand, turn toward the back of the school, and leave in an orderly fashion.

More than once, my brother Emerson and Cecil were ordered back to their seats because they were too anxious to escape.

Even going to the outhouse was done in an orderly fashion. And there was no embarrassment either in making the deed.

That was because not a word was spoken. If it was a quick trip, you pointed one finger to the ceiling. If the call was more urgent, and expected to take more time, you raised

two fingers. And once you got the “okay” from Miss Crosby, you quietly rose from your seat, went out and did your business, washed your hands in the basin on the bench at the backdoor, took your seat, and carried on.

Of course, when addressing the teacher, you repeated her name: “Yes, Miss Crosby,” and “No, Miss Crosby,” could be repeated a dozen times during the day.

Cecil said she just liked the sound of her own name.

It seemed to me little was done in the line of schoolwork on that first day back to school.

Most of the time was spent learning how to have good manners and obey the rules.

At the end of the day, our scribblers and books, and pencil box or pencil bag were arranged neatly in our desk drawers.

Everyone had their own hook at the back of the room and the lunch table had a new piece of oilcloth covering it for our lunches.

The Northcote School was on its way to another year.

Letter to the Editor COLLECTIVE MAKES COMPACTION SUCCESS The Editor:

As an ad-hoc director of the Dundas Soil and Crop Improvement Association (DSCIA), I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to all those who made the Eastern Ontario Compaction Day, held Thurs., Aug. 29 at the Sevita International site on Guy Road, a success.

The collaboration between DSCIA board and farm members, who belong to all sectors and associations within agriculture in

the county, OMAFRA’s Ontario Soil Compaction Team, and our many industry sponsors, made this educational event a tremendous success.

The countless hours put in by DSCIA, industry sponsors and OMAFRA over the days leading up to the event made this one-day showcase very much appreciated by the more than 300 attendees that day.

A big thank you to all!

IN THE SWING OF THINGS MAPLE RIDGE – North Dundas’ school year is off to a strong start.

New and returning students are gradually getting used to their routines as classes are now in full swing.

Additionally, sports and clubs are beginning to meet and train for the year ahead.

Cross-country training has started for any high school students interested in participating in this year’s season. Intermediate students are encouraged to sign up for soccer, and to be on the lookout for the sign-up sheet.

The North Dundas WE Team and OSAID club members are each assembling to begin planning this year’s initiatives and activities.

Finally, on Thurs., Sept. 5, Mr. Bourne and Mr. Bartsch held grade assemblies to introduce themselves to the students and go over some school rules, such as dress code, smoking policies, and electronic devices.

Hopefully this left students feeling informed and ready for the school year.

RAFFLE REWARD There wasn’t much to see on the box, but it didn’t dissuade Alacia McIntosh (second from right), who was unveiled as the big winner of the Chesterville and District Lions Club’s summer raffle, which featured a grand prize four-seat garden slider donated by Winchester BMR. The club had been selling tickets throughout the summer, all in the lead-up to the final draw at the Chesterville Fair. In the end, it was McIntosh’s name on the winning ticket, pulled from the more than 500 purchased.

DSCIA goes to ‘The Rock’ WINCHESTER – Fifty-six Dundas Soil and Crop Improvement Association members spent five days in Newfoundland this summer.

As part of the organization’s annual tour, seventeen stops were featured, including dairy farms, a cranberry expansion and tree nursery, an iron ore mine, wine vaults, historical sites, and more.

Hosts keyed in on a variety of issues with participants, such as the type of climate and soil with which to work in the province.

For instance, the forestry industry is becoming less viable,

and the government is looking to agricultural expansion due to its stability. Land leases are virtually free, other than the cost of clearing.

Tractor and equipment purchases come mainly from Nova Scotia, as there are no dealers in Newfoundland.

The yearly bus trip is a fundraiser for the association, and it sells out every summer.

Support like this allows the club to donate funds to service clubs in the community, and be one of the most successful in Ontario.

Dundas Soil and Crop Improvement Association members toured Newfoundland this summer as part of the club’s yearly tour of agriculture elsewhere in Canada.

OSGOODE – The Township of Osgoode Care Centre held a special day on Sun., Sept. 8.

It held a Grandparents Day celebration to pay homage to the structure of the family in nurturing, upbringing and education of children.

The afternoon event featured a performance by master illusionist Chris Pilworth, and Vanderlaand The Barnyard Zoo. Also at the care centre was Fries for Charity.

The event featured a special moment from Cycle Without Age who unveiled the centre’s new Trishaw. Only six facilities in Eastern Ontario have a Trishaw. The vehicle allows someone to take two riders at a time and pedal around the Care Centre grounds giving residents an adventure in the fresh air.

The Trishaw was purchased with a $10,000 donation from members of Shroomfest.

Cycle Without Age was invented in Copenhagen and has spread to 42 countries.

Pre-season promise for Hawks WINCHESTER – A pair of exhibition wins has the Winchester Hawks’ management looking forward to more promise to come when the regular season kicks off next week.

Both the Embrun Panthers and Ottawa West Golden Knights were at the Joel Steele Community Centre last weekend, with the Hawks rallying for the victories.

Against the Panthers Sun., Sept. 8, Kyle Kuehni netted the overtime winner, following up on his two-goal game Sat., Sept. 7 versus the Golden Knights.

The veteran centre will also wear the “C” for Winchester this season.

“I’m very happy with the weekend… There is lots of room for improvement, but I think we have the talent to work with,” general manager Dom Menard said. “We are especially pleased with the camaraderie that has developed early on… There is a

real buzz amongst the guys.”

The Hawks were in Brockville Wed., Sept. 4 to take on the Tikis, falling by a 7-5 mark. Rookie members of the squad carried the load, however, with Nathan Lassenba netting two markers, and Nicolas Corry and Alex Bergeron following with a goal each.

“They each worked both ends of the ice well,” Menard said.

Early on there has been a sign of light that’s been sorely needed with the Hawks.

Though the club missed the playoffs by just nine points last year, bested by the Char-Lan Rebels, Winchester struggled to keep the puck out of its own end, giving up 186 goals in the process.

Ahead of the season’s start, Menard noted the club now has a defence core that should help shift the pace of play.

“This year we’re in a better spot defensively… We’re going to be better prepared to play a defensive game this year,” he said.

WINCHESTER – The Winchester Heat totalled 30 runs through three games as the tier four squad chased down its first-ever National Capital Baseball League title.

In the deciding game three Sun., Sept. 8 at Morgan Field, Brayden Cochrane toed the rubber, twisting up Bytown Bombers batters in the process.

Across seven innings of work, Cochrane struck out nine, giving up just six hits for four runs, and walking five.

It was a masterful performance for the starter, who avenged being roughed up by the same Bombers squad last season as the Heat fell short in the championship final.

Winchester’s run to the title was a feat not often seen in sports, as the club piled up 12 straight wins to end the regular season, edging out the Dukes by three points to claim the tier pennant.

In the post-season, the Heat rolled past the Irish with a round one sweep, and stumbled but once in the semi-final series with the Knights, tying game two 19-19.

Polishing off the Bombers in three games pushed Winchester’s eventual undefeated string to 20 games.

Buoyed by the success, and back-to-back trips to the division championship, Winchester will be looking to advance to tier three ahead of next season.

Finals run

line sees Kyle Fleming and Nolan Guertin pairing with Marco Haw, who came to the Hawks in a deal that sent former starting goaltender Brent Pledge Dickson to the Golden Knights.

Game one of the championship was played Tues., Sept. 3 at Morgan Field.

Cochrane was on the mound in the opener, working seven innings in a 6-2 Heat victory.

In all, he fanned 12 Bombers’ batters, while surrendering six hits and two runs, one earned.

Offensively, Winchester put up runs in the third, fifth, and sixth inning, though the highlight was Brandon Buma’s third-inning grand slam, which erased a 2-0 Bombers lead.

Game two Fri., Sept. 6 was a more tightly-contested, and rain soaked, affair. Eric Heldens toed the rubber for five innings, getting roughed up for nine runs on seven hits.

Winchester’s offense, however, bailed him out.

In all, the Heat would put up 13 runs, including a five-run fifth inning.

Roster work for Rockets WINCHESTER – A little more than a week removed from the season-opening National Capital Junior Hockey League showcase, executives with the North Dundas Rockets continue to fine tune the team’s roster.

An exhibition game Sat., Sept. 7 at Winchester’s Joel Steele Community Centre was to serve as a precursor to an eventual drawdown of the list, but the lopsided affair was far from an indication of what’s to come.

General manager Robyn Sadler noted that “it wasn’t much of a game, unfortunately,” given that the visiting Metcalfe Jets were short quite a few players.

In the end, the Rockets steamrolled to a 13-4 victory.

Highlights included a five-point night

from Jarrett Williams, and four points from the returning Brett Lannin, who is back with North Dundas after a stint with the Elliott Lake Wildcats of the Junior “A” Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League.

“That’s a couple of local boys making an impact in the game for sure,” Sadler said.

Four local midget-aged players also suited up with the Rockets, with Cam Sherrer, Curtis Bowman, Kobe Young and Owen Richardson getting a feel for the junior ranks.

A key roster move made last week saw North Dundas sign Josh Tapp, who last year played with the “AA” Gloucester Rangers.  CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

United clinch first CHESTERVILLE – What a way to end the year.

Riding a season-long unbeaten streak, the North Dundas United OT6 ripped the visiting Carleton Place Rangers 15-2 at the Chesterville Fairgrounds Fri., Sept. 6.

The win pushed the United’s final record to 13-0-1, and the likelihood of being promoted to a higher division next season.

In the goal-scoring melee, Dave Mathers buried five, Jason Eitzen and Rodney MacKilligan both had three, and Ed Irvine and Dan Jeaurond had two each.

Ahead of Sept. 6’s match, Duy Ngo, Eitzen and MacKilligan each scored and Tony Wouters had the

clean sheet as the United defeated the White Eagles 3-0 Fri., Aug. 30.

Ladies win in finale

Sara Hunt scored twice and Taylor Shelp added another as the North Dundas United wrapped up their 2019 campaign with a 3-2 victory over Croatian Jadran Thurs., Aug. 29.

The ladies will finish with a 9-2-4 record and will finish no worse than fourth. They are currently tied with the Carleton Place Tornado and Ottawa TFC although both of those teams have games remaining.

Janessa Byers had an excellent season and currently leads the league in scoring with 13 and her teammate Kaitlyn Thurler sits in third with 10.

COPS WRANGLE ROBBERS The 37th annual Cops and Robbers Golf Tournament went ahead under sunny skies Fri., Sept. 6 at Cloverdale Links north of Winchester. In all, 100 golfers took part in the event, generating $1,300. According to co-organizer Tylor Copeland (front, left), a constable with the SD&G detachment, the funds will be directed to a local family in need. Also pictured in front are “robber” Brian Williams (middle) and co-organizer Jeremy Geurts.

Spencer Heldens paced the output, launching a three-run homerun in the seventh inning. (The game’s final inning continued ahead of game three’s start Sept. 8 after rain forced its suspension two days earlier.)

The Heat was down 2-0 going into the fourth inning of game three, but the offensive outburst was soon to come.

In its half of the frame, Winchester’s batters went on a roll, piling up seven runs and quickly erasing any hint of a deficit. Catcher Josh Stubbings had himself a night, knocking out three hits and totalling three RBIs. Through three games in the final, Cochrane was called upon in each and he did his best to ensure the Heat ended the season with a championship. A final pitching line of 22 strikeouts, seven walks, 12 hits, and seven runs earned him unanimous support for the Most Valuable Player Award.

RALLYING FUTURE ROCKETS The North Dundas Rockets are in the midst of pre-season workouts and on-ice training, but it didn’t stop members of the local junior team from lending their skills to benefit young players with the township’s minor hockey association. Again this season, the Rockets, along with members of the team’s management, held a week-long “skills and drills” camp, going over the basics of the game and fine-tuning different Uhrig Photo techniques before play gets underway next month.

Hawks: High hopes for season Of the Pledge Dickson trade, Menard said it wasn’t an easy decision to make in terms of evaluating the assets, but one thing was abundantly clear – the Hawks were looking to get value back.

“In that respect, yes it was difficult, but on a personal level, no not at all,” he said.

“I think overall, we’re very, very happy with the deal. I know Ottawa West is happy with the deal.”

 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9

Along with Haw, Winchester also received defenceman Noah Weatherall, who had 12 points in 34 games last season.

The Hawks goaltending situation has also been sorted out, with veteran Lucas Devries having recommitted to the club.

“With Devries back, we’re okay. We’ll be fine – he can carry the ball,” Menard said.

Predictions this early on are often fool-

Rockets focus on rounding out roster “I watched Josh play there last year, and I am really excited to have him playing ‘D’ for us this year,” Sadler said.

The Rockets still have some players skating with CCHL2 teams, with each expected back in the North Dundas line-up this season.

Roster spots have also been juggled given the series of trades made, with North Dundas shipping the playing rights of Simon Juneau-Richer to the GatineauHull Volant in exchange for future considerations, and sending Mckay Balaton

DEJONG MASONRY

to Metcalfe for players to be named later.

Hugo Lusignan was also sent to the Volants.

“On the whole, I like the core we have to start the year and will continue in the next couple of weeks to round out the roster,” Sadler said.

“As always, this is a stressful time of year, as it is never easy to make decisions when you have kids trying out for a team they are hoping to make.”

The general manager noted the roster should be better solidified following this

ish, but the club’s coaching staff is fully committed to a single goal – a post-season berth.

“The goal right now is to make the playoffs. If everything stays in the right spot, we should be able to challenge for one of the top three spots,” Menard said.

“A lot could happen, but we could use that spark. We’ll all be very, very happy if we can get into a real playoff series.”

In loving memory of a dear husband, father, and great-grandfather who passed away Sept. 11, 2015.

Wings of a Dove When troubles surround us, When evils come, The body grows weak, The spirit grows numb.

When these things beset us, He doesn’t forget us He sends down His love, On the wings of a dove.

– Love Doreen and family

BELLEFEUILLE, STEVE May 27, 1980 September 13, 2006 Those we love don’t go away, They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed and very dear.

We miss you Steve and always will.

Forever in our hearts.

Love, Mom, Dad, Shon, Krista, Alyssa and Granny Olga

Love now and forever, Earl L. Windsor and your children, grandchildren and daughters-in-law.

The soul – framed by Christian tradition and intellectual curiosity – is accessible to those who interacted in the shaping and in the understanding of its essence.

You know who you are. You know how you loved and were loved. That has made all the difference.

Forever in Your Corner End-of-body arrangements are entrusted to Byers Funeral Home, South Mountain, Ont., (613989-3836), Henderson’s treasured birthplace.

A Graveside Funeral Service will be held at South Mountain Union Cemetery, Nation River Road on Sat., Sept. 14, 2019 at 2 pm.
