Parmalat, pot top debate number oneby Matthew UhrigPress staff

SOUTH MOUNTAIN – Is it the smell of Parmalat or the familiar fragrances of marijuana that has North Dundas voters so up in arms?

Municipal election candidates found themselves in the crosshairs relating to both issues Mon., Sept. 17 during the Township of North Dundas’ first all-can-didates session at the agricultural hall in South Mountain.

Since a public meeting earlier in the year, Parmalat, one of the township’s larg-est employers, has been working toward

the implementation of measures to curtail odour from its lagoon site.

There’s two sides to the tale – those who believe the company is making in-vestments, and those who feel the changes are too late in coming and will not make a difference.

Mayoral candidate Tony Fraser, an in-cumbent councillor who has put in more than 20 years as a plant employee, didn’t tiptoe around the subject when pressed for comment from an audience member.

“Yes, I work at the plant. But I have to put up with the odour, too,” he said.

Will cannabis culture curry favour locally?by Matthew UhrigPress staff

WINCHESTER – What direction, if any, will the Township of North Dundas’ next council take when it comes to the operation of can-nabis retail shops in the municipality?

It’s the heady issue of the day as the first stage of the federal government’s legalization plan takes hold next month.

The same October day, Ontario’s Canna-bis Act becomes law, setting a legal age for purchase at 19-years-old and launching on-line sales through the Ontario Cannabis Store.

After that, retail stores will begin spring-ing up provincewide in the first-half of 2019.

This leaves North Dundas’ newly elected five-member council little time to decide what direction the township will take.

Premier Doug Ford’s government has laid out two options for Ontario’s 444 municipali-ties – opt-in or opt-out of the retail model. The deadline for response is December, leav-ing just a short window of time for a decision after North Dundas’ new council is sworn-in

earlier in the month. At the township’s Tues., Sept. 11 council

meeting, the current council, four of whom are seeking a chance to return for the next four years, were given a picture, if not a lit-tle hazy, of what cannabis’ legalization will mean.

“What we need to know first is that you cannot say ‘no’ to Internet sales,” Calvin Pol, director of planning, building and bylaw enforcement, said. “So, really, it can’t be stopped by saying no. There will be other municipalities who allow it, and you have to be 19 [to buy it] in Ontario, federally you can be as young as 18.”

Agreeing means North Dundas forgoes any chance of exiting the plan later on, while saying “no” initially doesn’t make the deci-sion final, as council could ultimately agree to plan in a year or two, or less.

“If anything, there are a lot of questions out there, and not a lot of answers yet,” Pol said. “No one really has solid answers.”

Firefighter Foley honoured for 50 years of serviceby Joseph MorinPress staff

SOUTH MOUNTAIN – The world has changed dramatically since 1968.

That was the year Pierre Trudeau succeeded Lester B. Pearson as the leader of the Liberal party. That year, the Liberals went on to form a major-ity government.

Far away from Ottawa and federal politics, Terry Foley of Mountain was signing up to be a volunteer fire-fighter for the Mountain Township Fire Department.

As a firefighter and husband to Maryann, he was acknowledged for his 50 years of service to the fire department with a special award on Friday, Sept. 14 at the North Dundas Fire Department’s awards dinner.

Foley remembers as a teenager working on the construction of the bridge in South Mountain. He also worked at the cheese factory in Hallville. After a year he went down to Iroquois to work in the Caldwell Linen Mill.

He stayed there for about two years and then landed a job with Ault

Foods. He worked there for 48 years.He remembers it was a tradition to

join the fire department as a volun-teer. His own son was a firefighter for 20 years.

He has seen a great deal of changes in the fire department over half a century. These days the depart-ment gets many more medical calls and responds to car accidents.

“One big change between now and then was the size of the trucks,” said Foley. He remembered he bought the first two air packs for his department.

The firefighters he serves with are

still the same dedicated and deter-mined volunteers who have always volunteered for the fire department.

“There are men and women now,” he said.

He has seen amalgamation change the landscape of the area fire depart-ments. “There are about 100 fire-fighters in the North Dundas Fire Department now. I think it is much better now,” he said, referring to the effects of amalgamation more than 20 years ago. Volunteer firefighter Terry

Foley was recognized for 50 years of service.

FirefighterAmalgamating rural fire

departments can be a challenge, but amalgamation worked in North Dundas with each of the four detachments – Winchester, Chesterville, Mountain and Morewood – retaining their own fire chiefs.

“I have to say we kind of pulled together,” he said.

Foley noted the department has lots of fun during its fundrais-ing efforts. He enjoys the camara-derie and does not see retirement from the fire department as an op-tion. He said as long as his health is good he will be volunteering.

Former Mountain fire chief, Scott Patterson has worked along-

side Foley for almost 20 years. “He is the glue that holds the

department together,” he said. “I admire his dedication. He always shows up for fire calls. When I was the chief I always relied on him a lot.”

Current detachment chief Ray Sherrer said Foley has held every position in the fire department. He has been a fireman, a lieutenant, deputy-chief, chief and captain.

“He has acted under six differ-ent Chiefs,” said Sherrer. “He has also seen two amalgamations.”

Sherrer said Foley had many fond memories.

“One was buying a new rescue with the help of the Lions Club

and raising $5,000 in six months to cover half the purchase.”

Another was the new firehall in Hallville and South Mountain.

Sherrer said Foley would be ready to do whatever the fire de-partment asked him to do.

“He has run our breakfast along with Maryann for the past 15 plus years. He wanted to thank Maryann for standing behind Terry for the past 50 years.

The dinner also featured ser-vice awards for several firefight-ers from the four detachments. Five-year awards were given to Jason Abromovich, Kurtis Byrd, Laura and Sam Dangerfield of Mountain. Timothy Lacasse and

Sean Whelan of Winchester and Michael Casselman, Brandon Dejong and Adam Thompson of Chesterville.

Ten-year service awards were handed out to Mark Wlotzki and Tony Wouters of Mountain. Fif-teen-year service awards were given to Ken Byers and Doug MacGregor of Morewood and Chris Helmer and Paul Pilotte of Winchester.

Twenty-year service awards went to Cameron Grozelle and Michael Patterson of Mountain, Tom Sloane and Jason Sharp of Winchester and Mike Gruich, Mark McMillian and Jason Walk-den of Chesterville.

“At the public meeting, those who were there heard that the company has made a commit-ment for change. I’m there, at the plant, they are aware of it. I’ve been back at the lagoon, and I can say efforts are being made. Money is being spent, and I can’t believe there are that many engi-neers in Ontario, but I see them. Efforts are being made, and the next council needs to help these efforts, not be a roadblock,” said Fraser.

Brad Pinch, who is challeng-ing longtime councillor Al Arm-strong for the deputy-mayor’s chair, took a decidedly different approach with this response.

“The plant has had a free ride for 20 years. The technology they are implementing will not sup-port the smell, or take it away,” he said. “There are new technologies available that will take the smell away, and they are being used worldwide. Any changes have to come from inside [the plant],

and what we need in the town-ship is a bylaw to fine them every time there is a stench. Parmalat expanded before any of these changes were made, and it is time we stand up and dictate what we want Parmalat to do to be a good community citizen.”

As for cannabis, it was a key topic for many audience mem-bers, with some variation of a question asked citing the drug’s nearing legalization.

“It’s a major concern of mine,” Gerry Boyce, North Dundas’ cur-rent deputy-mayor who is seeking the mayor’s chair, said. “We need resources, and we need informa-tion. We shouldn’t be rushing into anything, but we should be look-ing at some policy. Right now, there are too many unknowns.”

Fraser also received an oppor-tunity to respond.

“Wed., Oct. 17 [the day of le-galization] is almost here, and I am astounded by the lack of direction from the federal and provincial

governments,” he said. “We’ve been left hanging. What I can say is this – it will be legalized. A pol-icy will not be sufficient. We need to support the municipality to deal with this burden.”

There also seems to be a grow-ing desire for splash pads in the municipality, with councillor candidates Michael Trolly and Frank Fata fielding responses to the topic.

“There are two places for one – the park in Winchester, or the park in Chesterville. Both have pools nearby, and have the in-frastructure needed,” Trolly said. “We can fundraise and gain part-nerships to fund the project, with-out it being solely public dollars. There is an opportunity to come together and build one.”

Added Fata: “When going door-to-door, I’ve gotten an ear-ful about this – especially after such a hot summer. We need places across the township where people, certainly kids, can cool

down.” Other election candidates in

attendance Sept. 17 included councillor contenders Gary An-nable, Theresa Bergeron, Tyler Hoy, and John Thompson. Tim Wasylko was a no-show, and re-cently confirmed he’s dropping out of the election race due to personal reasons. His name, how-ever, will remain on the ballot.

Audience members also heard from school board trustee candi-dates Jeremy Armer and Larry Berry, both gunning for the Dun-das County seat for the Upper Canada District School Board, and Donna Nielsen, who is chal-lenging the incumbent, Karen McAllister, for the Catholic Dis-trict School Board of Eastern On-tario’s county seat.

Voters will have another chance to hear from the candi-dates Mon., Sept. 24 at the legion in Chesterville, and Mon., Oct. 1 at the Joel Steele Communtiy Centre in Winchester.

CorrectionIt would appear those in the Win-chester Press’ newsroom shouldn’t wade into fish tales. In last week’s edition, there was some informa-tion missing in the Renegade Bass Tournament coverage. The winners, Adam Howell and Kyle Healey, ac-tually had a two-day combined score of 49.57 pounds, versus what was re-ported. As well, the prize was much more than the $7,000 stated, totalling nearly $90,000 and the awarding of a Bass Cat boat. Also, the second place finishers listed were incorrect, as it was Nolan and Mike Leger who actually finished in that position. The Press regrets the inaccuracies.

Cannabis

Mayor Eric Duncan, who sat in on an Association of Municipalities of Ontario session related to the topic last year, was equally perplexed by the lack of direction from upper-levels of government.

“It’s a chicken or egg scenario for North Dundas now… For all municipalities, re-ally,” he said. “The fear of the unknown, or tax revenue versus implementation ex-penses.”

The Eastern Ontario Health Unit, which will host a cannabis legalization information session Tues., Oct. 9 at North Dundas Dis-trict High School, has indicated the agency would like to take the lead on licensing and regulatory inspections, Pol noted.

“But what about zoning for the retail? Or edibles, which we’re told are another year out. This could lead to more calls for emergency services, since edibles take longer to take effect so people take more thinking they need more to experience it. This is when overdoses happen,” he said.

POLICE BLOTTERby Tom Schoch

Press staff

LONG SAULT – It was standing room only as resi-dents packed the South Stormont Town Hall Tues., Sept. 11 to voice their con-cerns about the low water levels on Lake St. Lawrence to the International Joint Commission (IJC) and mem-bers of the International Lake Ontario - St. Lawrence River Board in a tense and some-times contentious meeting.

Local political leaders were also in attendance, in-cluding South Dundas Mayor Evonne Delegarde, South Stormont Deputy-Mayor Tammy Hart, SD&SG MP Guy Lauzon, and a hand-ful of municipal candidates. Various conservation author-ities, business groups, special interest groups and tourism organizations also had repre-sentatives as the issues have affected almost everyone in the region.

The meeting was orga-nized and chaired by Ault Is-land resident Cliff Steinberg who has experience dealing with the International St. Lawrence River Board of Control and the IJC through-out the last 15 years.

The two main objectives of the meeting were for resi-dents to learn how the com-plex control system works, resulting in the fluctuating water levels and for the IJC to hear how the low levels are affecting people in the area.

Jamie Dickhout, alter-nate Canadian regulations representative for the Inter-national St. Lawrence River Board of Control, then gave a presentation on how the system works with outflows and inflows. The numerous graphs, complex figures and language along with Dick-hout’s soft voice left many residents confused and with more questions than answers.

The IJC adheres to a se-ries of regulations to man-age outflow referred to as Plan 2014, which was imple-mented last year to replace Plan 1958D after extensive public participation accord-ing to a December 2016 IJC press release.

How much consultation there actually was came under fire by Frank Hum-mell, president of the Mouli-nette Island Residents’ Asso-ciation.

Hummell noted that only two meetings took place in 2012 and an additional six meetings held in 2013.

“The people living along

Lake St. Lawrence on the Ca-nadian side who did not want to drive a considerable dis-tance to another public meet-ing only had one opportunity in what is referred to as ‘ex-tensive public participation.’ That meeting was held in Cornwall on July 19, 2013, that is Friday, July 19, from 1 until 3 pm in the afternoon at the Ramada Inn,” he said.

Hummell went on to ask if there was a real public con-sultation and review process in place and if not, that he re-spectfully requests one be put in place.

Several IJC board mem-bers pointed out that while Plan 2014 isn’t perfect, they are interested in public feed-back and are willing to listen.

Dickhout also noted that low water levels have been experienced previously on Lake St. Lawrence in 1987 and 1998. Plan 2014 also allows for minor deviations to address short-term needs and special circumstance and major deviations under extreme weather conditions, which Dickhout offered as an olive branch of sorts.

“Given the continued low levels, the board plans to conduct a minor deviation and will temporarily decrease the outflow from Fri., Oct. 5 to Sun., Oct. 7 to raise water levels on Lake St. Lawrence and to provide a one time opportunity to assist mari-nas, yacht clubs, recreational boaters and residents in the area to remove their water crafts and other equipment,” she said.

However, this presents a series of problems.

Providing such a short window for marinas to re-move all of their boats is wildly unrealistic. The tim-ing of the higher water level also happens to fall on Thanksgiving weekend,

which leaves people forced to choose between spending the holiday with family or pulling equipment out of the lake.

In addition, the water that is held back will then have to be pushed back through the outflow, leaving Lake St. Lawrence dry once again.

This does nothing to ad-dress the environmental damage that has been done to wetlands, fish stock and environmentally sensitive areas.

John Slater, representing the Cornwall Anglers, asked a poignant question.

“Hoople Bay was des-ignated by the Ministry of Natural Resources as an en-vironmentally sensitive area. In fact, it is a fish sanctuary. I went out there the night be-fore and it’s dry land. How can you have a fish sanctuary with dry land?” he said.

Tourism has also been negatively impacted which is a major economic driver for both South Dundas and South Stormont. Campers, beach-goers, major fish-ing derbies and other tourist events reliant on reasonable water levels have struggled this year.

Brent Sommerville from the St. Lawrence Parks Com-mission painted a stark pic-ture.

“I’ve never seen the water levels this low. We put out a buoy line just prior to Saint-Jean-Baptiste weekend. By July first, that buoy line was sitting on dry land. It’s affect-ing businesses for all of our communities. We’re the big-gest tourist provider in East-ern Ontario and it’s definitely

affecting us. It’s affecting the life in the sanctuary, the wet-lands are drying up,” he said. “Boat docks are non-existent. We sell passes for people to use our boat facilities and they can’t even use them. Something has to be done.”

Jeff Gillard a lifelong resident who runs Carpins Bait and Tackle shop, wanted to know why Lake St. Law-rence seems to be the only place where the water levels are so low.

“Lake Saint Francis, what are they doing different that we can’t do here? The water never fluctuates that much there. I don’t care about Lake Saint Louis. They can do something down there. Lake Saint Francis is between two dams the same as us up here,” he said.

As the questions contin-ued to inundate the board members, few answers were forthcoming. Many of the questions required complex answers that weren’t ideal for a town hall type setting, but as the questions continued to pile up, frustration began to mount.

Rob Caldwell from Envi-ronment and Climate Change Canada and manager for Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Regulation Office, attempted to field a few questions, but the room was quickly de-volving into disorder with people simply shouting their questions.

“What we’re talking about with Lake St. Lawrence is purveyor reservoir of major international hydro power plant called the Moses-Saun-ders dam. You all knew that when you bought your prop-

erties,” he said. At this point the room ex-

ploded in groans and was on the verge of becoming a mob scene.

“Let’s be clear here. You all knew that when you bought your properties. So you didn’t know that? How many people didn’t know that when you bought your properties?” said Caldwell.

Many people exclaimed they didn’t like being “talked down to” or that Plan 2014 didn’t exist when they bought their properties.

The hostility did eventu-ally subside as people slowly began to trickle out of the meeting realizing that no im-mediate solutions or answers were going to be offered.

Caldwell did offer a more inclusive approach as the meeting started to wind down.

“We have seen these con-ditions before. This is a re-cord low for this time of year, I will grant you that, but we have seen very low condi-tions in Lake St. Lawrence before under the old regula-tion regime. We have seen flooding before on Lake St. Lawrence under the old regu-lation regime. Are we going to see it in the future? Abso-lutely, because the only spot where we have control is the Moses-Saunders. We have no control over what is coming into the system. We certainly want to hear everyone’s con-cerns, but moreover we want to continue this discussion about the fact that we need to work, as a community, as a team to build resiliency and to adapt to the best ex-tent possible so when we get extreme water levels as we have today, we can get by.”

A meeting of the board of the International Lake On-tario St. Lawrence River was scheduled to take place this week and the feedback pro-vided will be taken into con-sideration moving forward.

For the time being, those looking for immediate an-swers or water relief were left high and dry.

4 The Winchester Press Wednesday, September 19, 2018 COMMUNITY

WINCHESTER – Mon., Oct. 22 is municipal election day throughout Ontario, but a week before that age of majority provincial resi-dents will be able to access the legal sale of marijuana online.

Once the new five member council mem-ber is sworn in before year’s end, the first task will be whether or not the Township of North Dundas welcomes the operation of re-tail pot shops in its villages downtown cores.

So, where do the candidates stand on this issue? The Winchester Press reached out to all seeking office. Comments have been ed-ited for grammar, length, and clarity.

Only John Thompson and Tylor Hoy, both councillor candidates, didn’t respond by press time.

Tony Fraser, mayoral candidate: “As it currently stands, retail sales of cannabis will soon be legally allowed in Ontario. The pro-vincial government has committed to put in place a system that will provide consumers with a way to purchase cannabis that is safe, legal, and controlled by legislation. Consum-ers will no longer be forced to purchase can-nabis from the black market, and be a partner to supporting criminal activity. In 2010, I ran for a council seat and during that campaign and throughout my two terms I have been supportive of business, business people and entrepreneurs. Retail sales of cannabis will soon be legal. The sale and consumption of cannabis in North Dundas may not be desir-able to some residents, but it will be a legal activity that will be regulated by legislation and bylaws from many levels of government. I firmly believe that restrictions on the ad-vertising and promotion of cannabis needs to be in place before legal retail outlets are in place.”

Gerry Boyce, mayoral candidate: “My opinion is we wait and hear more during the Tues., Oct. 9 presentation from the Eastern Ontario Health Unit at North Dundas District High School. The new council should then go to the public to get the feeling of what is wanted. We need more information to go on.”

Al Armstrong, deputy-mayor candi-date: “The initial answer is, I believe we need to tread slowly on any decision as far as retail operations. Municipalities have an opportunity to take a ‘wait and see’ moment by not opting-in immediately, and we can still opt-in at a later date. There are too many unanswered questions, including those sur-rounding policing and bylaw restrictions, to make a sound decision at this point. There is no need to be impatient in this decision.”

Brad Pinch, deputy-mayor candidate: “This is a community issue, and as such, it should be handled by getting direction from the community. I would propose we set up a community committee made up of po-lice, bylaw, health unit, and citizens for and

against, to bring a recommendation back to council. However, this committee will not just need to deal with the question of ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to retail, we need to have the right by-laws, zoning, and policies to address protect-ing our families, landlords and citizens. So, in fairness to our community, we cannot make the current council’s lack of planning our emergency. It is only with sober thought and a non-rushed process can we avoid making a series of bad choices that we may pay for later. I am neither for nor against retail can-nabis in North Dundas, and I don’t know if the new cannabis plant will want to have a retail presence or not. I strongly feel this is a community issue, that is where the answers need to come from.”

Gary Annable, councillor candidate: “With the number of unaddressed issues yet, I think we would be hasty in allowing sales in North Dundas right away. Once it’s passed, there is no going back. We should wait until the federal government has addressed all these loose ends. I will be clear – I do not want a shop in North Dundas. But, also, there is still too many unanswered questions at the federal level.”

Theresa Bergeron, councillor candi-date: “It’s up to the people of North Dundas to decide if they want retail outlets in the mu-nicipality. There will be retail outlets around us, and people will shop there. The more se-rious issue is how will employers deal with employees who smoke on their way to work or just prior as it will affect their productivity, and can be a hazard, especially on construc-tion sites. Smoking at the workplace - how will this be monitored? And then there is the problem of driving ‘under the influence.’”

Frank Fata, councillor candidate: “The legal sale of cannabis will reach well beyond the borders of North Dundas. The real issue is not about where cannabis will be sold, but how cannabis will be regulated at the mu-nicipal level. Enforcement of regulations, including where and when cannabis can be consumed or inhaled, will need to be over-seen by the municipality. The municipality will need to actively advocate for resource support whether monetary and or human. Ad-vocacy will involve engaging the input from North Dundas residents – it is important that every resident has a voice.”

Michael Trolly, councillor candidate: “I don’t necessarily oppose having retail cannabis in North Dundas in the long-term, provided that this is what voters want. But I don’t believe we have enough information to say ‘yes’ on day one. We would need to look at other possible restrictions (it was sug-gested that municipalities could set the mini-mum distance from schools, for example), and learn something about best practices from other municipalities.”

Some candidates have pointed out the incumbent, Darouze, won only 21 per cent of the vote in 2014. That means 80 per cent of voters did not vote for him, and councillor hopefuls are look-ing to take advantage of his supposed vulnerability.

The format of the meeting featured candidates asking one another questions about their platform, as well as questions from the audience.

For the most part, Darouze had to defend his decision to vote “yes” to the stormwater tax, explain why he has not managed to get more police in the area, and what was he

doing about infrastructure projects in the ward?

Several candidates called his loyalty to Osgoode, into question.

Each challenge was coun-tered with facts from Da-rouze’s first term in office.

He explained that voting for the stormwater tax al-lowed him to negotiate a bet-ter deal for rural residents, in-cluding calling the tax a fee, which means all money col-lected will go back into what it was collected for.

“We were going to have a challenge if we could not make a deal,” Darouze said. “You cannot win every fight. You have to work to get along or get nothing,” he said.

All of the candidates agreed that the stormwater tax was not fair to rural residents, but Darouze reminded them that as a councillor you have to work with what you have.

Gail Burgess, a Metcalfe resident, said the current councillor is doing what he is supposed to be doing.

“He has a lot of energy. He listens to what people are ask-

ing for,” she said just before the meeting got underway.

“The stormwater thing was a big issue. He fought it tooth and nail.”

Many rural residents feel that urban ones, who do not appreciate a rural perspective, outnumber rural councillors.

“But he has minimized what we have to pay at least,” Burgess said.

All candidates agreed that establishing healthy working relationships with fellow Ot-tawa councillors would be the key to protecting rural sensibilities.

Questions from the audi-ence included ones about the availability of ambulances in the area.

Candidate Kim Shel-drick explained the problem was not about the number of ambulances operating in the area, but the downtime paramedics have to deal with when they drop off a patient to a hospital.

According to Sheldrick, the paramedics cannot put themselves back into service until the hospital they are

at take the patient off their hands.

Darouze added, that in 2014 it was obvious there were not enough paramed-ics in the city. Fourteen more paramedics were added the next year. He said their re-sponse time has gradually gotten better.

Another question from the audience was: Will you rep-resent Osgoode at city coun-cil or will you represent the city in Osgoode?

Sheldrick replied, “This is my home. This is me, rep-resenting my family. It is the people here who come first.”

Candidate Mark Scharfe reminded the audience of his long family history in the area and cautioned voters on voting for someone who did not have a rural perspective.

Jay Tysick, also challeng-ing for the councillor’s seat, responded with, “I will fight to get the best that we can get.”

Darouze said he would continue to negotiate, add-ing, “I did not take the easy way,” referring to his deci-

sion to work with Ottawa council to make a deal over the stormwater tax instead of just voting against it.

Candidate Auguste Ban-faslvi simply asked the audi-ence at the meeting if they were happy with what they saw going on in Ottawa.

Tysick said whoever is elected will have to keep an eye on increasing taxes, es-pecially for rural residents.

On the subject of traffic calming, Scharfe said there were too many red light cam-eras in the Ward, to which

Darouze pointed out that technically there were none. The camera Scharfe was re-ferring to is just outside the boundary for Ottawa and is not in Osgoode.

Tysick brought up hydro charges for the area, but Da-rouze suggested it was deliv-ery charges that were caus-ing residents grief. Sheldrick said the hydro issue was a provincial one and should be addressed by the province.

Osgoode Ward’s candi-dates were set to debate again Tues., Sept. 18 in Metcalfe.

CHESTERVILLE – It’s been 30 years since a soybean roaster was installed, and put Derks Elevator on the map as a premiere processor throughout Eastern Ontario.

“It’s a lifetime of pleasure to get to this point. I never even dreamed it’d get this big. When I started, I couldn’t imagine, but we just kept on growing. The ability to expand is what you want to do – it was just there. [The roaster] certainly helped me through the [recession] of the 1980s when a lot of other farmers were struggling, we had it going full blast,” Gary Derks said.

It was Gary’s father who pur-chased the original family farm in 1955, owning 270 acres as a dairy operation. Gary came aboard full-time in 1965, and son took over from father in 1978, officially making the switch to a cash crop-ping corn. Succession planning is taking place again today, with son Marty joining the farm full-time in 2008 and looking to continue it on into the future. There was a setback

in 2014 when fire destroyed the entirety of the roasting operation, but there was life after the ashes.

“This is something I’ve always wanted to do, and it’s pretty excit-ing to be given the opportunity,” Marty, who has two boys of his own with wife Stacy, said. “The whole point of this is hoping to hand it off again one day.”

As for Gary, who’s been on the farm more than 50 years now, it’s a lasting legacy: “It’s every man’s dream… Every father dreams of having their children take over. They can say they don’t, but they do.”

WINCHESTER – Annette Angus and her husband, Jim, celebrated Angus’ 50 years of working in the educational field on Sun., Sept. 16.

The two are the owners of Terrace Green Bed and Breakfast in Winchester, and they had food, and music courtesy of Marleen Fawcett, as well as a relaxing after-noon of stories and memories about Angus’ years of teach-ing and tutoring in the area.

One visitor to the celebra-tion was Brenda Norman a friend of the teacher.

“She helps people be-long,” said Norman. “She is a great mentor.”

Norman told the story of Angus volunteering to cover the detention class at school in order to help those stu-dents who were having a dif-ficult time.

Angus, who grew up in Brinston, began her teaching career at Winchester Public School with Grade 4 students. She taught in Winchester for the next 7 years before mov-ing on to Kingston. She took a break from teaching full-time, but continued to tutor students in mathematics, lan-guages, and phonics.

In 1989, she was work-ing at General Vanier in Cornwall, and then she spent two years teaching at Nation-view Public School, where she would find the more dif-ficult-to-teach children in her class. In 2009, she moved on to teaching at Seaway Dis-trict High School in Iroquois

before retiring.Angus always liked taking

on the challenge of teaching a difficult to teach child how to learn.

“I have always been a stu-dent advocate,” she said.

She loved teaching the students who did not always do well and would want to help students when the edu-cational system did not fit the individual students.

Angus believes that many students who did not always

fit in still would become suc-cessful people. For example, her husband Jim Angus, Bill Gates and Ed and Don Dun-can.

The afternoon celebration featured stories about how Angus had helped others in their educational journey.

One story from her niece, Carrie Hall, who spoke of Angus’ ability to help others take on the challenge of suc-ceeding in school.

“It’s incredible to think

of the number of people that have been helped by Annette and I myself owe a great deal of my success to the efforts that my aunt afforded me,” she said in a letter read to those at the celebration.

When she was going into Grade 2, at the age of seven, Hall was having a difficult time. Angus stepped in and helped her out. Hall remem-bers, “By the fall, when I started Grade 3, I was at grade level or above in every area that I had been previ-ously struggling in. I fondly remember the yellow stop sign taped to my desk that told me to stop, think and plan my actions. That was al-most 30 years ago.”

Since then, Hall gradu-ated from high school with honours, attained a degree in applied social research from Carleton University and has been a successful civil ser-vant for the past 13 years.

“I attribute a great deal of my educational and career success to Annette for help-ing me understand how I learn and teaching me how to study effectively,” said Hall.

Hall said she still uses the creative techniques she learned from Angus as a child to help her own children.

“I am sure my aunt knows that she has had a significant impact on numerous people’s lives,” said Hall. “I want to be sure everyone knows that she does not just help people. She changes lives. I unequivo-cally believe that I would not be where I am today without the help and guidance she gave me as a child.”

Community nets $14,000 during Terry Fox RunMAPLE RIDGE – Sixty-five community members joined forces Sun., Sept. 16 in an effort to raise funds for the Terry Fox Foundation.

Those who turned up braved a late summer heat wave to take part in the Township of North Dundas’ annual event in honour of the Canadian icon.

In total, the collective effort helped to generate $14,332, a sizeable in-crease from last year. The inaugural local run was held in 1982, and in 37 years, more than $250,000 has been raised.

The Chesterville Ro-tary Club, longtime over-seers of the event, re-ceived the Terry Fox Run Milestone Award for its efforts. Ten club members

were present to help co-ordinate Sept. 16’s event.

While all money brought in is crucial, Ro-tary member Betty Van-den Bosch noted some of the top fundraisers. Chuck Gray made a personal do-nation of $2,000 and was the top participant in this year’s run. The Mulder family reeled in $950, and Dixon family members, some taking part since the event’s beginning, raised $4,402. As well, Eva Gen-tle collected $2,412 this year, her eighth year tak-ing part in the run.

“In coming together, our participants and the many people who make donations to them are keeping Terry Fox’s dream alive,” Vanden Bosch said. “Rotary salutes all of the volunteers.”

Derks’ roaster hits the Big 30

1928The village was abuzz this week with rumours of the Win-chester Hotel’s pending sale. However, the Press reported, “up to the present, nothing definite is known.”

1938Keen competition was featured in the High School Field Day, which was held on the local agricultural grounds this week, and attended by a large crowd of spectators. David Melvin was the outstanding athlete of the meet, winning 25 points to give him the tile of senior boys’ champion. He would lead to school’s representatives at the Meikle Cup competition. In the junior events, Gerald McKendry led with 22 points, while Leigh Summers and Max Boyd were awarded in-termediate and midget championships with 22 and 15 points, respec-tively. Evelyn Holmes was the intermediate girls winner, and Alta Kennedy led the juniors. The midget crown went to Jean Stewart.

1948The Winchester District Memorial Hospital board hoped Mountain Town-ship council would agree with its taxpayers and donate $20,000 to the hospital. Sixty per cent of Mountain tax-payers were in favour of the donation, which would be payable by debentures over a 20-year period. Council had the final decision, but theWDMH board was hoping for the grant because the hospi-tal was in need of funds.

1958The outbreak of rabies in Dundas County was still serious with two rabid fox being reported over one weekend. Wil-liamsburg resident Harry Bowman was attacked by one

fox while working on his farm. Bowman reported that his dog attacked the fox, allowing him to grab a club to “take care” of the rabid animal.

1968Patricia Clark, a Mountain District High School gradu-ate, won the Queen’s University 125th anniversary schol-arship. During her high school career, Clark had been awarded several other scholarships from area donors.

1978The Canadian Pacific Railway station in Chesterville was demolished and replaced with a metal tool shed. The sta-tion’s downfall began in the 1960s after Canadian Pacific decided it was “economically unfeasible” to offer pas-senger service through Chesterville. Prior to being de-molished, the station had been used for various services throughout the years.

1988A live Wintario draw was held at the Win-chester Com-munity Centre as part of the village’s 100th a n n i v e r s a r y . Along with the purchase of the Wintario tick-ets, residents received admis-sion to the live broadcast.

1998Students at Elma Public School found a surprise in the yard when they went back to school. Princi-pal Peter Mac-Gregor was ex-cited to unveil the new play structure that cost $35,000. It was paid for by donations from area residents, busi-nesses, and service groups, as well as various fundrais-ing campaigns. Playground Express Inc. installed the structure prior to school starting.

2008The Winchester Hawks invited a pair of Ottawa Sena-tors to help the team mark the opening of the 2008-2009 Rideau-St. Lawrence Junior “B” Hockey League campaign. Former Hawks defenceman Matt Carkner, a Morewood native, was on hand for an autograph ses-sion, while Long Sault’s Jesse Winchester, who suited up for the Hawks as a forward, took part in the ceremo-nial faceoff.

The pot paradigmCan you name the last time Canadian culture was headed for such a monumental shift in focus?

Not since the railroad gave way to the automobile, or citizens fl ed urban life for the calm of the country only to return to the city once again, has there been such a wide divide on a subject.

Of course, the end of prohibition is the most equitable comparison to be made these days as those from coast-to-coast prep for the legal sale and use of marijuana.

Yes, a vote in Parliament earlier this year helped to mark off the end of days on the outlawing of recreational cannabis use in this country.

Now, we’re less than a month from the law coming into effect – the same day marijuana sales will go online in the province through the Ontario Cannabis Store.

This is a touchstone moment, as Canada will become just the second country to approve the nationwide legalization of marijuana, following Uruguay.

Second to that, it’s a signifi cant experiment in social policy that will no doubt have a global audience.

The whole idea seems like some sort of dream – but there will be clarity from the fog.

Suspense hangs above all of this, however.

There will be an atmosphere of legal pot that will be odd, with neighbours heading to work at the expected grow plant in Chesterville, complete with a hazmat suit; people smoking where it was once banned; and retail establishments selling fi stfuls of the latest variety.

How the culture adapts will also be interesting to view. What will be the reaction from users? Ending the black market sale of weed and keeping the drug away from children is key pillars of the Trudeau government’s plan. It remains unclear if either of those things is possible.

What, too, for municipalities? While the feds are moving in there own direction, provincial governments are also working their way through the legalization process. It is these

two levels of government that the Township of North Dundas is expecting direction from. To this end, it hasn’t come.

We’re headed for a municipal election this fall, and candidates are looking to build their platforms on the wants of constituents – yes or no on pot is chief among them. The township will also be given a chance to opt-in or opt-out on the allowance of retail shops in its villages downtown cores. Legalization is a certainty, no matter the decision, and should the answer be no, residents will surely seek out municipalities where stores are located. And nothing can be done to stop online sales.

With the right procedures in place, and bylaws where necessary, there should be no reason for our next elected offi cials to say no.

Society is changing, and in a great number of cases, it’s for the better. Marijuana’s allowance, too, is a great change, and it is one that must not be taken lightly.

It’s no time for our local government to stand in the way.

-M.U.

Remember when...

You could smell the maple cookies as soon as you opened the door into Briscoe’s General Store.

Like all the other cookies Mr. Briscoe sold, they were stored in tilted boxes in a row right down the centre of the store, but the cookies shaped like maple leafs were in the first box. Others were wafer thin, some were just round like biscuits, and some were chocolate with white icing. But I could never smell any of the other cook-ies – only the maples.

I used to think it was good planning on Mr. Briscoe’s part to put the maple cookies near the front door. The wonderful smell helped deaden the reeking stench of coal oil in containers at the back of the store, right beside the little barrel of molasses.

There were no covers on the cookie boxes, but when the height of the summer assured you of a good crop of houseflies, in an attempt to keep them away from the cookies, long pieces of wrapping paper were laid over the entire row of cookie

boxes. But when you lifted the paper, there were always flies underneath, which didn’t seem to affect the sales one bit.

I didn’t have much use for the thin wafers, although they were Fa-ther’s favourite. When a meal was over, he liked to pick up a wafer and soften it in his tea. Mother thought it was a disgusting habit, but it was just one more thing she had to get used to when she moved to the farm at Northcote. Of course, the maple cookies and the wa-fers were luxuries we didn’t often enjoy.

Father usually had to go to the store in the middle of the day. He might need nails, oil, or gas, and if that happened when I wasn’t at the Northcote School, I was always allowed to go with him, which was a special thrill for me. Any time I could spend alone with Father gave me great joy. He wasn’t a talker, but he had plenty of fa-

cial expressions and hand motions I could read like a book.

Another reason I liked to go to the store with Father is that he always bought a few cookies for me. Of course, he never had any money in his pocket, so he would just tell Mr. Briscoe to put them on our bill. Mother, at the end of the month, after selling her wares in Renfrew,

would go into the store at Northcote and settle up with Mr. Briscoe. Neither Mother nor Father ever laid out cash when they bought supplies, which I used to think was just like getting something for nothing.

So Father would first do his business with Mr. Briscoe, and then he would go over to the counter and take a small paper bag that was neatly piled in order of size with all the other bags. He always opened it with is thumb, and then

put the bag to his lips and gave it a hefty blow. It would open up all the way imme-diately. He would nod in my direction, and we would head over to the row of cookie boxes.

He knew without asking what kind of cookie I would like, and with his hand that before had come in contact with the cows, the horses, the barn equipment, and the buggy, he would reach into each tilted box of the ones we wanted, and bring out a full fist of cookies!

I knew Mother would wonder, if she were there, why Mr. Briscoe would bother covering the cookies with paper in the first place, when any farmer, without benefit of a good hand wash, would saunter over to the boxes and grab a couple handfuls of their favourite, serving themselves.

But we must have been a healthy lot, because never, all the time Father helped himself to the maple leaf and wafer cook-ies, did I ever hear of a soul in Northcote dying from dirty cookie disease.

Letters to the EditorThe stench from Parmalat cannot go on

Money versus fun

The Editor:In last week’s Winchester Press, I read with a sense of validation, the letter from Brad Pinch.

What relief to have the proverbial elephant in the room discussed openly and frankly, especially by a candi-date in the upcoming election. Earlier in the week, I felt those oh so now familiar knots in my stomach at the anticipation of more disgust-ing smells as I prepared to host the women of my book club. My only hope was that the cooler weather would continue, and therefore save me so I could close up my windows. Failing that I would have to cancel my turn – again.

I have tried to remain hopeful and refrained from comments on forums such as that of social media, not wanting to be viewed as a rabble-rouser or more aptly, a “sludge disturber.”

My visits to seniors’ homes to read to the resi-dents from my recently pub-lished book about my grand-

mother’s life has brought me such joy as I watch their reactions, and listen to their stories of a time that is no more. That is all I could wish for – not to be some-one known for continuing to poke the bear.

However, I am afraid it has reached a breaking point. After another stench-filled week, we were awakened one night recently at 11:30 pm by the most repugnant human feces mixed with chemicals-like smell. For the first time, I was physically sick to my stomach and now have a mi-graine headache.

How very heartbreaking to work hard, pay off a mort-gage and then have such little quality of life in one’s home.

The fancy explanations from Parmalat in the form of weekly updates in the local paper only serves to further antagonize. The term “odour” is so polite, and ne-gates the intensity of the vile stench. How can the ongoing inhalation of a smell not un-like human feces mixed with chemicals, that awakens us

from our sleep, not be un-healthy?

Now we are told by the end of September... They are pleased to announce that “Parmalat has also reached another important milestone last week with 70 per cent completion of accumulated sludge removal from the ponds.”

If so, then why is this stomach-turning putrid reek worse than ever? How bold to pat themselves on the backs for their too little, too late attempts to appease, when they have caused this and did not properly plan for it before increasing produc-tion in the first place.

One only needs to read Facebook’s “What’s Up Win-chester?” group to feel the mounting exasperation.

The rep from the provin-cial environment ministry says that “these things are not quick, simple, or easy!” I no longer understand who has the residents’ backs nor who is in charge of what. Marnie FossittWinchester

The Editor: I am sure everyone remem-bers the fiasco of the To-ronto Pig Save group find-ing a past video of the South Mountain Fair’s greasy pig contest on social media, and being able to shut it down with a snap of their fingers two years ago.

As a former president of the Mountain Township Agricultural Society and a longtime member, we had no choice but to call an urgent emergency board meeting during the fair, only to find out that the board had voted to shut down the greasy pig event that ran for 13 years be-cause it could jeopardize the huge amount of grant money coming from the government – a mere $47,000.

As I wrote this letter, I shook my head after find-ing out that the fair is in its second year of the mutton bustin’ event. Kids from ages four to seven get on a sheep and ride it until they fall off, and the one who stays on the longest wins the title.

What a great idea! Some-thing new to a country fair, and I always liked trying new things.

For the people that don’t know what the greasy pig event was, a refresher. Kids in different age brackets (two to 11) get in a ring with their greasy paws and chase a piglet, which weighs 20 to 30 pounds, around a pen trying to catch one and then putting any two feet of a pig in a ring. Does it sound like

fun? It was. The stands were packed and usually between 70 to 100 kids would enter each year.

My beef is that the fair board shut the greasy pig event down because one pig activist was able to control the board and have it can-celled.

Then, I step down and the following year the board de-cides to host a mutton bustin’, which quite simply is kids on the back of an animal.

Anyways, and unfortu-nately, the list could go on and on for activists getting in the face of small town fairs.

Obviously, there were no major grants involved this year.Paul AllanSouth Mountain

Back to school activitiesMAPLE RIDGE – With the first few

weeks completed, the weeks to come are packed full of fun events

and opportunities for North Dundas District High School students.

The junior and senior girls bas-ketball teams had their first tryouts Wed., Sept. 12. The senior boys volleyball team also had tryouts on Sept. 12, as well as Thurs., Sept. 13.

The junior boys volley-ball was the first team to begin tryouts, with one on Tues., Sept. 11, and another on Sept. 13.

Golf also began last week, with a meeting held Sept. 12, in preparation for the tournament, which took place yesterday (Tues., Sept. 18). Congratulations to all!

North Dundas’ first spirit day is to be held this Friday, Sept. 21. It’s the house colour

day, and students can find out what colour their grade is by checking out the posters in the hallways, or student council’s Instagram

page (nddhs_sc1819). Students and parents can follow the account to see upcoming events, or pictures of ac-tivities that have taken place.

Student picture day was Sept. 13, and retakes will be available Fri., Oct. 12.

Finally, North Dundas is hosting a Terry Fox Walk on Thurs., Sept. 27. It is for an important cause, so we ask all students to grab a pledge form at lunchtime.

A table will set up at Grade 9 to 12 lunch, as well as Grades 7 and 8 lunch. There is a minimum pledge of $10 to participate in the walk.

We are looking forward to seeing all of the students, and staff walking for a good cause.

Focus onfood needsJohn Thompson (left) launched his bid for re-election in the Township of North Dundas with a campaign kick-off at McCloskey’s in his hometown of Chesterville. Not only did Thompson use the event to highlight his platform commitments, but the gathering served to collect donations for Community Food Share. In all, 100 pounds of food items were turned over, and $208. As well, Thompson donated a further $385 (the labour cost) after completing some electrical work at the organization’s May Street location in Winchester.

Helpful haircuts Trieste Barbershop owner Chris Roman was at Winchester’s Community Food Share location Mon., Sept. 17 doing what he does best – cut hair. But, it was much more than that. Roman was giving up time on his day off and he wasn’t charging for the job done. The haircuts went to organization clients, both past and present, who may not have the disposable income available for grooming or those who prioritize other needs out of necessity. “I really appreciate this,” Ray Wheeler (pictured here), who came in for a cleaner look after having cut off a ponytail he sported for more than 30 years, said.Press Photo – Uhrig

Red Roosters, Bush Leaguers open WTHL season with winsby Matthew UhrigPress staff

WINCHESTER – The 2018-2019 season of the historic Winchester Town Hockey League is under-way.

Opening the season Tues., Sept. 11 was the Red Roosters dismantling the Pineapple Express 11-4.

In game two, Thurler’s Thunder slipped past the Bush Leaguers 6-5.

Game action contin-ues every Tuesday night, all leading up to the play-offs in March and a chance to claim the 91-year-old Melvin Cup.

Roosters 11 – Express 4 Craig Domanski scored

the opening goal of the season, finding the back of

the Express’ net thanks to Derek Vingerhoeds and Ray Smegal.

In short order, the Roost-ers worked themselves into a 3-0 lead thanks to back to back goals from Nik Paas, with an un-assisted effort, and Brodie Boulanger ( f r o m Paas).

The Ex-press’ first goal of the game came off the stick of Shawn Simms (from John McGlashan and Jesse Shep-pard) at 10:01.

Rooster forward Travis Armstrong (from Brent Simms) and the Express’ Robyn Sadler (from Peter Klein Swormink and

McGlashan) both scored as the teams traded goals be-fore the first period ended.

Simms (from Klein Swormink) and Sadler (from Sheppard and Klein

Swormink) buried the Express’ final

goals of the game in the second pe-riod.

O t h e r -wise the frame be-

longed to the Roosters. Paas counted

his second marker of the contest, burying a feed from Brent Simms, and Boulanger cashed a chance set-up by Paas.

Smegal buried back-to-back goals, both unassisted, and Paas scored goals three

and four, both assisted by Boulanger and Armstrong.

The Roosters’ final goal of the came was scored by Armstrong (from Paas and Boulanger).

Colin Ion was the win-ning goaltender, while Jess Whyte was tagged with the loss.

Thunder 6 – Leaguers 5 It was a tight-checking,

close scoring affair when Thurler’s Thunder took on the Bush Leaguers in Sept. 11’s second game.

The Thunder did the bulk the scoring in the opening period, with Adrian Lee bagging the first goal (from Al Krumins and Brandon Cousineau). Dustin Tinkler, who potted two goals, the

TOWN HOCKEY LEAGUEEst. 1927

Hawks split season-opening games First game at home Friday nightARNPRIOR – It was CCHL2 Showcase weekend Fri., Sept. 14 to Sun., Sept. 16 at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior, and the Winchester Hawks used their two-game schedule to set about a year of transition for the club.

Coming off a consider-ably bad year on the ice, the Hawks used the two-game weekend as a jumping off point for improved team for-tunes this season and to stick to the finer points worked on during the recent string of pre-season games.

Game one for the Hawks was Sat., Sept. 15 against the Carleton Place Canadians.

It was Winchester that con-trolled the pace of play right from the opening faceoff, and

those efforts proved fortuitous about halfway through the frame.

William Mac-Donald, an im-port from Or-leans, scored the Hawks first goal of 2018-2019, finish-ing a pow-erplay effort started by K i e r a n G a y n o r and Dakota Seaman.

Just 19 seconds later, Hunter Randell, a George-town, Ont. native, gave Win-chester a 2-0 lead. Assists went to Kyle Kuehni and Miguel Pare.

It was all Hawks through-

out the first period, though both teams fired 13 shots apiece.

Period two was score-less, though

Carleton Place held the edge in shots on

goal, hitting Winchester goalie Brent P l e d g e -Dickson with

10, while the Hawks responded

with just four. The Canadians finally

broke through in the third, as Jake Code (from Kyle Light-foot) split the Hawks lead at 16:07.

From there, Pledge Dick-son shut the door, ultimately

making 29 saves on 30 shots. Winchester totalled 14

minutes in penalties to Car-leton Place’s 12.

Blue Wings 2 – Hawks 1 If nothing else, Winchester

can take solace in a low scor-ing weekend, both for and against.

After taking down Car-leton Place 2-1 a day earlier, this time it was the Hawks on the losing end of an identi-cal score Sun., Sept. 16 when they faced the Perth Blue Wings.

Perth took a 1-0 lead at 10:52 of the first period when Miller (from Jordan Currie) beat Hawks goaltender Darien

Rockets close out pre-season with winsWINCHESTER – The pre-season is over, and the North Dundas Rockets appear fueled up and ready for take-off.

Setting the table for this weekend’s National Capital Junior Hockey League 2018-2019 Showcase in Gatin-eau was two final warm-up contests for North Dundas.

Fri., Sept. 14’s contest saw the Rockets thrash Mor-risburg 9-2 at the Lions home rink, and on Sun., Sept. 16, North Dundas skated to an 8-7 win against the By-town Royals at Winchester’s Joel Steele Community Centre.

Up next is Sat., Sept. 22’s showcase, where the Rockets will meet up with the Royals once again. The puck drops at 7:30 pm.

The next day (Sun., Sept. 23), North Dundas heads to St-Isidore to take on the Eagles at 7:30 pm.

North Dundas’ string of road games continues Sat., Sept. 29 with a trip to Morrisburg to face the Lions, and then to Cardinal Sat., Oct. 6 to take on the South Gren-ville Rangers.

The Rockets first home game of the season at the Chesterville and District Arena is set for Sat., Oct. 13 when the Vankleek Hill Cougars provide the opposition.

Parmalat Canada update on the commissioning of the Dissolved Air Floatation System (DAF)

Over the last week, as per the implementation plan schedule, the Parmalat Canada team has initiated phase 2 of the commissioning of the DAF treat-ment system with diverting small quantities of the production wastewater to perform pressure and leak tests, as well as evaluate the effi ciency and performance of all system components. To date, all testing procedures have been positive and work is progressing according to plan.The DAF is a sophisticated system consisting of 3 highly eff ective compo-nents: a physical fi lter that separates large solid particles from wastewater, a chemical addition point that conditions waste water effl uent via the ad-dition of a variety of additives, and a mechanical air injection point where oxygen is injected to the wastewater stream. The injected oxygen bubble attaches to the surface of small solid particles in the wastewater stream, causes these solids to fl oat to the top of the DAF tank, is skimmed off from the tank thus leaving behind a cleaner stream of effl uent water. With the complete system now operational for testing purposes, further hands on practical training of all appointed DAF employees was completed this week. This ensures the team’s readiness when the system is fully op-erational and starts treating all production wastewater later in September. While the system ramps up to full capacity, it is anticipated there will be a gradual reduction of odours over a period of several weeks. While we acknowledge there are remaining odours at this time in the community during the implementation process, we remain confi dent the DAF system will allow improved control of odours near term as part of a series of comprehensive upgrades. Lastly, we would like to confi rm existing odour control mitigation measures are maintained.

Sonics finish season with lossMOUNTAIN – It was a disappointing game to cap off a disappointing season for the North Dundas Sonics.

The MR3 team welcomed the Lynwood Wolves to the pitch at Mountain Memorial Park Wed., Sept. 12, the final game of the Ottawa Carleton Soccer League campaign for both sides.

The Sonics jumped into an early 1-0 lead after Dylan Roberts set up a scor-ing play, which instead of bouncing off a teammate hit an opposition player and found the back of the Wolves net.

“Dylan has consistently been our sec-ond leading scorer for a few years, but the ball wasn’t going in for him this season,” team captain Julian Whittam said. “It was nice to see him get a break, even if he doesn’t get credit for the goal.”

Roberts has spent much of the season tending the net for the Sonics, filling in for the injured Vince Goulet.

North Dundas carried the play for much of the game, though gave up a late goal in the first-half.

Dave Mathers was his usual dangerous self, leading with the ball and putting a few chances wide of the net. He did even-tually chip one over the Wolves keeper, giving the Sonics the lead to start the sec-ond-half.

“As has been the story all season, it just seemed like we expected that we’d win once we got the lead, and had about 10 minutes where we just weren’t concen-trating,” Whittam said.

Lynwood would then get two “gar-bage goals,” Whittam noted, giving the Wolves a 3-2 lead.

Goulet did try to fill his usual role as keeper to open the game, but the shoul-der injury that’s plagued him during the season kept him from doing the job. He instead took up the role as striker, hitting two posts and leaving North Dundas end-ing its season with a loss.

“We’ve never been a team that scores a ton of goals, but last year we worked hard, played smart, and made the most of our chances,” Whittam said. “We were hoping that success would carry over to this year, but from the first game of the pre-season we just weren’t sharp, for whatever reason.”

The captain estimated that the Son-ics were the better team on the pitch for about 75 per cent of every game played this season, but “bad ball luck and lapses in concentration sunk us.”

“We put things together for a good run in the middle of the season, but lost whatever mojo we had going near the end again,” Whittam said. “We all had high expectations for this year, but we took a step back. These things happen… It’s a good opportunity for us to look at what went wrong and start next year strong again.”

The final line on the season for the Sonics is 14 games played, four wins, eight losses, 26 goals for and 27 against, totalling 14 points.

WTHLfirst from Ryan Romans and Cousineau, and the second courtesy Phil Dun-can, followed Lee on the scoresheet.

The final Thunder goal of the first half came cour-tesy Travis Marshall (from Romans and Lee).

Scoring for the Leaguers in the first were Steve Cam-eron (from Brandon Buma and Colton Stitt), and Buma (from Brad Bingley and Cameron).

Though they didn’t win the game, the Leaguers did win the second period, out-

scoring the Thunder 3-2. Buma (from Mitchell

Thurler and Cameron), Cameron (from Bingley and Buma), and Buma (from Cory Brown and Cameron) did the work.

For the winning Thun-der, it was goals from Cous-ineau, assisted by Tinkler and Krumins, and Duncan, with a solo effort, which led the team to victory.

Goalie Matthew Larabie hung his first “W” of the season, while Craig Moran, tending the pipes for the Leaguers, took the loss.

Yvette Banning Yvette Banning (nee Aube) passed away peacefully at Dundas Manor in Winchester on Mon., Sept. 10, 2018. She was 101.

She was the loving wife of the late Robert Banning. Yvette was the sister of the late Bill, Yvon, and Rose. She is survived by her brother-in-law, Lorne Banning, sister-in-law, Jean Lay, and many nieces and nephews.

At Yvette’s request, services will be held privately. If desired, donations to Dundas Manor would be appre-

ciated.The arrangements are entrusted to Daley Family Fu-

neral Home in Metcalfe, 613-821-2120.

Cecil Arthur Hunter Cecil Arthur Hunter of Ingleside passed away peacefully and courageously with his loving family by his side on Fri., Sept. 14, 2018. He was 61.

Cecil was born in Williamsburg on Jan. 20, 1957. He was the amazing and loving husband of Julie Hunter (nee Hubert), and the devoted and adventurous Dad to Kerri Hunter and Jeremy Collins of Morris-burg; and Erin and Mark Kapcala of Morewood. He was the dedi-cated and fun-loving Grandpa to Austin Kapcala, Cooper Collins, and Lucas Collins. He was prede-ceased by his caring parents, Jer-ainne and Ronald “Buck” Hunter. Cecil will be fondly missed by his siblings, nieces, and nephews, and his faithful companions, Sully and Brooke.

“Cec” loved listening and playing classic rock, building re-markable gadgets, writing witty poems, enjoying the country air, and relaxing in his rocking chair. His smile, laughter, gen-erosity, creative imagination, insightful conversations, and his signature hat will be missed but remembered always. We are forever grateful for him and the memories he gave us.

A private Celebration of Life will take place at a later date. Donations in memory of Cecil to an animal rescue orga-

nization of your choice would be gratefully acknowledged by the family.

will meet again.

Forever loved,Elaine Berry, Elizabeth,

VERNON – The Osgoode Historical Society is celebrating the completion of renovations with a return to Pioneer Days.

Sat., Sept. 15 marked the first time in a few years that the museum has hosted its traditional event which got its start in1983.

Rising costs forced its hiatus for a few years.

Former Osgoode Ward councillor Doug Thompson recently joined the museum’s board and started looking for financial sponsors. He was able to gain the support of the city and local events such as Shroomfest. Consequently, the museum was able to host Pioneer Days to celebrate renovations at the museum.

The main building has received a new roof, but the renovations still have a few weeks to go before the public can come and visit.

Another change to the museum is the arrival of a new museum manager.

Robin Cushnie has looked after the operations at the museum for the past seven years, but she is moving on. Com-ing in to take her spot is Jillian Metcalfe a member of the Chesterville and District Historical Society.
