Purvis Hall in the 1920's, with Leahurst in the background The Heritage Advisory Committee [HAC] of the Municipality of North Grenville is undertaking an evaluation of the buildings on the Kemptville Campus property to evaluate any cultural heritage value they may have. The HAC are following up on a project which was initiated last year to establish a Heritage Register to identify such buildings in the municipality. The valuation would be made under the terms of the Heritage Evaluation Manual which has been produced under the Ontario Heritage Act. At recent meetings of the HAC, it was decided to make the Kemptville Campus the location for the
first of these evaluations, and the recent acquisition of the property by the municipality makes it a logical choice for the project. According to the municipality: “The final recommendation by the Committee may include placing certain properties on the register. It may also identify whether there would be merit in exploring further options, such as designation of any properties. However, it is important to note that no designations will be proposed as part of this project. All that is being considered currently is placement on the register�. The buildings under review include the Administration Building, Purvis Hall and Leahurst House. Leahurst
was originally the homestead farmhouse of the McCargar family, built around 1845. The other two buildings date from after the College was opened in 1919. The project will also allow the HAC to evaluate the Manual itself, and determine its usefulness for future projects in North Grenville. Should it prove valuable, and should council approve, the HAC would them conduct similar evaluation studies in other parts of the municipality. It is hoped to have the Kemptville Campus evaluation study completed by June and a report to council made on July 9.
Tick removal:

How to safely get them out
(NC) Warmer weather brings with it barbecues, camping and sunny days on the water. It also increases the activity of ticks, especially near wooded areas. Ticks are a concern because of the increase in the number of cases of Lyme disease and risk of other tick-borne disease in Canada each year. It's essential to take steps to protect yourself by using bug spray and doing regular tick checks after spending time outdoors. If you do get bitten by a tick, it's important to remove it right away to reduce your chances of getting infected. Here are simple steps to follow that are recommended by the Public Health Agency of Canada for safe tick removal. 1. Using clean tweezers, grasp the head as close to the skin as possible and slowly pull straight out. Try not to twist or crush the tick. Visit your healthcare professional immediately if you are not comfortable with removing a tick or you cannot remove it yourself. 2. If the mouthparts break off and remain in the skin, remove them with tweezers or, if you are unable to remove them easily, leave them alone and let the skin heal. Consult your healthcare professional. 3. Wash the bite area and yours hands with soap and water or disinfect with alcohol-based hand sanitizer. 4. Try to save the tick in a sealed container and record the date of the bite. Bring it to your medical appointment as it may help your healthcare professional assess you. 5. Do not apply lotions, creams or nail polish to the tick or try to burn the tick off, as this may increase the risk of infection. If you feel unwell or are concerned about your health following a tick bite, contact your healthcare professional.
