Spring really is on the wayIt’s hard to tell with all the snow and cold temperatures experienced in March so far, but spring hasofficially sprung, as evidenced by the open water in drains, creeks and rivers, like the South Nationin Chesterville. Spring, as computed by the astronomical (not meteorological) method, started yester-day, Tues., March 20, at 12:15 p.m. Why 12:15? Because that is when the sun crosses the celestialequator – the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth’s equator – from south to north. The vernal(spring) and autumnal equinoxes mark the two days of the year when the whole planet receives almostthe same amount of sunshine, 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness. Vetter photo

Record StaffOTTAWA – The 91st annual Ottawa Valley Farm
Show once again welcomed thousands of visitors to theEY Centre in Ottawa from March 13 to 15.
As usual the newest farm technology was on displaywith sales representatives on hand to discuss newtrends and techniques ranging from precision planting,to GPS and drone use, to robotic milkers and feedpushers, to new seed varieties. Besides technology,farm advocates were on hand, as well as financiers andadvisors of all stripes.
The highlight of the show, the Ottawa Valley SeedGrowers’ pedigreed seed auction, includes not onlyaward-winning seed, but also donated items like thequilted hanging from Flair with Fabrics, an oil painting,the toy tractor which always sparks auction fever, a castiron tractor seat from Vintage Iron & Traditions of
Eastern Ontario, a signed copy of the HomeGrowncookbook, and other unique items. This year’s toytractor was a John Deere, in celebration of John Deere’s100th anniversary. George Tackaberry and Sons ofAthens purchased it in an exciting auction for $4,500,seeming willing to pay any price, but two other biddersdropped out around $3,000 and $4,000.
Many of the seed buyers immediately donated the seedthey had just paid top dollar for to the CanadianFoodgrains Bank, thereby doubling their donations. Fundsraised at the auction went to the Children’s Hospital ofEastern Ontario, which this year received $15,000 – animpressive amount to raise in an hour-long auction.
Editor’s note: Due to space limitations in the
Record, additional in-depth articles, results and photos
for the Ottawa Valley Farm Show will be published in
the April issue of the Eastern Ontario AgriNews.

Record Correspondent
It’s almost here! That
most rejuvenating of
seasons is upon us
heralded by the t ime
change, the return of
Canada geese and of
course St. Patrick’s Day.
March 17 to some is a day
to wear a green
leprechaun’s hat, drink a
green beverage and
perhaps sing an Irish song
or two.
Growing up I was
convinced that all my
ancestors had emigrated
from the Emerald Isle, that
little bit of heaven that fell
out of the sky one day
otherwise known as
Ireland. I was partly right
for my branch of the
Thompson family
emigrated from Northern
Ireland, but a few
generations prior to
coming to Canada they
were sent to Ireland from
Scotland as planters, as did
David Monteith who hailed
from Sandy Row in Belfast
(st i l l a Protestant
stronghold) before settling
on the road near South
Mountain that he named
Sandy Row in honour of
his Belfast home.
Grandpa David
Monteith married my
grandmother, Ann Lynch,
who hailed from Eire. I
grew up on stories about
her working her way
across the Atlantic to
Canada on a cattle boat
with a cousin. It was an
interesting story which
Mom would often tell, but
a few years ago I found out
that the truth was a bit
different. Seems that
Grandma Monteith was
married in Ireland. Her
husband died on the ship
coming to Canada and her
first child was born in
Iroquoi. There she had
found work as a maid in a
hotel before she was
married to Grandpa
Monteith.
In my safety deposit
box is a small ring which
Grandma Ann Monteith
brought to Canada with her
when she came from
Ireland. While I know it
was given to my Grandma
Sharpe who gave it to my
Mom, her granddaughter,
with it being given to me
almost 40 years ago, how
Grandma Ann acquired it
no one knows. Mom
speculated i t may have
been her mother’s but the
fact that she brought i t
with her to Canada means
it was very important to
her.
This ring was very
important to my Mom who
kept i t on her dresser
where I would often open
its tiny box and look at it.
When my daughter Naomi
and granddaughter Zoey
come over for a visi t I
sometimes think of that
t iny ring in my safety
deposit box, of how some
day it will be given to
Naomi with the story of
her great-great-great-
grandmother who brought
it with her to Canada
during the Irish potato
famine.
I f inally concluded my St . Paddy’s weekend –
remember when it was only one night? – with a short
visit Sunday afternoon to the Keith M. Boyd Museum
for an “Irish Tea Party” which I thought might be code
and that I might be handed a wee dram of whiskey.
I should have known better, of course. Downstairs in
the former Baptist church that makes up part of the two-
building museum complex, I was served tea as
advertised along with home-baked treats catered by
several volunteers clad in green. I t was fair
compensation for the lack of whiskey.
Upstairs, The Gallaghers of Osgoode were serving up
appropriate tunes to an enthusiastic crowd seated among
the museum artifacts. “At times like this, we could use
more room,” said Russell and District Historical Society
Chair Judy James, explaining the concert was organized
as a way of livening things up during the museum’s
usual Sunday afternoon opening.
Mom, Pop, and three of the four kids, The Gallagers
certainly did just that, clearly illustrating why they’ve
received repeated positive reviews for performances
across Eastern Ontario. Through Mom Debbie, they’re
linked to Osgoode farming and music royalty, the Acres
sheep-raising family.
The Gallaghers were the finale to my green, music-
filled weekend which got going Friday night with
karaoke and Irish stew at an impressively decorated
Prescott Legion. If you weren’t there, you missed the
dubious pleasure of me belting out When Irish Eyes are
Smiling, not to mention several Emerald Isle ditties
rendered by other regulars.
Saturday night, Prescott bars The Red George,
O’Heaphy’s and Boomers were filled to overflowing
with wearing of the greenies hoisting a wee pint or five
to the leprechaun in all of us, even we Canadian Van
Dusens who, despite the Dutch name, have 90 per cent
Irish blood raging through us.
Earlier Saturday, it was over to Windmill Brewery on
Highway 2 just east of Prescott for Happy Crap. What’s
that? A weirdly named type of beer, some friends and
relatives wondered. No, it’s a self-described, three-man
“pseudo-Celtic garage band” that performed at the
Windmill/King’s Lock Craft Distillery complex on St.
Paddy’s afternoon.
A keen green crowd spil led onto the
brewery/disti l lery floor
where HC was set up on a
greenly decorated stage.
Patrons also gathered
around sampling bars on
both sides of the business
known for its summer live
music parties in the picnic
pavilion. The Happy Crappers offered up just the right mix of
Irish and related party songs. Windmill owners Sean andAmanda Lucey’s latest beverage selection is actuallycalled Barracks, a blackish rather than greenish brewwith a hint of chocolate. Because of my busy St. Pat’sschedule, I only had time for one on Saturday but Iintend to go back for more.
Meanwhile, on the distillery side, owners Laura andRob Heuvel set up samples of their celebrated spirits forthirsty customers. At the Canadian Artisan SpiritCompetition in Vancouver, King’s Lock picked up gold,silver or bronze medals for each of four productsentered, nice additions to the bronze medal won last yearfor its 1000 Islands Moonshine in the International SpiritCompetition in London, England.
Amazingly, this brings us back to the Russel lMuseum which I helped establish almost 30 years ago.Our leader was the late Keith Boyd who arranged toflatbed the framed, deconsecrated Baptist church fromCastor Street across the river to its current site; it wasquickly f i l led with documents and historical lysignificant items that Keith had been hoarding for years.Much later, the former fire hall was added as themuseum’s second building.
A member of the board for many years and custodianof the key when I lived across the street in the DuncanHouse, I used to be much closer to the ongoing museumoperations. These days, I only get there for specialevents; I still get a little thrill whenever I walk throughthe front door and see the original painting of the oldchurch that my mother completed many years ago.
The museum is well worth support ing and thehistorical society always welcomes new members at anuber-modest annual fee of $10. You too may becomeinvolved in maintaining, cataloguing, repair ing,preserving, and promoting the museum collection. Formore information, email info@russellmuseum.ca or call613-445-3849.
In signing off: May the wind at your back not be theresult of the corned beef and cabbage you had for lunch!

Record StaffWINCHESTER – Habitat
for Humanity was thebeneficiary of a barbecuefundraiser at the TownVintner in Winchester on Sat.,March 17. Marc Dacosta andKarina Stevens, owners ofJambel, a local companywhich produces savouryCaribbean-style foods,cooked on a barbecue outsidethe wine production shop,while inside Habitat forHumanity staff personBreckyn Fowler and familyrecipient member SarahBeatty talked to the 100+people who attended thebarbecue. Ingredients,including meat and buns,were provided by Greg’sMeats. Winchester BMR,which sells building supplies,is also a donor to Habitat’sbuilds.
Shawn Brownlee andIrene Brownlee, owners ofthe Town Vintner, were happyto host the event and werepleasantly surprised by thenumber of visitors to theirshop. “It’s been a great day,”said Shawn, “and we love tosupport them.”
Habitat for Humanity isbased in Cornwall and servesall of SDSG. “Every dollarput in goes back into buildingmore homes,” said Fowler.“It’s great to see thecommunity coming behind uslike this.”
Fowler said it costs about$110,000 to buy a lot andbuild a home in SDSG. “It’snot low-income housing,” shestressed. “It’s a full marketvalue, modest house, for a
low-income family.”It’s also not giving with
nothing in return. “It’s a handup, not a hand out,” Fowlersaid. “Clients pay full marketvalue for the home, andHabitat holds the mortgage,which is interest-free. Ourclients then have to dedicatesweat equity to the build, andtheir payments are geared toincome.”
She explained that manyfamilies have a lower familyincome, especially if oneperson is looking after thechildren, but that didn’t meanthey shouldn’t have theopportunity to build equitythrough home ownership.“Coming up with 10, 15 or 20per cent is hard and gettingharder,” she said andexplained that prospectiveHabitat clients can apply onthe website which asks aboutfive questions. “There are low-income cut-off scores whichvary from year to year. Youmust be willing to be a partnerand provide physical help inthe building of the house, youcan’t own any real property,and you must have the abilityto pay back a mortgage.” Sheclarified that ability to pay didnot necessarily mean a highcredit rating such as a bankwould require.
To donate to the Beattybuild, which will breakground this spring in Williamsburg, contactFowler at 613-938-0413 ext.207, email Breckyn@habitatcornwall.org, supportevents such as the barbecue,or drop into the ReStore,which has recently moved to1400 Vincent Massey Dr.,

events include theHumaniTea Party in Cornwallon Sat., May 5, at whichattendees not only get a nicehigh tea, but are also allowedto take their teacups home.“We’ve had so much chinadonated to the ReStore inCornwall,” she said, “sowe’re happy to pass it alongto a good home.”
The Cornwall office ofHabitat for Humanity recentlytook part in its first mortgage

WINCHESTER – Lessthan a month after arrivingin Canada from Egypt,Adel, Dania and their threechildren, Hamza, Liain andMasa, are settling into theirnew home in Winchester.Originally from theDamascus area in Syria, thefamily has been living justoutside of Cairo for the pastfive years and came toCanada under the auspicesof the North DundasCoalition for RefugeeSupport.
Moira Law,spokeswoman for theNDCRS, told TheChesterville Recordrecently the group wasformed in the fall of 2015and a few months later werematched with the family in
Egypt. She thanked theRefugee SponsorshipSupport Program for alltheir legal assistance,making note of the work ofJason Tree and that “he wasresponsive and fast withpaperwork and legalquestions.”
When asked about herfeelings about arrival inCanada, speaking throughan electronic translator,Dania replied, “I could notbelieve I had arrived inCanada, met the group andended the series ofdarkness.” Her hopes forthe future include lookingforward to a safe life andgood education for herchildren.
Law explained how the“people in Winchester havebeen extremely warm,friendly, helpful and
generous” since the plan tobring the family to thismunicipality began. Shementioned that many of theimmediate needs have beensecured with the familybeginning English languagetraining soon and thechildren entering localschools.
Since 2015, the NDCRShas been raising funds in
support of the family. OnMarch 10 in Morrisburg, theTilted Steeple CoffeeHouse, a group with similargoals, held a fundraiser atSt. Paul’s Anglican Churchin that community withIsabelle Delage launchingher new CD. They invitedthe newcomers to join themand Law mentioned howDelage “introduced our
family to the audience whogreeted them with lovelywarm applause and manycame to speak to themduring intermission andwelcome them” to the area.She thanked the group forsharing their donation withthe NDCRS.

Record CorrespondentSOUTH STORMONT –
During the March 14Township of SouthStormont Council meeting,approval was given for theinstallation of water metersin Newington. Currentlythere are 105 residences inNewington which receivemunicipal water which isnot metered and they areinvoiced on a quarterlybasis. The othercommunities in SouthStormont do have watermeters and when they wereinstalled over a decade agothe cost of providing watermeters in Newington wasdeemed to be costprohibitive.
Two informationmeetings were hosted by themunicipality prior to theMarch 14 council meetingduring which Newingtonresidents were providedinformation on the projectand questions from theresidents answeredregarding possible waterrate increases, meterinstallation costs, howmeters will be read and theaffect the ages of somehouses will have on theinstallation process.
Information obtainedfrom the March 14 councilmeeting package indicatesthe Township has receivedfunding “through the CleanWater and Waste WaterFund.” The estimated “costper household for supply
and installation of the watermeter would be $150,”which resulted in thedecision taken by council toinstall water meters inNewington.
At the informationsession in March 2018,South Stormont Mayor JimBancroft said there was awater rate study beingconducted in themunicipality and suggestedhow a one rate systemthroughout South Stormontmay eventually beinstituted. Currently,residents in Newington paya flat rate for water usage,while in other communitieswhere there is meteredmunicipal water serviceresidents pay a rate for aspecified amount of waterand additional charges forusing more than thespecified amount of water.
Mayor Jim Bancroft saidin an email recently some ofthe advantages to having
meters installed inNewington includedemonstrating “toindividual households howmuch water is being usedby the homeowner” thatcould result in less use ofthis important resource.Despite there being severalconcerns raised about thisproject from Newingtonresidents, Bancroft furthercommented in the email
how he is “comfortable theresidents are fully aware ofcouncil’s position and withthe report from staff wehave addressed thequestions raised at bothmeetings.”
It is expected theinstallation of water metersin the village of Newingtonin South Stormont will becompleted later thisSpring.
Newingtonset to receivewater meters
Water meter meeting in NewingtonA public information meeting for residents of Newington in South Stormont whoreceive municipal water was held recently at the Newington Fire Station.Approximately 30 residents attended the meeting where South Stormont Mayor JimBancroft and Director of Public Works Ross Gellately provided information on theinstallation of water meters in Newington.

FLASH SALE!MARCH 22-23-24
1027 Notre-Dame, Embrun, ON 613 443-2191
FROM 9 A.M. - 6 P.M.
Community was at the
event with Alain D’Aoust
demonstrating the
methodology of composting
with worms and providing
an opportunity for young
and old to get their hands
dirty looking for the busy
lumbricus terrestris in a
container full of compost.
The seed swap table was
a busy place throughout the
day. High school volunteer
Erin Qiu, one of 30
volunteers at Seedy
Saturday, explained how all
the seeds were donated by
either individuals or
businesses and people were
encouraged to take as many
as they wished. There were
gardening groups present
who were able to provide
information on various
techniques, as well as
several seed vendors with
many varieties available to
purchase.
During Seedy Saturday,
there was the opportunity
for people to add a picture
to a mural begun by
Transition Cornwall+.
Rendek explained how the
mural will travel to various
community events in which
the organization takes part.
Also present were local
food producers such as
Homestead Organics,
Upper Canada Creamery
and Honey From The Glen,
as well as Simply Baked
Catering from Winchester.
Cheryl Beasley, one of the
co-owners of Simply
Baked, was pleased with
the event, mentioning how
organizers provided food
for vendors, volunteers and
exhibitors. Tom Manley of
Homestead Organics
commented, “Generally
speaking, I am very
pleased to see the
development of the local
food movement in
Cornwall and SDG.” Both
Beasley and Manley
remarked on “lots of
visitors” to the event.
During the past four
years, the Seedy Saturday
event in Cornwall has
grown into an educational
event which provides
information to gardening
enthusiasts while enabling
those in the local food
system an opportunity to
network and share ideas.

St. ISIDORE — The North Dundas
Rockets had a busy week of playoff hockey
as they travelled to St. Isidore on Tuesday
night for Game 3 and Thursday night for
Game 4 and back to Chesterville for Game
5 on Saturday night before heading back to
St. Isidore for Game 6 on Sunday night.
Rockets 6 Eagles 4: The Rockets
travelled to the St. Isidore Arena to take on
the Eagles on Sun., March 18, for Game 6
of the best of seven NCJHL semifinals. The
Rockets took the series lead for the first
time after taking Game 5 with a victory win
of 8-5 to move on to the final for the second
consecutive season.
The Eagles needed a win just to stay
alive in the series and had a slight
advantage with home ice in the game. The
Eagles opened the scoring just 24 seconds
into the first period as Jacob Belanger
scored from Maxime Choquette to take a 1-
0 lead.
The Eagles made it a 2-0 game when
Francis Chartrand scored a power-play goal
at 17:29 from Choquette and Ryan Wells.
The Rockets answered just 28 seconds later
as Chris Marchand blasted one home from
Connor Roth and Bryden Van Kessel and
tied the game when Van Kessel rattled one
from Justin Lefebvre and Brad Stitt with
just 1:42 remaining in the opening frame.
The teams took a two-all draw into the
first intermission. The Rockets took their
first lead of the game as Shawn Simms
scored an unassisted goal just 1:38 into the
second period.
The Eagles answered right back as
Alexis Leclerc scored from Zachary Bougie
at 2:05 to tie the game at three. The Eagles
retook the lead when Choquette scored
from Bougie and Frederick Gagnier at
10:24 but the Rockets rebounded again as
Lefebvre sniped one from Simms just 25
seconds later.
The teams took a four-all draw into the
second intermission. The Rockets took their
second lead of the game when Roth
snapped one to the back of the net from
Tom Fingler at 634 to make it 5-4.
Marchand scored his second of the game
unassisted with 2:24 remaining in
regulation to give the Rockets a cushion.
The Eagles came unglued taking 34
minutes in penalties in the last two minutes
allowing the Rockets to take the game 6-4.
With the win the Rockets move on to take
on the Papineau Vikings who beat the
Clarence Castors earlier in the day in six
games. Picking up the win in the Rockets’
goal was Jason Buma and suffering the loss
in the Eagles’ goal was Philippe Roy.
Rockets 8 Eagles 4: The Rockets
welcomed the St. Isidore Eagles to the
Chesterville Arena on Sat., March 19, for
Game 5 of the best of seven NCJHL
semifinals. The two teams went into the
game with the series knotted at two games
apiece and the winner of this game would
have a chance to wrap up the series in the
next game. The Rockets carried the
momentum after taking Game 4 with a
score of 10-2 as they looked to take the first
lead of the series.
The Rockets got the ball rolling at 5:20
of the first period as Brad Stitt steered one
home from Bryden Van Kessel to take a 1-0
lead. The Rockets made it 2-0 when Tom
Fingler rifled one to the back of the net
from Connor Roth and Van Kessel at 17:19
on the power play.
The Rockets took the 2-0 lead into the
first intermission. The Rockets added
another power-play goal just 32 seconds
into the second period as Van Kessel sniped
one from Chris Marchand and Roth to make
it 3-0.
The Eagles got one back as Jacob
Belanger scored at 4:34 from Maxime
Choquette to make it 3-1. The Rockets took
advantage of another Eagles’ penalty as Van
Kessel netted his second of the game from
Fingler and Roth on the ensuing power play
at 6:19. Van Kessel scored his third goal
with the Rockets down a man at 8:43 from
McKay Balaton.
The Rockets took a 5-1 lead into the
second intermission. The Eagles got to
within three as Zachary Bougie scored from
Ryan Wells and Calvin Cormier at 9:15 of
the third period. The Rockets got that one
back just 30 seconds later when Van Kessel
scored his fourth of the game from Fingler
and Roth to make it 6-2.
The Rockets made it 7-2 at 10:51 as
Balaton lit the lantern from Shawn Simms
and Tanner Barnett and 8-2 as Matt Cowley
blasted one home from Fingler and Roth.
The Eagles scored two late goals at 14:35
and with 1:29 remaining both by Choquette
and both unassisted.
The Rockets took the game 8-4 and a 3-2
series lead with a chance to finish off the

up the win in the Rockets’ goal was Jason
Buma making 43 saves on 47 shots and
suffering the loss was Philippe Roy making
33 saves on 41 shots.
Rockets 10 Eagles 2: The Rockets
travelled to the St. Isidore Arena to take on
the Eagles on Thurs., March 15, for Game 4
of the best of seven NCJHL semifinals. The
Eagles led the series two games to one after
defeating the Rockets in the previous game
8-5 but would be short two of the players
they picked up for the past game as the
league deemed them as illegal. For the
Rockets, it was a must-win game as they
didn’t want to head home trailing the series
by two games with a chance for the Eagles
to close things out.
The Rockets opened the scoring at 11:24
of the first period as Shawn Simms
powered one to the back of the net from
Brad Stitt and Bryden Van Kessel on the
power play. Simms scored his second of the
game with just 1:15 remaining in the

last minute as Lefebvre slipped one home
from Simms with just 33 seconds remaining
and took a 3-0 lead into the first
intermission. The Rockets made it 4-0 when
Stitt lit the lamp from Lefebvre at 5:12 of
the second period and 5-0 at 10:31 as Matt
Cowley scored an unassisted goal.
The Rockets added another late-period
goal with just 56 seconds remaining in the
Rockets oust Eagles, move on to NCJHL championship
Rob’s ReviewRob Sadler, GM
North Dundas Rockets
As General Manager of
the club, it’s been a roller
coaster of a series for our
team. We were awful in
Game 1, great in Game 2,
beaten by two illegal
players in Game 3, then
won three straight to finish
the series in spite of some
disgraceful officiating in all
three wins. We are looking
forward to the match up
with the Papineau Vikings –
the 1st- and 2nd-place
teams meeting in the finals
should provide some
entertaining hockey.
From a player
standpoint, we are getting
great efforts out of everyone
starting in nets with Jason
Buma and Reilly
Tondreau. Our “D”
consisting of Bryden
Vankessel, Matt Cowley,
Brodie Barkley, Tanner
Barnett, Nick Sourges and
Ryan Carbonette have been
very good. Up front, all
three lines are going and we
are getting defensive and
offensive contributions
from everyone as the score
sheet shows. I would also
like to note that we got
some help from Kage
Hallett out of Kemptville
minor hockey who dressed
in both of the last two wins.
Papineau is going to be a
challenge, a good hockey
team that has been in first
place most of the year with
a great offence and solid
goaltending. This series is
truly a best on best
situation. If we show up and
give it everything we have
as a team then I am sure the
Vikings will have all they
can handle with the
Rockets.
The first home game of
the NCJHL finals will
be Sat., March 24,at the
Chesterville Arena at 7:30
p.m. puck drop.
Thanks again to the
community for all the
support, one more round to
go.
See you at the rink!

Latour of Guinness Book ofWorld Records fame isgearing up for his secondrecord-breaking threshingbee next year. Latour brokethe world record at the St.Albert Curd Festival in 2016with 111 machines allthreshing simultaneously for15 minutes. He did it partlyto raise money for breastcancer awareness, and tohonour his wife who died ofcancer the very next day.
He had only needed topass the former recordholders in Saskatchewan,organized by Ken Mack,who in 2013 had 41 millsthreshing at the same time.Latour was astonished andgratified by the localresponse of 115 mills (of
which only four didn’toperate as expected). Mackand many of hisSaskatchewan volunteerswere at the Curd Fest tocongratulate Latour. ButLatour was disappointedwhen, only a year later, hisrecord was broken in Austin,Manitoba, by a group calledHarvesting Hope, whichdonated funds and grain tothe Manitoba AgriculturalMuseum and CanadianFoodgrains Bank. There,138 mills workedsimultaneously (out of 148).
At that time. Latour wasdetermined he would takethe record back, and startedcalling on his supporters.This year they have startedthe crop rotation on the St.Albert Cheese Factory’s 200acres, getting ready for thebarley that will be harvested

in 2019.Latour was at the Ottawa
Valley Farm Show in mid-March where he told TheRecord that he already hasover 150 threshers ready tobring their threshing millsnext year, and he fullyexpects to end up with over200 participants.
His 2015 event was heldat the Curd Festival inAugust, on one of thehottest days of the year,following a record-settingrain storm the day beforewhich turned the pathwaysbetween the threshers on thesite into a quagmire. Thehumidity and heat didn’taffect operations as the grainhad been cut, stooked andstored well before the event.
Having it as part of thefestival also meant lots ofspectators, who then had theopportunity to samplelocally produced beer andwine, not to mention cheese,
and listen to entertainmentprovided by St. AlbertCheese, which alwaysattracts a good crowd.
If Latour does get 200participants that will be areally tough record to break.Once again, funds raised
will go to support the causeof breast cancer awareness.To register call Latour at613-720-1845.
Going for a new world record – againFrancois Latour was at the Ottawa Valley Farm Show last week promoting his nextworld record challenge. He needs 150 working threshing mills to take part in a 15-minute threshing bee at the St. Albert Cheese Festival in August of 2019, and sayshe expects about 200. Vetter photo

Branch No. 627, located just west ofEdwards on Mitch Owens Dr., hosted itsannual St. Patrick’s Day party on Sat.,March 17.
As usual the event attracted about 100people, plus a dozen or so musicians whojammed to old-time country and Celtictunes in the Legion’s big hall. Each year theparty hosts musicians who please thecrowd, as is obvious by how quicklyaudience members get up and dance to thefamiliar tunes.
Legion President Linda Wyman didn’tknow how exactly long the tradition hadbeen established, but knew the St. Paddy’sparty has been an annual event for decades.
Besides Irish music, the requisite bar,and a dinner of home-made Irish stew, the
Greely Legion celebratesSt. Paddy’s
Tripping the light fantasticIt was a green-toned dance floor at the St. Patrick’s Day party at the GreelyLegion near Edwards on Sat., March 17, as Legionnaires and guests quicklygot up to dance to the old-time and traditional Celtic music. Wearing green onSt. Patrick’s Day is not only expected, it is also considered lucky. So therewas no bad luck visible as everyone had at least one green accessory. Shownat bottom are Eunice Sugrue and Joan Walker in back, and Barbara Picknell,Hilda Beehler, Pauline Beehler and Ron Beehler in front.

event also brought out the green. One of themost entertaining reasons to visit thatLegion on St. Paddy’s is people-watching.There one can see party-goers wearing anastonishing array of funny greenaccessories.
In previous years the party has started at1 p.m., but this year the bands startedplaying at 3 p.m., partly because St.Paddy’s fell on a Saturday, allowing theparty to continue later.
Dancing is a big part of the GreelyLegion, which presents music and dancingthe first and third Tuesdays of every month,from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. It has also hosted anannual Country Music festival for the past10 years. The jamboree usually focuses onold-time country, and this year it will beheld from July 26 to July 29. Roughcamping is available on site, and the Legionhall has a full kitchen, hall/gym (to whichthe party can move indoors in case ofinclement weather), outdoor band shell,outdoor dancing slab, and washrooms.
