Municipality of North Grenville Mayor Nancy Peckford was invited to drop the official puck for the Kemptville 73's home opener with the Captains taking the draw. Kemptville 73's Jared Patterson and Nepean Raiders Beau Binnie presented opening puck to her worship as a momentum of the occasion. by the sportsguy After a steady showing during their pre-season schedule against the Smiths Falls Bears, to post a tie and OT win, and a loss to Kanata Lasers and Brockville Braves, our boys of Winter were pumped for their initial home opener facing the Nepean Raiders.

Mayor Nancy Peckford was present to drop the puck to officially launch the season at Friday night’s home opener, as the boys double downed on their opponents with a 6 to 3

victory for their fans. With new sweaters showing off a new improved logo, they were all dressed up for the dance: and what a dance it was.

73's struck first with man advantage, and the combination of Suzuki with Brazier, when Luke Jefferies picked up the rebound to drive it behind Andrew Rose at 7:40 for PPG. Raiders countered at 12:11 with Josh Shimizu, from Shanklin and McQuade, to find open space by Riley McCabe

to even it up at one to end initial period. Kemptville slammed 13 to 8 SOG and spent most of the first in the opposition zone.

Second stanza was owned by the 73's, as Broda to Brazier to allow Evan Mitchell, pinching from point, to ram it home at 6:29 for the tie breaker.

Go-ahead goal for the 73's when Chase Broda picked up his first goal of the season from Lammi and Wood to launch a missile top shelf at 15:33. Third marker for 73's at 17:20 the SBJ pen-

Limerick Poker Ride 2019 for Local Food Banks

by Monica Treidlinger The Eastern Ontario Horses of Course Club is proud to host the Limerick Forest Poker Ride 2019. This charity ride will be held on September 22, 2019 in Limerick Forest Area 1 (also known as The Pit). The proceeds from this event will go to local food banks.

This is essentially the same great ride that Audrey Rooney of Rooney Feeds Ltd. had organized for the past 12 years, including well marked

trails through a beautiful forest, a meal and beverages, and the chance to win prizes with good poker hands, and other prizes. Many of the same volunteers are also still involved. The only difference is the charity that the ride supports.

Riders are asked to donate $50 to participate in this ride.

There will also be a food drive at the event where riders can exchange a food item for a chance at a better card to improve their hand. Riders

come away with a T-shirt, an outing on horseback in the forest, quality time with friends, and the knowledge they are helping others in need.

And who says horses and ATVs don’t get along?

Members of the Johnstown ATV Club will be at the BBQ, cooking smoked ham and hamburgers as the main part of the lunch offering.

Limerick Forest trails are multi-use, and this is one way to encourage all users

of the trails to cooperate for everyone’s safety.

To register for this ride, visit https://limerick-forestpoker-run-2019.webnode. com.

For more information, contact Monica Treidlinger (President, Horses of Course Club) at monicatreidlinger@ gmail.com, or Ann Hedberg (Vice-President, Horses of Course Club at annhedberg529@gmail.com).

We hope to see you at the ride.

Take Back the Night 2019

by Kathy-Ann Laman Take Back the Night is an international event about women reclaiming the right to be free of violence and to be able to be wherever they may choose, whenever they want, without being fearful.

The Anti-Violence Coalition is proud to be hosting this event in North Grenville for the first time. This year’s rally and march will be held in downtown Kemptville on September 19 from 6 pm to 7:30 pm. We are gathering at Rotary Park on the corner of Clothier and Prescott Street, where people are welcome to create their own signs for the march. At 6:30, we will rally together with guest speakers who will raise awareness about issues facing women,

LGBTQ and others in our community, and take a stand on each person’s right to feel safe where we are without the threat of violence. At 7 pm, we will begin our march in Old Town Kemptville, first by doing the Sanders/Rideau Street triangle, and then the Prescott/Asa/Water Street loop. Everyone is welcome to attend. Participants are encouraged to bring noisemakers, signs, and to wear comfortable walking shoes.

Please be aware that there is uneven pavement on the route.

Burritt’s Rapids recognises heritage homes

by David Shanahan It was just a spontaneous thing, really. Burritt’s Rapids resident, Olivia Mills, was visiting Charlottetown, P.E.I., when she noticed that many of the old heritage houses had little plaques on them, giving the date they were built, and the name of the original owner. This, she thought, would look really good at home.

Olivia arrived in the village fifty years ago, with an Irish sense of history and heritage. In 1993, to mark the two hundredth anniversary of Burritt’s Rapids, she and fellow-resident, Renee Smith,

produced a book which they described as “a collection of history, photographs, anecdotes and memories” about the village.

Arriving back from P.E.I., Olivia described the heritage plaques to Renee and decided that they would put a similar plaque on her house. Encouraged by Renee’s husband, Brad, they found someone to make the plaques and the first one went up on Olivia’s house. Built in 1841, and the oldest house in the village, the John Strachan French home was the appropriate one to be noted first.

But then, as people no-

ticed the plaque, they approached Olivia about how to get one for their home, and so it began. Each homeowner pays for the making and mounting of their own plaque, although there is sometimes funding to support the initiative. Brad makes the arrangements with the makers, and it is a completely voluntary, resident-led project.

At first, the plaques were confined to homes along Grenville Street, then to the buildings on the island part of the village. But they are spreading further afield, and some homes on the Ottawa side of the river have also

joined in.

The project is a wonderful example of community at work: and Olivia believes it will help to maintain the traditional sense of Burritt’s Rapids as a community in the future. This, she was afraid, could be lost as new people gradually settled there, unaware of the depth of history and heritage which they were inheriting as residents of Burritt’s Rapids. These plaques are a constant reminder to residents and visitors alike, of the stories and people who came before them, and of whose heritage they are heirs.

Changes

by David Shanahan There is a saying popular among planners, bureaucrats and politicians, one which you have heard many times: “Growth pays for Growth”.

The idea is that, by allowing development, whether residential or commercial, the various fees and taxes levied on the new projects will cover the cost of providing necessary infrastructure to cater for the new growth.

Infrastructure means, in this case, roads, water and sewage pipes, and municipal services. On the face of it, this makes perfect sense and should work out fairly well.

Unfortunately, the past history of North Grenville seems to indicate that the system can go astray in achieving its aims. Sometimes, one got the feeling that development was taking place at local taxpayers’ expense; that, somehow,

the deals being made with developers didn’t seem to make economic sense. That may not be the case, but it is certainly the impression many got at the time. I also keep reminding people of the fiasco that is the North West Quadrant, where it seems, again, that development that was promised and for which permission was granted, was completely altered in reality to change the look, nature and character of the development that actually took place.

Let’s hope all of that is in the past. Previous councils had some very odd ideas. One mayor had as a principle that the municipality had to “grow or die”, a rather dramatic approach to growth. If you think about that, it would mean that the community could never stop allowing development of all kinds, or else we would cease to be able to maintain ourselves. But there is, and

has to be, a limit to how much “growth” and development we can allow, unless we want to cover every acre of the municipality in concrete and ticky-tacky boxes (as Pete Seeger called them).

Undirected, or badly directed development has really had a negative impact on the community. Allowing the North West Quadrant to be developed as it has, before getting the expansion of County Road 43 finished, was irresponsible, to say the least. What it means now is that, once work starts on CR43, traffic will either be reduced to one lane for many months, or else the road will be closed completely to install an extra bridge over the South Branch. All the traffic that commutes from the 416 to west of CR44, and which is already heavy and almost gridlocked as things stand, will get much worse.

There were a number of complaints raised by various

developers when the council announced that they would be raising Development Charges [DCs] to try and cover the costs of future development. Some of these complaints have a validity, especially for local builders, who already can’t compete with the larger companies from outside North Grenville when it comes to buying land and building homes.

Of course, the municipality also has to cope with regulations and directives from the provincial government that limit their freedom in this, as in so many areas.

There was a danger, as noted by local builders, that a rise in DCs would raise the cost of building a house so much that any hope of providing affordable housing would be impossible.

The added costs from DCs would be tacked on to new houses, and make them unaffordable, in that context. It is good to see that the new

DC rules exempt affordable housing, at least for now. At the same time, it has been known for years now that Kemptville urgently needs a new water treatment plant, which is calculated to cost well over $30 million. This is one of those facts which undermine the idea that we need growth to survive. The more we grow, the more infrastructure we need. To pay for that, we need more growth and more revenue from DCs, and other taxes on residents. If Growth is to pay for Growth, which it hasn’t yet, then that growth needs to be carefully managed and based on long term planning. Yes, the more people move into all those new houses, the more revenue from property taxes goes to the municipality. It is a fascinating balance which has to be maintained by the municipality: and it requires that answers are found, in advance, to certain vital

now will be a better teacher?

An inclusive education instills a love of learning and encourages the development of inquiring minds through a variety of avenues. All subjects are of equal value supporting the growing and expanding mind. Focusing on numeracy as critical to student success implies that you are deeming mathematics to be superior to other subjects.

Mr. Ford, in case you are losing sleep at night over your concerns for Math Education, you can be sure that Math does come into play quite often when teaching the Arts, as does History, Geography, English and Science. Wasting tax payer’s money on developing and implementing yet another test for teachers I believe is a step backwards

and demeans the incredible work we already do.

If you are serious about improving math scores in our schools, my suggestion to you would be to address the more pressing issues of poverty, mental health, lack of support and resources for teachers and over crowding in the classroom. I could go on. If you want to strengthen a student’s ability to focus, memorize, and think critically unencumbered by life’s stressors, all important for student success, then make more room for creativity and exploratory learning, supported through Arts in Education.

As a dedicated professional, please consider removing the Math test requirement for all teachers.

our energies into our respective areas of expertise rather than those subjects that do not directly affect us.Anita Mitra OCT Sincerely, Anita Mitra OCT

questions.

Do we continue to allow new housing in North Grenville? How much is too much, if we want to keep the relatively rural character of the community? How far should we allow development in the rural areas, particularly in the hamlets, before they also lose their traditional character? North Grenville has already changed quite radically from what it was like when I first moved here twenty-five years ago. In 2007, the Historical Society, as part of a Time Capsule project for Kemptville’s 150th anniversary, photographed all of CR43 from the 416 to Somerville, all of Clothier and Prescott Streets too. Already, those pictures show a very different scene.

What will it be like when the capsule is opened in 2057?

That’s up to us.

Letters to the Editor An Open Letter to the Premier Dear Mr. Ford, I am writing in response to your government’s plan to implement math testing for future teachers before they are allowed in Ontario classrooms, with a long-term plan to implement mandatory annual math testing for all teachers in the province.

As an Arts teacher for over two decades (drama and visual arts to be specific), the thought of having to prove my ability as a teacher through the writing of a math test is like asking all Premiers to also write the same test to prove that their citizens will be better served.

Does demonstrating that a teacher can gain a satisfactory mark in math imply they

Dear Editor, This past weekend, someone down the road took the opportunity to burn large piles of brush, left over from land clearing. There was a high hoe feeding the fire, with leaping flames that were not deterred by the damp weather. The site made me think of the forest fires in the Amazon Basin. A situation in which most of the world wags a judgemental finger at Brazil, while saying “How can they do that?”

Which is more critical to us, a jungle 5,000 km away or the forests right here? I would argue that both are important. If we are going to be active in making this a good world to hand on to our children, we need to enlarge our value system and cherish that which has nurtured us since our beginning. Simple acts like taking a walk, paddling

North Grenville Composts

by Councillor Kristin Strackerjan After eight workshops over four weeks, the Municipality of North Grenville has delivered 62 composters and has, hopefully, encouraged as many households to take on the challenge of backyard composting. The workshops were delivered by four NG residents (Denise Mahoney, Diana Steadman, Bill Langenberg, and Paul Sharpe) in an informal way. The participants were engaged and had many questions about how they could get started, improve their current backyard composting set-up, and avoid some of the pitfalls that they had

previously encountered.

All-in-all, the feedback was very positive!

Seventy-one participants attended the Composting 101 Workshops, and many attended multiple different presentations to get different perspectives.

The split between rural and urban NG residents was nearly even. While a few participants came from outside of the Municipality and were not eligible for the free composters, they asked to participate so that they could get more information.

Two-thirds of the workshop participants did not currently compost. It was clear that the desire to learn more about composting was

workshops in June indicated that many respondents felt that they had ‘tried and failed’, didn’t know where to start, and simply wanted more information.

These workshops equipped the participants with the knowledge to get started and confidence to continue backyard composting.

The first waste audit was completed in June and July.

These pre-compost results will be compared against the results of the second waste audit set to take place during the third week of September. This comparison will be a very strong indicator of the success of this effort and will show how much waste may be diverted, at the household level, by composting in our own backyards. We have only scratched the surface on affordable, achievable ways for residents to reduce their waste footprint.

Thank you to Bill, Diana, Paul and Denise for volunteering their time to prepare and give these great presentations – you have inspired many! Thank you to Brandon for taking on the task to complete the valuable waste audit – the before and after results are very important.

not limited to geographical location or age.

At the May Discussion Forum on Waste Management, we discussed ways forward for our future waste management contract, currently set to expire in late 2020. The Composting 101 Workshops allowed us to collect some valuable perspectives from participants to help inform our approach to waste management at the municipal level. We asked each participant if they would agree to have their garbage picked up by Public Works Engineering Technologist and appointed waste auditor, Brandon Shipman, on their garbage collection day to allow for a ‘pre-composting’ waste audit to take place. Of residences that did not compost at the time of the workshop, 29% were selected to have their garbage undergo the waste audit.

Data collected from the 2019, 2017 and 2009 North Grenville waste audits tells the story: one-third (or more) of our curbside waste is organic, and almost all that organic waste is suitable for residential composting. So why are we throwing it away? The informal survey delivered at the Composting 101

Council seeks to increase development charges on new growth

After two months of consultation, Council voted Thursday evening (September 5th) to increase what are known as ‘development charges’ on future development in our community.

This is so that the Municipality has sufficient funds to invest in crucial infrastructure upgrades as the community grows. Development charges are reviewed every five years, and are subject to strict rules by the Province in terms of how increases are determined.

“Our community is facing up to a $31 million expansion at our sewage treatment plant in the next 3 to 5 years, crucial upgrades to both rural and urban roads, the expansion of local parks and trails, among other things, so that we can continue to ensure a high quality of life for all of our residents,” said Mayor Nancy Peckford.

“It is not fair to impose these costs on existing residents and businesses through residential or comSept. 11, 2019

mercial property taxes or other levies. Development charges are designed so that the costs related to some of this growth are assumed by those who choose to develop, build or expand here.

This better enables Council to keep everyone’s property taxes relatively stable.”

While development charge rates in rural areas are increasing, they will always be lower than those in urban areas because water and sewer services are unavailable to them. Further, North Grenville’s new rural development charges remain well below rural rates imposed by the City of Ottawa.

“Council recognizes that because we are authorizing increases to development charges throughout the Municipality (effective immediately), we want to do so in a way that is also fair to developers and the business community,” added Deputy Mayor Jim McManaman.

“With this in mind, we felt strongly that we should

adopt a phased-in approach so that we could better understand the potential impacts.”

This includes: - For the first year of these new development charges, only fifty percent of the increase will be applied.

- New businesses and residential development in the downtown area of Kemptville are fully exempt for a minimum of a year to support on-going efforts for revitalization.

- Those who paid a frontage fee in the Town of Kemptville in December, 1989, for the construction of Kemptville’s first sewage plant that replaced a sewage lagoon will see that fee indexed to today’s dollar value and deducted from any new development charges.

- Development that expands the availability of affordable housing will be exempt, and development charges will no longer be applied to builders who

choose to add a secondary unit (i.e. basement apartment or granny suite) in new homes.

- Those who plan to build in Service Area 1 will see a modest increase to development charges that is proportional to increases in other urban service areas in year 1.

Because of changes to Provincial legislation made under the Ford government, municipalities across Ontario are scheduled to make further amendments to their development charges bylaw to incorporate a new community benefits formula by the end of 2020. This will give North Grenville’s Municipal Council another opportunity to review and amend this new by-law within the next year.

In 2018, the municipality of North Grenville retained Andrew Grunda from Watson & Associates to prepare the background study detailing the reasons for any increase to development charges. The rationale for

increases must meet strict criteria from the provincial legislation (Development Charges Act).

North Grenville has had some form of development charges in place since 1999 as a mechanism through which “growth pays for growth’. Development charges are one of the primary tools at a municipality’s disposal to underwrite some of the costs of growth.

The Federal Election:

Interview with Josh Bennett, Liberal Party of Canada

In a series of interviews with candidates in next month’s federal election, the Times sat down with Josh Bennett of the Liberal Party.

Times: The level of Liberal support went up in the last general election, but dropped again in the byelection. Is Liberal support declining?

Josh: A by-election is a different animal. You get lower voter turnout, and the Conservative demographic will always come out to vote.

The Conservatives don’t need to work that hard to get their vote out because their voters vote. They tend to be an older demographic. So, therefore, in a by-election, if you’re not a Conservative, you’ve got a much bigger hill to climb. In the last election, voter turnout went way up, and the Liberal Party benefited from that.

That is a trend: you see that nationally, and you also see that here in this riding. Gord Brown’s percentage vote went way down at the last election, compared to 2011; but his vote count went down only a little bit. As a Liberal, then, I need to get the vote out. I need to convince the younger demographic, especially, that it is important to vote. That is partly why I got involved in politics in the

first place: to get my generation out. I’m 43, and lot of people my age are starting to wake up to think: “Maybe we should vote? Maybe this is important?”

I think there has been in my generation, an attitude of, “Oh well, it doesn’t really matter. It doesn’t matter who we elect, nothing will change.”

Times: That seems to be changing here in NG. New people are moving in and not seeing things the traditional way. Do you see that as you go around the riding?

Josh: There’s definitely some change. North Grenville has had the largest population growth and the largest demographic change.

NG is now the second-largest municipality in the riding, by a significant amount.

Brockville has always been the largest, at 20% of the riding, and NG is 16%. I think that, in the last election, NG was closer to 11%, so that is a huge growth in just four years. NG is a different trend.

We have younger families here because it’s in commuting distance from Ottawa and jobs in the Ottawa area.

And I think that one of issues that resonates is jobs for young families in this region. I had to leave

vatives, when many of your ideas are similar to Michael Barrett?

Josh: I would say that the Conservatives have become much more right wing than they used to be. When I was a Conservative, there were leaders like Jean Charest, Joe Clark, and Peter MacKay. I stuck around the new party for a little bit, and then decided to leave. They were far too focused on winning elections, and not enough on public policy. A great example is the price of carbon. This was originally a Conservative idea. And, in my opinion, it’s a good idea, a market-driven policy, a market-driven solution. Now that the Liberal Party has implemented it, if I was still a Conservative, I would take full credit. But they don’t, they turn around and call it a job-killer.

I feel people, and my generation in particular, are getting tired of party politics. There is a movement to just focus on good ideas.

Having the party system is something that democracies need, but, at the same time, I would like to see more free votes in the House of Commons. More discussion of policies, rather than personal attacks. I think that, when we focus on that, we can do good things.

If I become the Member of Parliament, I’m going to work with my colleagues across the floor, because my main focus is to do the right thing for our area, not just attack whoever the leader of the Conservatives is, or the leader of the NDP. That doesn’t really serve Canadians, or the citizens of Leeds and Grenville. That’s a primary focus for me.

this area to find meaningful work, to find good employment. I lived and worked in Toronto for ten years in market research. I eventually convinced my company to let me work from home.

They were spending a lot of money on a downtown Toronto office for me, and that’s a lot of real estate money.

95% of my job is me sitting in front of a computer and a phone, and a lot of my clients aren’t even in Toronto any more. Eventually, they let me work from home.

So, I brought my Toronto salary to our community. Now, imagine we could times that by 200. Imagine we could have 200 families who are coming back to this region, who grew up here and who want to raise their families here. Of course, not everyone wants to work at home, in isolation, we are social beings. I foresee a time when we have virtual offices here in Kemptville that people can work at, be close to home, close to their families, and not waste a lot of time commuting. With the technology, I think this is something we can achieve.

In my own experience, because I wasn’t wasting time in commuting to and from work, I could join the Rotary Club, I could be involved in the community, I ran the Santa Claus Parade in Brockville. And my productivity at work went up because I was happier, I worked better.

We need diversification of jobs. People working at home gives us that, and gives young people an option to stay in the area, if they so choose, rather than being forced to take a city job.

“We don't accomplish anything in this world alone... and whatever happens is the result of the whole tapestry of one's life and all the weavings of individual threads form one to another that creates something.” Sandra Day O’Connor, retired Associate Supreme Court Justice.

When I read this quote, I found it very interesting to imagine the colorful tapestry of my life to this point. There is such a sense of community here at Kemptville & District Home Support. It is a wonderful Team with Ann, Carol, Jennifer and all of the superb people volunteering here; and, all of those taking part in the programs and services. This ‘community’ also includes the local businesses and organizations; the residents of the area; as well as the various levels of government. To all of you, a heartfelt thank you, I am truly grateful for every act of kindness.

September has arrived, and there are a lot of things happening here at KDHSI. Activities are now in full swing here at the Seniors’ Centre. Please stop by to pick up a calendar, and a tour if you haven’t had the chance before. The calendar is also available on our website at www.kdhsi.com. We are still taking orders for our Vesey fundraiser, which of-

fers a variety of bulbs for spring blooms, a selection of Swarovski jewelry, as well as gifts for Christmas and other occasions. The catalogue is available at the Centre; and for those who prefer an electronic version, we can email the catalogue, just give us a call at 613-258-3203 or email susan.smith@kdhsi.com and we can send the catalogue to you.

Alzheimer’s “Words of Wisdom” learning series coming to Kemptville

by David Herman Some of you may remember that, last Spring, Mary Campbell (Education & Support Coordinator - Alzheimer Society of Lanark Leeds Grenville) hosted the First Link Dementia Learning Series. Based on feedback, and the turnout at this learning series, Mary is bringing the successful Monthly Learning Series, “Words of Wisdom”, to Kemptville, starting this month. This educational series has been running in Brockville for at least a year.

These sessions are planned for Kemptville, on the third Monday of each month, in the North Grenville Public Library from 1:30 – 3:00 p.m. The first session topic is Community Safety.

The guest speaker will be Amanda Fraser, speaking for Victims Services Leeds Grenville. She will be talking on

some available times on the calendar. Also, if you have any comments regarding anything here at KDHSI, positive or otherwise, I would appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve and change as needed. Remember, it is all of us together creating this great organization.

“In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.

For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.” ~ Khalil Gibran Until next time, Susan Susan E. Smith, Executive Director Kemptville & District Home Support (KDHSI)

topics such as: - Elder Abuse (physical, sexual, financial, and psychological), - Identity Theft, - Fraud.

Elder abuse is much in the news these days, and can take many forms. One surprising statistic is that a great deal of it, especially financial abuse, is perpetrated by family members, and some have been in a position of trust and power, in that they hold the POA (Power of Attorney) for a senior member of their family. Amanda has a varied background, and has considerable experience in the area Caring for Elders and Elder abuse.

October’s Words of Wisdom will be held October 21, from 1:30 – 3:00 p.m., again in the North Grenville Library, and the topic will be “Ambiguous Loss”.

The speaker will be Celia Carter, who has a Master of

Social Work. Celia works at the Royal Ottawa, and is part of the Geriatric Mental Health Community Team (GMHCT), which has been active in Brockville for the past 20 years.

The GMHCT is a team of psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, and social workers, who provide mental health care services to people over the age of 65. Ambiguous Loss can be described as the feeling a caregiver has when their loved one is declining and is not the same person they once were, so, in effect, they are physically there, but in some ways they are disappearing.

Pre-registration is not necessary. Just show up.

Questions can be directed to Mary at mcampbell@ alzllg.ca, or 1-866-576-8556.

KDH Auxiliary celebrates 60 years of volunteering

by Jenny Read, Communications Officer including past Auxiliary presidents.”

The KDH Auxiliary was formed in 1959, a year before KDH opened its doors in June of 1960. The Auxiliary’s mission was then ─ and still is today ─ to provide volunteer service to KDH patients, promote good public relations, and raise funds to assist the hospital in providing quality community healthcare.

The Auxiliary has a long history of success in fulfilling this mission. Notably, volunteers at KDH set a new record in 2018, donating a grand total of 14,117 hours.

This feat was achieved by 81 people volunteering onsite at KDH, 38 members of the Acton’s Corners Unit, and an additional 140 individuals who volunteered at Hey Day,

“It will be a great opportunity to learn more about our history and visit with past and present Auxiliary members and special guests,

the Auxiliary’s major annual fundraiser. To date, the Auxiliary has raised an astounding $1.43 million dollars for KDH. The money is used to purchase essential medical equipment, providing KDH’s care teams with the tools they need to do their jobs to the best of their ability.

Frank J. Vassallo, KDH’s Chief Executive Officer, expressed his congratulations to the Auxiliary on reaching this milestone. “Throughout their 60-year history, the KDH Auxiliary has been a pillar of strength for KDH and our community,” he said.

Paul A. Jansen, BA, LLB.

“It’s hard to imagine what KDH would be like without the tireless efforts of the Auxiliary over the years,” he added.

The 60th Anniversary Tea will be held in KDH’s Courtyard Lounge. Welcoming remarks will be delivered at 3:00 pm, followed by a history of the Auxiliary. Parking will be free during the event.

Childhood Cancer Awareness Month Flag Raising

Canadian Cancer Society The residents of North Grenville deserve tremendous credit for their generous support of Canadian Cancer Society fundraising events, such as Neon Night, which support childhood cancer research. The Municipality of North Grenville Council graciously proclaimed September Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and a flag raising took place on September 8 to acknowledge how important this cause is to this community.

Every year, almost 950 children under 15 are diagnosed with cancer in Canada.

At the Canadian Cancer Society, we believe that one child with cancer is one too many.

In addition to raising awareness, we are investing heavily in Canada’s best childhood cancer research and providing families with vital support programs, so they do not have to face cancer alone.

While real progress has been made, there is still more work to be done, because childhood cancer is still the

number one cause of diseaserelated death in Canadian children. And two out of three childhood cancer survivors suffer long-term side effects from their treatment. The 5-year survival rate for childhood cancer is about 83% - up from 71% in the 1980s.

With funding from our organization, researchers are actively searching for new ways to detect, diagnose and treat childhood cancers, as well as reduce long-term side effects faced by many children as a result of their

treatments.

The Canadian Cancer Society is a national community-based organization of volunteers whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer. When you want to know more about cancer, visit our website cancer.ca, or call our toll-free, bilingual Cancer Information Service at 1 888 939-3333.

Community Conversations: Creating Community Well-Being

by Susan Healy, Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit Helping the youth in the region is not just about organized activities! Building a supportive community, and collecting the thoughts of local youth, is the first step for a group of cross-sector leaders in our community. They have a vision of unlocking the potential and improving outcomes for our youth in Leeds & Grenville. Every Kid in our Communities, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, United Way Leeds & Grenville, YMCA of Eastern Ontario, local school and youth groups, have come together to work on this important initiative.

On September 26 and 27, key community influencers will come together for the first in a series of Community Conversations initiated from the report, Those Kids - Are Our Kids, released April 29 by the Friends Supporting

Youth. The emphasis of that report was on leveraging the partnership of the agencies in the community that have access to youth and the responsibility for community development around youth programming.

“The goal is to connect the youth and the leaders of Leeds & Grenville to determine their needs around Leisure and Recreation;” says David K. Thomas, one of the Members of the Friends Supporting Youth in Leeds and Grenville.

“Listening to and understanding the youth perspective on leisure will help the community develop programs and shape public policy;” added Marg Fancy, Coordinator for the Every Kid in Our Community Coalition.

The workshop will include the following: DAY 1: Jackie Oncescu, PhD, Assistant Professor from the University of New

Brunswick, will speak about The Role of Leisure in Community Wellbeing. Attendees can then participate in discussions on Perspectives of Youth & Community & Mapping Youth Leisure Systems in Community.

Day 2: Facilitated Discussions will include: Youth Leisure and Their Connection to Community - Diving Deeper - What do we do that's right? What is missing? What needs to be asked? Youth will be attending from the local Leeds & Grenville area and participating in a Photo Voice exercise to help share their thoughts.

On October 30, the second Community Conversation - Well-Being for All, will continue and collect insights from different cross-sector groups of people to collectively identify a roadmap for change and make a pledge to the positive future of our community.

More support needed for tree planting in Ontario

by Hilary Thomson Canopy Growth announced a $100,000 donation to Forests Ontario last month to aid in the organization’s tree planting initiatives. However, Ed Patchell, CEO of the FFC, says it is not enough.

The $100,000 donation will only help plant about 50,000 trees in Ontario, a small fraction of the Ontario government’s former goal of 3 million a year. According to Forests Ontario, experts have determined that a minimum 30% tree cover is needed to maintain a healthy and sustainable ecosystem. In some places in Ontario, the forest cover is as low as five per cent, which compromises the health of our ecosystems and their inhabitants. “Ontario needs about 1-2 billion trees planted to meet our needs in terms of a sustainable ecosystem,” Ed says.

The goal of the scrapped 50 Million Tree program, run

by Forests Ontario, was to plant that number of trees across Ontario by 2025.

The provincial government no longer supports any sort of target for tree planting in the province.

The federal government threw a lifeline to Forests Ontario in June, committing $15 million to the 50 Million Tree program, to plant 10 million trees over four years. Ed says that, while this was a positive

development, not every dollar from the federal investment goes to nurseries like the FFC. “All of the money does not go directly towards tree planting,” he says. “Some goes to the overhead costs of running the program.”

It is clear that Ed welcomed the $100,000 investment from Canopy Growth to support tree planting in Ontario; however, he says the one-time donation is not the solution. “What we really need is a groundswell of interest and support for tree planting,” he says. “Society has to recognize there is value for more than just the landowner.”

Ed believes the only real solution that will ensure the viability of nurseries like the FFC into the future is government investment. Unfortunately, he doesn’t see that happening with the current administration. “They are looking too short term,” he says.

The FFC is working hard to keep their heads above water. He hopes that the Ontario government will decide to invest in tree planting again in

the future, and he is taking on the responsibility, as the head of the FFC, to make sure they remain viable until the funding becomes available. “The biggest fear is, we will lose the infrastructure for tree planting in the future,” Ed says. “We want to be here for the long term, but it’s hard to invest in something that you don’t have the long-term buyer for.”

As a not for profit organization, the FFC is committed to buying and hiring locally, supporting the local economy as much as they can. They also only grow native and noninvasive species, which don’t always do well on the market. “We’re trying to do what’s right, and that’s a challenge,” Ed says.

Ed accepts that the FFC will likely see some benefit from the $100,000 donation from Canopy Growth to Forest Ontario, but he is unsure how much of an impact it will make. Forest Ontario is still trying to figure out how they are going to distribute the funds, and the reality is that it is just a small blip of support in a much larger issue.

Patti Mordasewicz, Chair of the Leeds and Grenville Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society, will be joining the Merrickville and District Historical Society meeting on Tuesday, September 24 at 7 pm at the Merrickville Legion. Patti will be sharing her information on the resources available at their archives in Brockville. In addition, she will be bringing the land books for Merrickville-Wolford with her to demonstrate the information that can be found in them, and show the ins and outs of using these invaluable records. There will also be a demonstration of the new ONLand online system, so please come and bring your questions. Everyone is welcome. Information on upcoming meetings can be found at www.merrickvillehistory.org.

by Michael Rowland Brian Rowland of Merrickville recently won a first at the NAUTIQUE CANADIAN WAKESURF NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS 2019 on Lake Chestermere, Alberta, becoming the first adaptive champion ever in the sport.

Brian, born and raised in Merrickville, is proud to call this place home. In the spring of 2015, he broke his back in a motocross accident; as a result, he is paralysed from the waist down and now uses a wheelchair to get around. During his rehabilitation, he got involved in many different sports. He learned to wakesurf and water ski on the Rideau River with the folks at SkiAbility Ottawa. Now, when he is living in Merrickville, he is often out there doing just that. This summer he was invited to the Canadian Wakesurf National Championships and came away with a gold medal.

After his accident, Brian also joined the adaptive ski program at Calabogie, learning to sit-ski. He started competing for Team Ontario in the winter of 2018 and recently joined the national “Next Gen” as a member of the Canadian ParaAlpine Team. He has been going back and forth from Ontario to Alberta and British Columbia, training hard for his alpine skiing in the mountains while spending the summer months back home. He is currently training out west, preparing himself for the upcoming alpine ski season and is planning to compete in the next Winter Paralympic Games in Beijing, China (2022).

WDMH Foundation Fundraiser welcomes Susan A. Jennings

A Chance to Reminisce – and Support Local Health Care Presenting the cheque to Cindy Peters, Manager, Direct Mail & Events are André (Joe) Belisle (left) and Francois (Frank) Marion. They are cousins and the organizers of the event

Submitted by Jane Adams, Communications Lead, WDMH Foundation “Les Retrouvailles” means “to reminisce” and for the Marion family, it’s all about connections. Each year, this generous family hosts the Marion Open at Cloverdale Links golf course. In addition to seeing one another and keeping connected, the team also raises money for a local charity. This year, 32 players, ranging in age from 18 to 81, participated.

“This was the 7th annual Marion Open and the WDMH Foundation was honoured to accept a cheque for $800 for the Digital Mammography Fund,” notes Cindy Peters, Manager of Direct Mail and Events. “And we are told they are already planning the 8th annual event next year!” Funds were raised through a silent auction at the event, thanks to the gen-

erous support of community businesses.

The event also commemorates Jean Paul St-Pierre, the former mayor of Russell Township. “It was especially fitting that Jocelyn St. Pierre, wife of the late Jean Paul, was there to present the awards for winning golfers,” adds Cindy Peters. “J.P. was a regular participant until his sudden passing in 2014.”

Jane Adams, Communications Lead, WDMH Foundation On September 15, join us for a Matinee Celebration with Ottawa author Susan Jennings and recording artist Teagan McLaren. The event takes place at 2 pm at the Winchester Old Town Hall.

The North Dundas Arts Council is hosting this afternoon celebration of music, comedy, and literary readings in support of the Foundation’s General Equipment Fund. Tickets are $25 each.

The event features recording artist Teagan McLaren, who many will remember from her performance at Fred Penner’s concert at the Old Town Hall in 2017. Everyone’s favourite actor and local comedian, Suzanne Steele, will serve as emcee. Celebrated author, Mary Cook, who was slated to give a reading in the show, was forced to cancel her appearance due to illness.

Organizers are pleased to announce that Ottawa author, Susan A. Jennings, has graciously accepted to give a reading of her own considerable literary works, in Mary’s place. Ms. Jennings will be reading from “The Blue Pendant”, her first book in “The Sackville Hotel Trilogy”, a novel based on her grandmother’s rather unique and true story of romance and adventure.

Finally, there will be guest appearances from Community Living Dundas County; and novel door prizes from Dr. Cynthia Brady, Total Home’s Cindy Lutes Pigeau and Winchester Open Mic Café. There will also be a raffle for a Dawna Marquette original piece of jewelry and a complete signed, boxed set of “The Sackville Hotel Trilogy”. A light reception sponsored by local real estate maven Antonella Holmes, will follow the show.

Tickets are available through Cindy Peters at the WDMH Foundation at 613-774-2422 ext. 6172 and at the Seaway Valley Pharmacy on Main Street, in Winchester. Doors open at 1 pm, and everyone is welcome.

Council delays application for RED grant to rehabilitate courthouse

by Hilary Thomson The North Grenville Municipal Council has decided to delay applying for a Rural Economic Development (RED) grant to refurbish the courthouse in downtown Kemptville.

The courthouse, which has significant historical significance for the town of Kemptville, was identified by staff as the most “shovelready” project in the Municipality, which is one of the criteria for obtaining a RED grant from OMAFRA. It is one of two historical buildings in North Grenville (the other being the old Township Hall in Oxford Mills) that the Municipality is looking at renovating in the next few years.

Mayor Nancy Peckford made it clear at the Committee of the Whole meeting on September 3 that she was keen on taking advantage of any funds available to renovate heritage buildings in the Municipality. “I feel that North Grenville isn’t applying, or receiving, as much money as other municipalities,” she said.

“I have a strong appetite to pursue money where it exists.”

That being said, council felt they needed a clearer picture of the costs involved in renovating the building before they went ahead with the application.

The RED program has two streams which cover 50 per cent of project costs up to $150,000, or 30 per cent of project costs to a maximum of $250,000. This means that the Municipality would have to be ready to front a

relatively large portion of the costs, should they be approved for the grant.

Because of this, council directed staff to go to the engineering firm that originally did a cost estimate for renovations to the building back in 2013 to get up to date numbers. Staff brought that information back to council at a special Committee of the Whole meeting on September 5. According to the engineering firm, it would cost approximately $383,500 to upgrade only the major components in the building. This does not include any cosmetic features. They also included an estimate to make the building barrier-free, which was upwards of $950,000.

North Grenville CAO, Brian Carré, cautioned council at the meeting against applying for the grant, if they were unsure whether funds would be there to complete the project. He also mentioned that it might be a good idea to complete a feasibility study about the potential uses for the building once it has been rehabilitated. “The dollar estimate is not an all-in figure, and there are issues that have not been identified,” he said. “My recommendation is that we would wait until the next intake of RED so we can do more research.”

Councillor Doreen O’Sullivan agreed with CAO Carré, stating that they have to seriously consider whether they want to put the dollars into the building. She stated that, if they were to go ahead with investing in the courthouse, it would make sense to make

FARMER’S MARKET SUNDAY NOON-4 PM

S BE ALE FR GINS IDA Y

it barrier-free, as it would increase the potential usages for the building. Councillor Kristin Strackerjan also agreed. “We can’t make a decision on barrier-free if we don’t know what it’s going to be used for,” she said.

“There is a sentimental and historical component, but there is also the cost to the taxpayer.”

CAO Carré was adamant that postponing the application did not mean the project was dead in the water. “[This building] has significant heritage value in the community,” he said.

Postponing the application would allow for more consultation with the community, and time to gather the information they need to make a more compelling and complete application.

Council John Barclay said he believes consultation with the North Grenville Historical Society, which rents out part of the building for the North Grenville Archives, will be key in this discussion. “We need to consider the archives,” he said. “Until another opportunity arises, they are stuck there.”

Further discussion will be had at a future meeting, but, as it stands now, staff are looking at putting together an application for the potential January intake of the RED program. CAO Carré says staff is also aware of the new Invest in Canada program, which is a larger purse of money that could help in the rehabilitation of both the courthouse and the Township Hall in Oxford Mills.

Food Basics recognized by Foodland Ontario

L-R: MPP Steve Clark, Food Basics Produce Manager Cidalia Fox, Food Basics Manager Warren Monk

by Hilary Thomson Food Basics Kemptville has been recognized by Foodland Ontario for its commitment to showcasing local produce. The produce display won the Foodland Ontario Retailer Silver Award, which was presented to Food Basics Manager, Warren Monk, and Produce Manager, Cidalia Fox, by MPP Steve Clark on behalf of Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Hon. Ernie Hardeman at Food Basics on Thursday.

“I’m proud to recognized Warren, Cidalia, and all the staff at Food Basics for their tremendous work to support the hard-working farmers in our region and across Ontario,” said MPP Clark. “The best food in the world grows in Ontario.

It’s important to celebrate grocery stores like Food Basics in Kemptville that do an outstanding job to promote these products to their customers with creative displays.”

In order to win the award, Food Basics had to enter the display contest, which runs from mid-April to November.

The judging took place in 2018, and over 4,250 entries were submitted, with almost 6,000 photos of displays featuring fresh Ontario produce. MPP Clark also presented Kudrinko’s grocery in Westport with a gold award last week. “I was very proud when the Minister called me and said we are going to send you a couple packages,” he says.

Cidalia of Food Basics says it feels great to be recognized for their hard work. “It’s exciting,” she says. “It’s nice for our hard work to be appreciated.”
