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

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 [email protected] 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!

Getting on the green

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 [email protected], supportevents such as the barbecue,or drop into the ReStore,which has recently moved to1400 Vincent Massey Dr.,

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

St. Isidore for Game 6 on Sunday night.

Rockets 6 Eagles 4: The Rockets

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-

retook the lead when Choquette scored

from Bougie and Frederick Gagnier at

10:24 but the Rockets rebounded again as

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.

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.

on the Papineau Vikings who beat the

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

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

by two games with a chance for the Eagles

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.

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.
