NEWS INSIDE

Briefly Fire Ban lifted The fire ban – enacted by the Townships of North Dundas and South Dundas, and by the City of Ottawa –has been lifted, effective immediately. The ban was precautionary until vegetation was growing, not related to actual weather conditions, and recent heavy rainfalls have made it unnecessary.

North Dundas Township asks the public to please continue to monitor alerts and call the number located on the bottom of your burn permit before each burn. To get a burn permit, go to the relevant township’s office.

EOWC hosts third annual meeting with Federal MPs OTTAWA – For the third consecutive year, members of the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC) welcomed their federal representatives from across the region to a breakfast meeting, May 1, on Parliament Hill, to discuss priorities and partnership opportunities that would directly benefit rural Eastern Ontario.

Mayor Robert Quaiff, 2017 Chair of the EOWC and Mayor of Prince Edward County, spoke at length on behalf of the 13 counties and single-tier municipalities in the region, about the importance of a regional approach and the need for increased collaboration between the federal government and rural municipalities. “It is our job, as leaders of our municipalities, to bring forward our most pressing issues to the upper levels of government,� Chair Quaiff told his federal counterparts on Monday morning. “The EOWC has a proven track record of working with its many partners, and specifically using research and data, to effectively explain why these should also be their priorities.�

The first priority discussed with the MPs was stable, predictable infrastructure funding for roads and bridges, which is rural Eastern Ontario’s public transit network. “The federal 2017 budget recognized the critical importance of managing and improving infrastructure in rural communities across Eastern Ontario, and the EOWC was pleased to see the federal government’s $2-billion commitment to rural and northern municipal infrastructure and how that funding will be awarded in part on the basis of need,� explained Chair Quaiff. “The EOWC has the research and the data to support the fact that we have major investment challenges when it comes to our roads and bridge networks across the region. EOWC member municipalities own – and are responsible for – 73 per cent or 69,110 kilometers of all the roads in Eastern Ontario, including the City of Ottawa. We also own 60 per cent of all the bridges,� added EOWC Vice- Chair Bill Dobson, the Warden of Continued on page 2

Judy Hilson retires after 25 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; service to Community Food Share

EOWC hosts annual meeting Continued from the front Lanark County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That equates to some 5,113 bridges and structures.

Based on the needs for roads and bridges, we should be spending an additional $500-million to $600-million a year to keep them to an acceptable standard.â&#x20AC;?

As further illustration, the EOWC noted that in rural communities, the cost of improving one kilometre of road is shared by just five residences, w hile in urban areas it is shared by 25 homes.

The second item discussed on Monday morning was the business case prepared by the Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN) on closing the many cellular network gaps across rural Eastern Ontario. This project would improve cellular and mobile broadband services for the many

residents and businesses without adequate service, while also improving the cellular network from a public-safety perspective for our first responders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The EOWC is working very closely with EORN on this project, as well as our partners in the federal and provincial governments and the private sector â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just as we all worked together in partnership when we collectively brought improved high-speed internet to rural Eastern Ontario,â&#x20AC;? stated Warden Gary J. Barton of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like with the broadband project, we hope to close these many cellular gaps on time and on budget, with the essential support and contribution of our partners â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting was a great step forward in our mutual collaboration.â&#x20AC;?

Carolyn Thompson Goddard Record Contributor WINCHESTER â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Winchester Food and Client Coordinator Judy Hilson retired on April 30 from the Community Food Share (formerly the Dundas County Food Bank) after being honoured during the Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon held at the Christian Reformed Church in Williamsburg on April 26.

Hilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s connection with the DCFB and the CFS dates to its formation in 1991 when area ministers recognizing the need for a local food bank, held an organizational meeting which she attended with her husband Ken. Her attendance at this meeting began a ministry which has spanned over 25 years providing service to those in need and she is looking forward to future service to her community.

Terry Triskle, Community Food Share Board Chair, mentioned how her â&#x20AC;&#x153;dedication and organizational skills, especially in the early days of our first outlet in Winchester, were instrumental in making the food bank possibleâ&#x20AC;?. Triskle went on to comment on the service of Judy and Ken to the organization and the example set by this couple â&#x20AC;&#x153;for the whole county of unselfish community involvement.â&#x20AC;?

Hilson mentioned the continued support shown by local churches to

the CFS and DFB over the past 25 years which have included food donations as well as financial donations from many events such as Stone Soup Sunday or Loonie Sunday.

The Community Food Share serves clients in Dundas County as well as Stormont County.

Volunteers appreciated at Dundas County Hospice WILLIAMSBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Two awards were presented to two volunteers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Karin Scheerder-Tesser and Paul Renaud â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at the Dundas County Hospice Volunteer Appreciation Day, Thurs., April 27, at the J.W. MacIntosh Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Support Centre, in Williamsburg. Volunteers have certainly raised the bar for hospice this year.

Scheerder-Tesser of Inkerman has been a volunteer since 2009 in North Dundas and does home visits and the Palliative Day Program. Renaud from Chesterville started in 2013, is a retired RCMP officer and is the Board Chair.

It goes without saying, however, that all hospice volunteers are appreciated. Clients call the volunteers their angels. No wonder, when hours logged include volunteer time, which includes cooking, daytime activities and crafts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 900 hours; 34 active visiting volunteers with 418 hours of support; and 61 hours of grief/bereavement visits; and eight new volunteers over the past year. For example, volunteer

Celeste Guse created a volunteer handbook, while volunteer Robert logged over 1,400 km as a volunteer driver and delivering equipment.

Board members have logged in for their meeting time alone at 350 hours. There is also a five-year plan in the works to improve the landscaping around the Hospice building.

The Hospice offers a 10-week, 30-hour Hospice Palliative Care Course annually. Last September, a new online training course for palliative care was started. There are three mandatory education sessions per year that volunteers must attend.

MP Guy Lauzon, also in attendance, spoke of how much he respects Hospice and how they make it easier on people to pass. He also provided some interesting figures about volunteers â&#x20AC;&#x201C;12.7 million people in Canada volunteer, adding up to 1.96 billion hours a year; 27 per cent of seniors over age 75 and 66 per cent of youth age 15-19 volunteer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bless volunteers for their contributions,â&#x20AC;? he concluded.

Saying thanks to Mom

Celebrate 70 years of conservation with SNC FINCH â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Save the Date!

On Thurs., May 11, South Nation Conservation (SNC) will be opening its doors to schools and the public for an exciting event to celebrate their 70 years of environmental conservation.

After nearly 300 participants from local schools end an EcoAdventure Day at SNC, SNCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public Open House will begin. The Open House will take place at SNCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Administration Office, 38 Victoria Street in Finch, from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

refreshments, office tours, and more. Not only will guests be able to discuss SNC programs and services with staff, they will also get to visit exhibits of local artisans and partners.

Guests can also contribute to SNCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 70th anniversary legacy project by painting a Dreamfish that will be assembled into a beautiful Stream of Dreams mural outside the SNC office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last time SNC held an Open House was in 2010, shortly after our office moved from Berwick to Finch,â&#x20AC;? says Lisa Van De Ligt, SNC Communications Specialist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At that time, we

were just unveiling our conference centre which is now a popular venue for the community to use free of charge.â&#x20AC;?

Community groups reserved SNCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conference centre over 70 times last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We look forward to sharing with the community how SNC has grown in their dedication to watershed management, environmental stewardship, and community engagement since our establishment in 1947,â&#x20AC;? says Van De Ligt.

Open house details and other 70th anniversary event information can be found on SNCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events calendar at www.nation.on.ca/events.

Letter Open letter to Ontario premier re: overpriced, needless green energy The Editor: Dear Ms. Wynne, We have written to you many times and to date have not received a reply to our actual letter content. Please read the attached and act immediately.

As you know EDP Renewables Canada Ltd., head office Av. 24 de Julho 24, 1200-480 Lisbon, Portugal, has an approved LRP1 “renewable energy” project located in our Township of North Stormont; it is the Nation Rise Wind Farm, IESO Reference Number L006351-WIN-001-100, which is expected to cost more than $430-million over 20 years. This is a foreign company coming to our country, approaching our landowners individually, secretly, and then demanding that each individual spoken to is not allowed to speak to any other community member of the details of the contract. Is this one of the same foreign companies from which your Liberal party accepted large financial donations? What allegiance/loyalty does a foreign company have to the people of Ontario?

Your government’s Green Energy Act allowed the project to be “contracted” without municipal support or resolution, without abutting landowner agreement or First Nations support, when this was your original criteria. You, yourself said in September 2015 “there is much more weighting toward the municipality...and has changed the way turbines are sited.” We are a low-wind area, an unwilling host and community members rejected this project overwhelmingly, yet IESO approved the project: Why? This project has divided families, friends, neighbours, and communities. Ms. Wynne, other Ontario communities are experiencing similar distress and frustration. Over 71 communities by 2013 had formally passed resolutions declaring towns “unwilling” (The Acoustic Ecology Institute, Oct. 8, 2013). The Corporation of the Township of North Stormont twice stated they were unwilling hosts for projects and sent a resolution to the IESO June 7, 2016 that stated “WHEREAS three of the five contracts announced on March 10th did not have municipal support for the project and therefore: 1. that the Municipal Support Resolution become a mandatory requirement in the awarding of the renewable energy projects under the LRP II Process.”

This Nation Rise Wind Farm project, like so many in Ontario, is unnecessary, is causing emotional distress, and is not well researched for long-term impact (noise, environment, water, health, debt, animal welfare, etc.).

These projects will be in effect for a minimum of 20 years, condemning the Ontario people, regardless of political affiliation, to high, unnecessary additional debt.

We understand that this project could be cancelled for $600,000, an amount offered to be paid by the residents of the community.

Internationally the world is turning against wind turbines often as a result of the negative consequences on local citizens. For example, in Ireland, German wind turbine manufacturer, Enercon conceded liability in noise nuisance in a claim pursued by seven families whose lives and livelihoods have been thoroughly and mercilessly destroyed by incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound (Stop These Things, Jan. 21, 2017). Our own Environmental Review Tribunal in the White Pines project in Prince Edward County stated “that it is in the public interest...to remove from the REA the turbines....” (April, 2017) In July 2016, Ontario cancelled Ostrander Point, Trout Creek and Clarington projects (Mothers Against Wind Turbines).

As you are well aware, Ontario has an over abundance of power; power that your government is selling at a loss to the United States while hydroproducing dams (clean green energy) are curtailed (water is spilled, and we still pay for it). In one month alone, June 2015, Ontario paid $200-million (Toronto Sun) to rid itself of excess hydro. What is a onetime payment of $600,000 compared with the cost of $430,000,000 over 20 years (240 months) or approximately $1,800,000 each month for the next 20 years for electricity which is not needed; we already have a significant surplus. Ontario cannot afford this!

CASTOR Country

By Tom Van Dusen

What fore?

Early in the morning of April 25 – well, relatively early – various engines fired up around Russell.

The men in the vehicles had a common purpose… a mad dash to the Canada-U.S. border, over the bridge at Prescott, and then on to Ocean City, Maryland.

It was a take-no-prisoners mission… it was the annual Boys’ Golf Trip to the Atlantic Ocean shore, a chance for the occupants of the vehicles to bond, to come together through the powerful unifier that is golf and the closely related occupation of beer drinking.

Unfortunately, the vehicle I was in driven by my brother Mike, organizer of this tour for more than 20 years, bogged down before we crossed over. I had misplaced my Passport in Prescott, later recovered, and we stopped to pick it up; since we were there anyway, why not go to the bank and to Timmy’s to fuel up on high octane.

I had told my travelling companions not to worry about the misplaced passport, that I’d checked with officials on both sides of the border and was told I could cross with photo ID and a birth certificate. I was as surprised as they were but I wanted to put it to the test. They didn’t.

We were finally on our way, heading south from Ogdensburg to hook up with U.S. 81 and on through Philadelphia towards Maryland where we would join with other golfers from Ottawa and as far away as St. Catharines, a total of 26. In the past, tour participants have numbered up to 60.

When a guy is slouched in the back seat of an SUV with a 12-hour drive in front of him, he has time to think, as in… why? Why do I insist on inflicting such torture upon myself? Why not just stay home, save about $1,000 U.S., and drive bamboo splinters under my fingernails for the same effect?

It’s because of the comradery, of course. That’s why I still set out on the trip to Ocean City, quietly hoping that this year will be the year my game finally comes together.

It never is. I had never picked up a club until two of my three brothers convinced me to come along on their annual pilgrimage with a ragtag band of assorted workmates, friends and family members. My brother Mark of North Russell knew better than to sign up for this torture.

“But I don’t golf,” I protested. “Do you drink beer?,” they asked in unison. I told them I did partake on occasion. They told me I’d fit right in.

On that first trip, I walked the courses and watched others play. Back in one of the clubhouses, I told a gullible American that Canadians always golfed in the cowboy boots and long rider coat I was wearing.

If I was going to return to Ocean City, I decided I should take up the game even though I saw it as nonsensical. I bought some cheap clubs and tried hard to master it over several seasons, with little success. Barring participation by toddlers, I’m still likely to be the worst golfer in any foursome.

Last week in Ocean City, an overdeveloped strip along the Atlantic with a mini putt at every corner and at least two dozen 18-hole courses, it was more of the same. Armed with those same cheap clubs, I duffed shot after shot, blew out hole after hole… and this is supposed to be fun!

Hey… maybe it’s about the clubs not about me. While I didn’t toss any of those clubs, I pounded the heads of several of them into the turf after inexplicably botching yet another shot. I didn’t petulantly throw any errant balls into the woods or water but other golfers did.

Yes, the comradery does make up for some of the anguish: Great seafood dinners, happy hour beers, live music, cheering the winning Senators over the Rangers in a room full of Americans… that’s all good.

On the return drive, I pledged once again to either give up this stupid game or to take another stab at getting better at it. After all, I now live part-time two minutes away from Prescott Golf Club, where my next embarrassing outing is set for May 21, the Golf Institute For Tomorrow charity tournament.

It’s a foursome scramble when the best ball counts on each hole. Golf-challenged Lynn and I are resigned to the fact none of our balls will count, teamed as we are with masters Heather MacKay, a Prescott realtor, and Charlie Richter, a log home builder formerly of Limoges.

But it’s all about having fun, eh!

The Road Home A fine memory Carolyn Thompson Goddard Record Contibutor Getting older has shown me the funny way in which memory sometimes works. How many times have I walked to get something in another room, only to realize I could not remember what it was I was looking for or had a derailment of my train of thought in the middle of a conversation or had to remind myself what day it was!

Interestingly, the bits and pieces of past experiences seem able to poke through into my present thoughts without any problem. I remember reading The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein to a class. Memories of the story Mom told me of how she liked to hop on tree stumps in front of the Winchester house as a child came to mind with my eyes watering as a result.

When the boys talk about living in the house on the farm in Gordonville, I remember Mom talking about playing baseball with them instead of doing housework with my only memories of the house that Daddy loved being an empty deserted building.

She would occasionally talk about the schoolhouse next door to the farm where she and Grandma Thompson taught and met their husbands. Once in a while she would mention the different teachers that followed her tenure and usually the name of Stuart Holmes would be spoken.

Mom would always tell a story or two about Stuart and his wife Joyce, while my memories of these stories are a bit foggy it is my recollection she liked this young teacher, whose wife would occasionally visit Mom on the farm while Stuart taught next door.

It wasn’t until I moved to Osgoode as a young adult and my partner needed a place to park the bus he drove for

Travelways, that I met Stuart and Joyce. A conversation with Mom regarding this problem resulted in a solution when she called Stuart, who was principal of Osgoode Public School, and arrangements were made with him for my partner to park the bus along the fence in the school yard.

Stuart is one of those people whom I didn’t see often but when we met up there was always a smile and a brief chat (yes, it is possible for me to not talk someone’s ear off!). This past weekend I received an email from my brother Doug who mentioned there were plans for a “toast and roast charity dinner for the Osgoode Care Centre” with Stuart being toasted and roasted during the event. It is planned for early June, so if you are interested in attending the dinner please contact Doug for more information.

Fill-a-Bag Food Drive DUNDAS/STORMONT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; From May 23 to June 9, food banks across Canada are coming together to participate in the Every Plate Full Campaign. The goal is to fill the empty plates of Canadians in need.

As part of this campaign, Community Food Share is once again organizing Fill-a-Bag â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a community-wide food drive in Dundas County and North Stormont Township. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re asking everyone in our community to help us stock our shelves so that none of our neighbours go hungry this summer,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Community Food Share Administrator Ian McKelvie.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year our first Fill-a-Bag Food Drive collected over 13,000 lbs of food from area residents. This year we believe we can do even better but we will need more volunteers to meet our goal.â&#x20AC;?

On Sat., May 27, between 1 and 3 p.m., teams of two to three people drop off an empty grocery bag on the front porch or in the mail box of each residence on their assigned route.

The following Sat., June 3, the volunteers return to those same homes, between 1 and 3 p.m., to pick up the donations of non-perishable food items. All donations are then delivered to several collection points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It should only take one to two hours on each day so we arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t asking volunteers to make a huge time commitment,â&#x20AC;? said McKelvie.

If you are interested in volunteering for Fill-a-Bag, or if you have any questions, contact Ian McKelvie at (613) 898-0781 or by email admin@communityfoodshare.ca.

SD&G County Library Volunteer Appreciation AVONMORE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; On April 28, the SD&G County Library celebrated the 70 plus volunteers who dedicate their time at Library branches, the administration office, and at events throughout the year. Held during National Volunteer Week, the event brought together individual volunteers, as well as the members of the various Friends of the Library groups.

Over 35 volunteers came out to the appreciation event held at the Avonmore Branch, to be recognized b y b o t h L i b r a r y s t a ff a n d t h e Library Board. Evonne Delegarde, Library Board Chair, began the evening by welcoming and thanking all the volunteers, followed by individual recognition by the Director of Library Services, Karen Franklin. Refreshments,

prizes and socializing rounded out the evening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Library is very fortunate to have a great group of volunteers to support us,â&#x20AC;? said Susan Wallwork, Communications & Marketing Librarian, in the news release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This event was our way of saying thank you for their contributions throughout the year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re grateful for all they do.â&#x20AC;?

The volunteer appreciation event provided an opportunity for volunteers, Library staff and Board members to interact and find out more about what each does for the Library. Library staff plan to make this an annual event.

Volunteer activities at the SD&G County Library are diverse and often matched to best fit the individualsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interests. From shelf

reading to assisting with programs to fundraising, Library volunteers can play a key role in helping staff provide the services they do.

Interested in volunteering at the Library? Each of the 15 branches, as well as the administration office, welcome individuals to contact them to see what opportunities are available. Whether a teen looking for volunteer hours, or someone just looking to get involved in the c o m m u n i t y, t h e S D & G C o u n t y Library is a great place to volunteer. For more information, v i s i t w w w. s d g l i b r a r y. c a / a b o u t us/jobs-volunteering, visit your local branch, or contact Susan Wa l l w o r k , C o m m u n i c a t i o n s & Marketing Librarian at (613) 9368777 ext.

Free well water testing at Eastern Ontario Health Unit CORNWALL â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With the arrival of spring, the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) is reminding the public that it provides a free well water testing service to households that get their drinking water from a residential well.

Water quality can change over time, or it can happen suddenly and you may not notice a change in look, taste or smell. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why your water should be tested for coliform bacteria and E. coli at least three times a year, especially in early spring when melting snow may cause water run-off to enter your well. You should also have it tested if you suspect a waterborne illness or notice a change in colour,

odour or taste.

Testing your well water on a regular basis is the only way to ensure the safety of your drinking water. The test results help you to address specific problems and to avoid any potential contamination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bacteria in water can lead to illness so severe that hospitalization may be required. In some cases, it can even cause death,â&#x20AC;? says Caroline Kuate, Program Manager, Water Quality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to test your private water source to ensure its safety.â&#x20AC;?

Get your well water tested today. Pick up your water sample bottle at the EOHU and drop off your sample any day except

Our goal is your continued good health.

Federal Conservative Party leadership candidate Pierre Lemieux visits Cornwall Carolyn Thompson Goddard Record Contributor CORNWALL â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Just under 40 people had the opportunity to meet Pierre Lemieux who is currently seeking the leadership of the Federal Conservative Party at a campaign stop in Cornwall at the Ramada Inn on April 25.

During the meeting, Lemieux spoke on his platform which includes lower taxes, reduced government spending, supporting pipelines which will bring Canadianproduced energy sources to Canadians â&#x20AC;&#x201C; measures he feels will improve the Canadian economy.

He expressed security concerns while stating the desire to support refugees and felt the military should be properly funded with the NATO commitment honoured in efforts to ensure world stability.

Lemieux spoke on free speech, mentioning this must be protected and expressed concern about limitations on what phrases or words can be used by Canadians.

The election of a new Federal Conservative Party leader will be held on May 27 during the convention in Toronto, Ont.

OTTAWA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rain forecast for the first week of May can be expected to cause water levels to rise significantly in the Ottawa River, according to a May 1 release from the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority.

Rainfall forecast for Monday could raise levels to what were reached last week. Additional rain forecast to fall this week can be expected to at least maintain levels and possibly cause further increases around Lac Deschene, at Petrie Island and at Boise Village, east of Cumberland.

Within the Rideau watershed, levels will increase but no flooding issues are expected at this time with the exception of Bobs and Christie Lakes which have continued to have high levels since the freshet peak on April 7.

Levels are expected to increase as a result of the rain this week.

With water levels increasing again, residents need to be aware of the associated dangers.

Children need to be kept away from ditches, streams, lakes and rivers.

Conservation Authority staff will continue to monitor conditions and will issue updates as warranted.

For water level and flow information in the Rideau system as well as the Ottawa River, visit the RVCA Streamflows and Water Levels webpage at http://his.rvca.ca/rvcafwl/.

For more information about conditions on the Ottawa River, also check the webpage of the Ottawa River Regulation Planning Board at http://ottawariver.ca/riverlevels-flows.php#riverlevels-flows-7-days .

Friendly Circle Seniors hold successful Ladies Night Out Carolyn Thompson Goddard Record Contributor LONG SAULT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It was a full house at the South Stormont Community Hall on April 28 when the Friendly Circle Seniors held their first Ladies Night Out. Nancy Chapman, a member of the organizing team, estimated 150-180 people attended the event which raised money for Community Living Stormont County and

Friendly Circle Seniors.

Chapman said there were 29 vendors at the event which featured three fashion shows, door prizes, a silent auction and a great selection of food and beverages to enjoy.

South Stormont Mayor Tammy Hart offered thanks on behalf of the Council for the community work which the Friendly Circle Seniors do throughout the year and commented it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;such a

With the sound of laughter and conversation echoing throughout the hall there was no doubt that all in attendance were in complete agreement with Hart.

Seniors group will have a bit of a rest after this event before planning begins for a future gala celebrating the 50th anniversary of this organization.

Another successful year for CAPE Carolyn Thompson Goddard Record Contributor CORNWALL â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Carol Sauve, who with husband Richard organized the Cornwall and Area Pop Event (CAPE), looked a bit tired as the event came to a close, but commented how the planning for next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CAPE would begin almost as soon as

this one ended.

The 2017 CAPE was held at the Benson Centre in Cornwall on April 22 and 23.

Sauve said that at least 5,000 people attended the event with 140 plus exhibitors ranging from role-playing game booths to special guest appearances and just about everything in-between.

UCDSB in Shine Green for Mental Health campaign BROCKVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Upper Canada District School Board will spread awareness about making mental health a priority by participating in the provincewide Shine Green for Mental Health campaign, which runs May 1-7 and marks Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mental Health Week. The campaign is an initiative of the Canadian Mental Health Association and Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mental Health Ontario. The campaign encourages staff at organizations across Ontario to light up local buildings or landmarks in green, to wear green attire during the week, or spread the word about the importance of mental health and timely care through social media messaging.

The Board is encouraging staff at its schools and administrative buildings to participate in the week through many different activities and shows of support.

Quilts

Victorian Tea to celebrate Chesterville Heritage Centre sesquicentennial Confederation by holding a Victorian Tea Carolyn Thompson Goddard Record Contributor CHESTERVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Since 1867, the small brick building located at 14 Victoria Street in Chesterville has served its community as a town hall, church, school, jail, fire station and heritage centre.

During the April 18 meeting, Chesterville & District Historical Society voted to commemorate the sesquicentennial of this important municipal building and Canadian

during the afternoon of Sat., May 20. Plans are presently being finalized but early indications suggest there will be delicious refreshments as well as an historical display that will focus on the building.

A presentation by Richard McMillian on his trips to several Canadian National Parks was enjoyed by the members, on April 18.

McMillian provided many photos of his travels which served to confirm the beauty and majesty of our country.

Continued from the front over 800 attendees this year, up from over 600 last time the event was held.

Quilts were displayed in the main hall and in the church sanctuary and visitors were requested not to touch them without clear plastic gloves, which were offered free as they entered the church.

Demonstrations in the church included bed-turning and story telling, two sessions in the morning and afternoon both days, with about a dozen quilts layered on a bed and held up for each story about them. The stories revealed the dates made from the 1800s to more current ones, one even from the 2015 International Plowing Match in Finch.

The quilts were submitted by many owners who wrote the heartwarming stories revealing their histories, such as how greatgrandmothers handed them down, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;my brother thought it was just an old blanketâ&#x20AC;? and how each square or piecing was repaired over time or had a special meaning.

An experienced quilter who still does hand quilting, Robynne Dorion demonstrated long-arm quilting for visitors in the mornings and afternoons.

This was a popular instructional session with quite an attentive audience gathered around her. Dobson had wanted to display something around Christmas quilts and the committee gave her full go-ahead for her area on the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basement stage. With a decorated Christmas tree and lights strewn around, and music too, it certainly felt like Christmas had returned.

On display were various Christmas-themed quilts and quilted dĂŠcor for all to consider for the next seasonal project.

Cornwall Motor Speedway season opens this weekend May 7 Martin Belanger Special to the Record CORNWALL — The countdown is on to the 2017 season at Cornwall Motor Speedway on Sun., May 7. As drivers and fans arrive at the speedway, they will notice that the Lavergne Family continued to improve the facility to enhance the fans’ racing experience.

More than 400 loads of clay were brought in last fall to improve the racing surface; the inclination of the backstretch was also changed to increase the security aspect when cars are falling off the surface.

A new water truck was purchased over the winter and some features were added to offer more flexibilities in watering the clay. A more recent towing vehicle was also purchased to facilitate the work of the towing crew.

The pit stands were raised by a foot and a half to enhance the visibility for fans and race teams, as well as cement blocks added in front of these stands to improve the security.

Some work was done in the women’s washroom with eight toilets changed as this was an issue that needed to be addressed.

All three towers now have new speakers in them.

This will enhance the experience for all booth occupants as they will hear the announcers better. A new speaker was also added in the pits to help race teams understand instructions coming from the pit tower.

Ontario, and the projects are cost prohibitive. Do not inflict an additional 20 years of unnecessary debt on all people of Ontario; implement an immediate moratorium on all LRP1 projects and any project which has not yet broken ground.

Ruby and Joe Mekker Concerned Citizens of North Stormont Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: In addition to the Premier of Ontario, this letter was also emailed to MPP Glenn Thibeault, MPP Grant Crack (Constituency Office), MPP Jim McDonell, and Patrick Brown (Leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario), Township of North Stormont Mayor Dennis Fife, and North Stormont Councillors Jim Wert, Randy Douglas and François Landry.

Open letter to Ontario premier Continued from page 4 You know people are experiencing financial difficulties with the high cost of hydro in Ontario (your party just lowered the cost due to the pressure). Your party added an additional tax (HST) to hydro bills and then added an eight per cent provincial rebate in January 2017, again due to pressure. You have already borrowed against our childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future to lower present hydro costs and these hydro costs will have to be repaid, regardless of our future priorities.

Ms. Wynne: the bottom line is Ontario does not need these projects, foreign companies have no allegiance to

Ravens complete comeback, down Falcons Jeff Moore Record Staff HAMMOND — The St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic High School Ravens Intermediate Boys’ basketball team travelled to Hammond to take on the St Francis Xavier Catholic High School Falcons on Wed., April 26, in the PRSSAA. The Ravens were coming off a huge 74-15 romping of the Rockland High School Wildcats the previous week and looked to extend their unbeaten streak. The Falcons came out on fire scoring 10 points and holding the Ravens to just two. The Falcons kept the pressure on in the second quarter dumping another nine points and holding the Ravens to just six.

The Falcons took a 19-8 lead into the halftime break.

The Ravens’ coach must have said something during the break as they poured in 22 points in the third quarter. The Falcons did manage 12 more points and led by one point 31-30 heading into the final quarter.

The Ravens’ defence took over holding the

Falcons to just a single point in the fourth quarter.

The Ravens only scored five points but it was enough to pick up the victory 35-32 completing the comeback.

Scoring for the Ravens were Kallum Birch with

nine points, Kay Daniel and Aidan Harps each scored five, Johnny Costanzi and Callum Tait with four each, Brock Ballantyne with a tray, Aiden Nyentap and Matt Pietrkiewicz each with deuces and Dylan Klune with a single.

The Many Faces and Places on the Canada 150 Commemorative Note OTTAWA – It’s not easy representing 150 years of Confederation on a single bank note. But the Bank of Canada’s new commemorative note does just that with a story about our history, land and culture.

This new $10 note, celebrating the 150th anniversary of Confederation, was unveiled on April 7 and will hit the streets starting June 1.

For the first time, portraits of four public figures are featured on the front of a Bank of Canada note. Sir John A. Macdonald, Sir George-Étienne Cartier, Agnes Macphail and James Gladstone are four parliamentarians who played significant roles in our history.

Since some Canadians may not be familiar with these individuals, let’s learn a bit more about them.

Sir John A. Macdonald likely doesn’t need much of

an introduction. He was Canada’s first prime minister and one of the Fathers of Confederation, under whose leadership and vision the Dominion of Canada formed, grew and expanded until it stretched from sea to sea to sea.

Sir George-Étienne Cartier, also one of the Fathers of Confederation, was a principal architect of Canadian federalism and a proponent of Confederation as a means of safeguarding French Canada and other minorities.

Agnes Macphail was a champion of equality and human rights who, in 1921, became the first woman elected to the House of Commons in Canada.

James Gladstone, or Akayna-muka (his Blackfoot name), committed himself to the betterment of Indigenous peoples in Canada and, in 1958, became Canada’s first senator of First Nations

Flood outlook FINCH – South Nation Conservation released its latest statement on May 1, cautioning residents that water levels are expected to rise this week due to heavy rainfall.

Environment and Climate Change Canada is forecasting

approximately 30-60 mm rain for this week. The forecasted weather will cause fast runoff to watercourses, which will increase river levels and flows throughout the South Nation watershed.

Severe flooding is not a concern at this time; however,

origin.

Together, these four remind us that the Canada of today was shaped by people of different backgrounds, who, through their vision, courage and effort, created a better country.

The back of the note emphasizes Canada’s natural landscapes — the rugged splendour of a land as diverse as its people. Five landscapes represent different regions of the country: the West Coast, the Prairie provinces, Central Canada, the Atlantic provinces and the North.

Beginning June 1, 40million commemorative bank notes will be distributed through Canada’s financial institutions.

The commemorative note will circulate alongside the current $10 note but will not replace it. The existing $10 note will continue to represent the majority of $10 notes in circulation for the life of the Polymer series. nuisance flooding in lowlying areas may be observed.

Furthermore, potential for blocked storm drains, catch basins and culverts are very high which may also cause localized flooding.

Residents are advised to stay away from rivers as the forecasted weather may rapidly increase river flows and banks might be unstable

Providing more than just smiles WINCHESTER – At Winchester District Memorial Hospital (WDMH), the volunteers do it all – they even help save lives.

That was one of the messages shared at the WDMH Auxiliary Luncheon, on April 27, at the Chesterville Legion.

Lynne Waytowich, Registered Medical Radiation Technologist and Clinical Instructor, was on hand to thank the volunteers for their ongoing support. “Volunteers are always helping us care for our patients by doing odd jobs that take the pressure off us which makes our jobs easier,” Lynne noted. “But they also raised $191,675.47 for the new mobile X‐ray machine. The image appears instantly on the screen right at the patient’s bedside which saves precious time when seconds count. It also allows us to see the placement of lifesaving tubes and lines within the patient; we can see if these lines are in the desired location instantly.

Caring for our patients with compassion and pursuing excellence just got a lot easier and more efficient thanks to our amazing volunteers. They are helping us to save lives!”

WDMH CEO Cholly Boland also thanked the volunteers for everything they do. “We can’t thank our volunteers often enough. Whether it’s the thousands of hours they work at WDMH or the thousands of dollars they raise for WDMH, we couldn’t operate a hospital without our volunteers. They are truly priceless!”

At the luncheon, volunteers were also recognized by both WDMH and the Hospital Auxiliaries Association of Ontario (HAAO) for milestone anniversaries. The need for more volunteers always exists.

If you are interested in volunteering at WDMH, contact Alan Archer at aarcher@wdmh.on.ca or 613-774‐2420, ext.

6323.
