Located in the Garry River watershed just west of Alexan-dria, the Glengarry Trail system covers nearly 15 kilometres of natural beauty. There are many boardwalks, small bridges and interpretive signs along the trails.

The Friends of Glengarry Trails Association (FGTA) pro-vide trail maintenance, upkeep, education, and special events all year round. So whether you like bird watching, hiking, cy-cling, cross country skiing or just taking your dog for a walk, the Glengarry Trails system has something to share and enjoy with family and friends all year round.

The Friends of Glengarry Trails Association (FGTA) is a volunteer group of trail enthu-siasts who devote their efforts to the development and main-tenance of a nature trail system in the Township of North Glen-garry.

Originally constructed with the assistance of Provincial and Municipal funding, it is now entirely maintained through the generosity of the users and the community in general by way of memberships and participation in fund-raising events.

• Distance of trails is 15 kilo-metres

• The website is www.glen-garrytrails.com

• Horseback riding is not al-lowed on the trails, the horses cause too much damage to the trail surface and it is extremely dangerous to take horses on the boardwalk

• Parking is no longer avail-able at the Bonnie Glen Pavil-lion. The FGTA suggests on its map that people can park at Island Park, the Glengarry Me-morial Hospital and two loca-tions on Lakeshore Road.

Local arts at Two Beans Café

» 5

Kasey Rogers operates the Two Beans Café in Alexandria, which has big plans to promote local arts. The café is raising funds to obtain a film license to show films in a converted barn near Alexandria on County Road 45.

The café also holds open stage nights encouraging poets and writers to share their work. Rogers is work-ing with a non-profit organization in the community to help promote local events. The group is called “SMART,” which stands for Supporting More Art and Regional Talent. Also in the or-ganization are costumer Jan Cogley from As You Like It Designs, Lesley

Orr, a professor of creative writing at John Abbott College, as well as Al-exandria’s Marian Hemingway and Jennifer Desjardins.

Stop by the Two Beans café on Sundays for a Victorian tea served with antique tea cups, white table-cloths, a full-service of silverware and desserts served on three-tier glass trays. The number is 613-525-1466.

The park is also Alexandria’s gateway to the Glengarry trail system.

The trail system winds itself through the Garry River water-shed and features both woodland and wetland areas.

The Friends of Glengarry Trails Association have provided boards throughout the marshy

area and interpretive signs that highlight points of interest.

Just follow the walkway to the south end, by the soccer fields, and turn down Lochiel Street to reach these trails.

Among the annual events cel-ebrated at Island Park are antique car shows, the Terry Fox Run, the Glengarry Outdoor Cup, the Xterra Triathlon and Canada Day celebrations.

Come forthe birds!

The community of Alfred is home to many species of birds, and is also

a popular spot for birdwatchers. The Township of Alfred and Plan-tagenet and the Prescott-Russell Stewardship Council are devel-oping an eco-tourist project em-phasizing the natural heritage of the Alfred region.

Bring a picnic, a backpack and visit the Alfred Lagoons, which are the wetland habitat of more than 100 species of aquatic birds. Stop by Atocas Bay which is an 1,800-acre parcel of land owned by Ducks Unlimited Canada, home

to black ducks, Green-winged Teals, Northern Shovelers and the Short-Eared Owl.

Bring your binoculars or your camera: It’s a rare chance to see winged wildlife in its natural and undisturbed state.

Bienvenue à Alfred, la capitale de la patate frite… et de la mu-sique country! Même après la construction de l’autoroute 417, le vil-lage d’Alfred est demeuré un arrêt obligé sur la route 17. La réputation d’Alfred ne tient pas qu’à ses nombreux casse-croûte. Avec jusqu’à 2000 spectateurs par soir, son Festival Country-Western est sans con-tredit l’un des plus importants événements de l’été dans l’Est ontarien.

La 23e édition du festival se déroulera du 9 au 12 juillet 2009. Pen-dant quatre jours, une vingtaine d’artistes country-western de l’Est ontarien, du Québec et de l’Acadie viendront divertir la foule sous le grand chapiteau. Renseignements : www.festivalcountry.com/alfred, 613-679-4487.

Tant qu’à passer par Alfred, faites un arrêt dans quelques-unes de ses boutiques, toutes aussi charmantes que discrètes. Goûtez aux Pe-tites Gâteries de Lise Arsenault, au 275, rue St-Philippe.

The Larose forest: Following an idea from agrolo-

gist Ferdinand Larose in the early years of 1920, the Larose Forest was born, and was named after its instigator. The farmers of the area were then abandoning lands that were too poor and prone to soil erosion. The “Bourget desert” was reforested thanks to a collec-tive effort that is nowadays part of Eastern Ontario’s history.

Over 18 million trees have been planted on a 10,540-hec-tares area between the villages of Bourget, Casselman and Limo-ges. The Larose Forest has be-come a jewel of biodiversity in the heart of an area that is essentially agricultural. Within its stupendous conifers and abundant swamps live dozens of species of birds and mammals. People also come from very far to observe its plants

and mushrooms.This forest is host to numerous

outdoor activities, yea- round.It is also the beneficiary of a

forest management plan respect-ful of the environment and care-fully planned in collaboration with the South Nation Conservation.

The Larose Forest is managed by the Planning and Forestry De-partment of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell, with the support of a management commit-tee on which sit municipal elected representatives and members of the community. It overlaps the municipalities of Clarence-Rock-land, The Nation, as well as Rus-sell and Alfred and Plantagenet.

Come discover the Larose Forest, a true natural jewel within Prescott and Russell!

La Forêt Larose a vu le jour au début des années 1920, à l’instigation de l’agronome Fer-dinand Larose. Les agriculteurs de l’endroit abandonnaient alors des terres trop pauvres en proie à l’érosion. Le « désert de Bourget » fut reboisé grâce à un effort col-lectif qui fait aujourd’hui partie de l’histoire de l’Est ontarien.

Plus de 18 millions d’arbres ont été plantés, sur un territoire de 10 540 hectares entre les villages de Bourget, Casselman et Limo-ges. La Forêt Larose est devenue un joyau de biodiversité au cœur d’une région essentiellement ag-ricole. Parmi ses immenses con-ifères et ses nombreux marais vivent des dizaines d’espèces d’oiseaux et de mammifères. On vient de loin également pour y ob-

server ses plantes et ses cham-pignons.

Cette forêt aménagée est l’hôte de nombreuses activités, été comme hiver.

Elle fait aussi l’objet d’une gestion sylvicole respectueuse de l’environnement et soigneuse-ment planifiée en collaboration avec la Conservation de la Nation Sud.

La Forêt Larose est gérée par le Département d’Urbanisme et Foresterie des Comtés unis de Prescott et Russell, avec l’appui d’un comité de gestion auquel siègent des élus municipaux et des membres de la communauté. Elle chevauche à la fois les mu-nicipalités de Clarence-Rockland, La Nation ainsi qu’Alfred, Planta-genet et Russell.

Located at the end of a winding road in Brownsburg-Chatham is the Holy Monastery of Virgin Mary, a Greek Orthodox monastery that was founded in 1993. The only Greek Orthodox monastery in Quebec, the Benit flock of sisters represent a flourishing centre of multilingual and multi-cultural sisters

Artisanal cheese, apples, jams, herbal teas, and more at secluded monastery

who maintain their order within a beautiful stone lodge surrounded by rolling fields, organic vegetable and flower beds and a bubbling creek.

Visitors are warmly received at the monastery every day between 9 a.m and 6 p.m. pm where they can picnic with their families by the water, escape the fast pace of the city or seek the counsel of Mother Superior Thekla.

As part of a non-profit organization, the 23 sisters help to support their monastery by producing a wide range of products that they sell in their bou-tique and at markets throughout the region. The sisters are renowned for their wide array of artisanal cheeses which are produced on site. Certified Organic, the sisters transform nearly 1,500 litres of goat and sheep milk into cheese each week. The most popular cheese is the authentic Greek feta which is the perfect accompaniment to the apples, jams, herbal and medicinal teas, honey and yogurt that are all grown and packaged at the monastery. This year, the sisters will be expanding their vineyard to include wine on their list of accomplishments.

In addition to food the sisters also create beautiful quilts and blankets, embroider custom vestments, and melt their own beeswax candles from honey produced by their hives.

The sisters open their home to visitors each day and en-courage individuals, families and groups to come and discover their peaceful retreat. For information, call 450-533-4313 or 450-533-1170.

What is the greatest American car ever made? Surely the Ford Mustang must feature prominently on anyone’s list — the car has been Ford’s best-known model

since 1964 and has seen five generations of changing designs. On May 23 in Casselman, fans of the Mustang will gather for the Mustang Poker Run.

The fundraising drive will cover the Eastern Ontario region for a distance of nearly 250 kilometres. Participants must stop at each of the five stations and pick up a card.

This year’s event will raise funds for Breast Cancer research. All drivers must have a Mustang to participate. For more information visit www.mustangrun.ca

Today a lot of people rely on GPS to get around — but why not test your innate navigational skills by finding your way throuigh a corn maze at McMaze ?

In 2001, Sandy McDonald started McMaze as a 12-year-old.

Today, McMaze - run by Sandy and his parents Valerie and Stephen and siblings An-thony and Kefhiais - is a popular destination attracting thousands

of visitors. The farm offers five different

mazes to test the skills; the Corn Maze; the tall grass Haunted Night Maze; the Haze Maze - challeng-ing visitors to find their way in an artificial fog; the Ice Storm Post Maze using bent cedar from the storm of ‘98, and the Door Maze, made of 52 inter-connected doors and hallways.

“Some doors are closed, some

are locked and you have to find your way around. It’s not easy!” says Valerie with a laugh.

This year McMaze is adopt-ing the 2010 Vancouver Olympics as its theme. Visitors will be able to use educational sports cards to help them find their way so a knowledge of sport will be a big plus.

The farm also hosts a farm activity daycamp during the last 2

weeks of July and first 2 weeks of August.

There are also pig races where you can watch real hogs (the four-legged kind) race around a track.The farm is located in St.Andrews, about 20 minutes from Cornwall.

Visit the McMaze corn farm website for more details at http://www.mcmaze.ca/.

South Glengarry historyGreen Valley is located in the

Township of South Glengarry, which was officially founded by the United Empire Loyalists.

Later, waves of immigra-tion brought a mix of Highland Scots, Lowland Scots, French Canadians and, more recently, Montréalers. The area had long

been known as “the Lake” or “Sunken Townships”, because the officialdom considered the land too swampy to be habit-able.

However, land Surveyor Lieutenant Walter Sutherland and his men found the St. Law-rence waterfront to their liking

and settled here anyway. By October of 1784, a report

of Disbanded Troops and Loy-alists stated that the Township had 36 men, 15 women and 39 children. According to historian Ewan Ross the settlers “...did not belong to the 1st Battalion King’s Royal Regiment of N.Y., but appear to have come in its wake expecting to be granted land along with them.”

One of these pioneers was William Falkner (Faulkner), who is believed to have built Lan-caster Township’s first house, located in present-day South Lancaster.

The settlement was named Faulkner, in his honour, until 1789.

In 1795 the land had still

not been fully surveyed, but the process was accelerated by the arrival of the Rev. Alexander Macdonell family from Knoydart, Scotland.

A list of the area’s first resi-dents- the MacMillans, McDon-alds, Macdonells, McLennans, MacDougalds, and the MacKays - gives evidence of the area’s strong Scottish roots.

Historically known as the Gateway to Glengarry and On-tario, the Raisin River at Lan-caster provided a direct canoe route to the heart of Loyalist Ontario - Williamstown, named in honour of Loyalist leader Sir John Johnson’s father.

Le village de Grenville et son canal historique

23 ~ Grenville, QC

Le village de Grenville est le site d’un de trois canaux construits le long de la Rivière des Outaouais qui ont joué un rôle important au cours du dévelop-pement économique du Canada.

Construit il y a plus de 175 ans par les ingénieurs de l’armée britannique,

le système – qui comprend des écluses et des canaux à Chute-à-Blondeau et à Carillon ainsi qu’à Grenville – fut tant une réponse aux besoins de l’industrie du bois de la région qu’à la menace d’une invasion américaine.

Les attaques constantes le long du St-Laurent par les Américains pendant la guerre de 1812 ont démontré que les lignes de communication entre King-ston et Montréal, les deux positions militaires principales du Haut- et du Bas-Canada, pouvaient être facilement coupées. Ceci a obligé le gouvernement Canadien à construire un système efficace de canaux afin d’offrir une route alternative en cas de guerre avec les Américains.

Ottawa’s Rideau Canal is not the only famous canal in Eastern Ontario.

The village of Grenville is the site of one of three canals built along the Ottawa River which would play an im-portant role in the economic develop-ment of Canada.

Constructed over 175 years ago by engineers of the British army, the system – which included locks and canals at Chute-à-Blondeau and Carillon as well as Grenville – was as much a response to the needs of the region’s lumber industry as it was to the threat of an American invasion.

Attempts to cross the St. Law-rence by the Americans during the war of 1812 obliged the government to order an effective canal system to be built on the Ottawa River. Con-stant attacks along the St. Lawrence showed that communication lines be-tween Kingston and Montreal, the two main military positions of Upper and Lower Canada, could easily be sev-ered. The Ottawa River Canal and the Rideau Canal were thus designed to offer an alternative route in the event of war with the Americans.

Happy 150th, Hawkesbury!It will be a year full of activities as Hawkesbury celebrates its 150th an-

niversary in 2009. The riverside community offers plenty to see and do. Whether your interests are in camping, cycling, concerts or good food,

you are sure to find something you like in bilingual Hawkesbury.Why not take a long walk over the Ottawa River via the Long Sault

bridge, where the Olympic Torch will be carried from Quebec into Ontario in 2009? You can also rent a giant kite, a kayak or a canoe at the foot of the bridge in Hawkesbury.

The town boasts an unusually high number of restaurants per capita, but there are parks and easy access to camp grounds and RV stations for those who prefer to dine in their motorhomes.

MayOn May 1 to 3, more than 500 scouts will celebrate their “Camporee” in

Hawkesbury and plant 500 trees throughout the town to commemorate the town’s 150th.

The Camporee will finish with a big gathering and concert at the Robert Hartley Sports Complex.

An auto show will also be held on May 16 at Hotte Ford Automoabiles and the event is a big draw every year for Hawkesbury. Expect rows of clas-sic cars glistening in the sun along the downtown streets.

JunePlayers of Pétanque — a game similar to croquet and horseshoes where

metal balls are thrown for precision — will participate in a tournament lasting throughout the entire month of June.

The tournament happens on Chenail Island and will begin on June 6, with seniors’ games being held on June 16 and another game taking place on Canada Day. A nature walk will be held on June 7, in collaboration with staff from the Hawkesbury and District Hospital, starting at the Place des Pionniers.

On Saint-Jean Baptiste Day, June 21, Hawkesbury will host a concert and fireworks at Confederation Park with a show performed by members of the region’s Franco-Ontarian mega show, L’Écho d’un Peuple.

An exhibit about Hawkesbury’s lumber mills will open at L’Orignal’s his-toric jail on June 23.

July Hawkesbury’s Canada Day celebrations will be held at Confedera-

tion Park. There will also be more fun at Confederation Park and Place des Pionniers from July 3 to 5 to mark the 150th anniversary. » 29

Teddy bears preserve memories Boutique Levaque Furs on

Main Street in Hawkesbury re-stores fur coats and creates memories one stitch at a time.

In 1945, Raoul Levaque was a young apprentice working in the fur business in Montreal.

With a small loan from his em-ployer, a used sewing machine and a bicycle he opened his own fur mercantile and restoration shop in Hawkesbury, where he raised eight children alongside his wife, Marie-Claude.

Today, fur specialist Jean-Yves Levaque carries on the skills

and traditions taught to him by his father.

Specializing in the storage, re-pair and recycling of fur coats, Le-vaque remakes old furs into most anything you can hold or wear.

Furs that are no longer suited to being remodeled as coats are transformed into hats, scarves, vests, or any other desired item.

“You don’t throw away your coat and the memories it brings you. No one wants to throw away mom’s or grandma’s coat. You might as well do something to preserve the memory as well as

the coat. It is my job to maintain the sentimental value and make the fur beautiful again” says Le-vaque.

A disappearing trade, fur re-cycling is an age-old tradition that Levaque says represents an in-herent respect for the nature and environment that created it.

Having been in business so long ensures that he has accu-mulated a large collection of fur pieces to match and repair virtu-ally any coat.

Completely biodegradable and organic, furs can be worn for 10-

15 years when they are properly maintained and restoring them can double their life span to near-ly 30 years of enjoyment.

Boutique Levaque Furs oper-ates a large fur vault where they store up to 5,000 coats each sum-mer to protect the material from the ravages of heat and humidity.

Families looking to preserve their memories for future gen-erations can have grandmother’s coat refashioned into soft and precious heritage teddy bears that grandchildren will hold close to their hearts.

Kayaking on the

Ottawa RiverThe Town of Hawkesbury is

home to roughly 10,000 French and English-speaking residents on the south shore of the Ottawa River, almost exactly midway be-tween Ottawa and Montreal. A quaint area with a charming Main Street, this year the town is cele-brating its 150th anniversary. Still slightly under the radar, Hawkes-bury offers kayakers from nearby cities a quiet water route less than an hour’s drive away.

The Ottawa River, which flows quickly around the interprovin-cial Long-Sault Bridge and more calmly around public beaches on the Quebec side, is home to un-developed islands and interesting wildlife, such as large turtles and massive muskellunge (the biggest member of the pike family). This waterway also offers access to the Rouge River which flows rapidly down the scenic Laurentian Moun-tains to the north. Photographers will want to bring their cameras!

Kayak rentals are available from local supplier Vent-en-fete, whose knowledgeable owner Jean-François Levaque is usually on hand to answer all your water-sport questions. Wider kayaks that offer a platform for fishing are avail-

able, as well as specialized crafts with cargo space to carry camping gear—in case you feel like spend-ing a night on one of the islands. Here, you will also find bikes for cycling the 8 km route back along Route des Outaouais.

Vent-en-fete is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day. Call ahead for kayak availability.

Getting there: From Ottawa, head east on Highway 417. At the split take the old Highway 17 to-ward Hawkesbury. Exit at Highway 34 and turn right at the lights onto McGill. Go through the lights at Main Street and around the curve you’ll see a blue and white light-house at 87 John Street.

Kayak rentals cost $10 per hour, $25 per day.

Hawkesbury landmark celebrates 200 years A landmark in Hawkesbury is

marking 200 years of existance in 2009.

The Maison de l’Île was built in 1810 and served mostly as an ad-ministrative office for the Hamilton brothers’ sawmill.

Today the Maison de l’Île is

the only remaining building on the Chenail Island. It houses the Hawkesbury Tourism Center, the offices of the Chamber of Com-merce, the Business Investment Association and the Hawkesbury Commercial and Touristic Devel-opment Corporation.

According to a recent press re-lease, the Commercial and Tour-istic Development Corporation is looking for people with any histor-ic memorabilia relating to the site, or ideas for hosting a celebration during the summer.

“We are putting a call out for

enthusiastic and energetic mem-bers to help relive the history of the Chenail. We are also seeking photographic documents and ob-jects related to this time period,” said a press release.

Lachute fair one of oldest in CanadaThe Lachute Fair is one of the

oldest continuous fairs in Canada.The first Argenteuil County Fair

was held in St. Andrews East in 1826.

In its first 50 years, the fair ro-tated among the several towns, but by 1877, with Lachute outpacing the older towns on the Ottawa River, the fair was permanently moved to its present location (more or less) at Ay-ersville, on the outskirts of Lachute.

The fair became known as the “Lachute Spring Fair.”

Though the fairs once held in the “large cities” are a thing of the past, the Lachute Fair continues even

though the ruling principles have been altered over time to adapt to changing conditions.

The Exhibition Grounds at La-chute were presented to the Agri-cultural Society in 1877 when Henry Hammond made a donation of 15 acres of land to the annual show.

The Lachute Fair has featured many distinguished opening speak-ers, many politically prominent in their time.

From its original one-day show, the Lachute Spring Fair has grown to be one of Canada’s leading agri-cultural expositions.

The popular Saturday night dem-

olition derby and the tractor pull and midway have become traditions.

One of the most interesting and consistent aspects of the Lachute Fair has been the Handicraft Ex-

hibit, which features various kinds of home-related skills, like quilting, knit-ting, sewing and cooking. This year’s Lachute Fair takes place from July 9 to 12.

En plus des établissements de santé et d’enseignement auxquels les citoyens sont en droit de s’attendre, elle compte une diversité de com-merces et de parcs industriels, des groupes communautaires et des loi-sirs variés.

Lachute. On la choisit comme ville à vivre, naturellement.

Gare patrimoniale de LachuteLa valeur patrimoniale de la

gare de Lachute repose sur son intérêt architectural. L’édifice est érigé d’après les plans élaborés en 1927 pour la gare de Shawini-gan par le bureau de l’ingénieur en chef de la compagnie Cana-dien Pacifique (CP), à Montréal. La gare de Lachute, construite en 1929 et agrandie en 1940, présente un plan rectangulaire, à un étage, surmonté d’un toit à croupes débordant, comme la plupart des gares construites à ce-tte époque. Ce modèle de gare se distingue de la majorité des gares construites au tournant du siècle par ses dimensions imposantes et la qualité des matériaux employés, comme la pierre brute du sou-bassement, le parement de brique rouge et la pierre de taille utilisée à des fins décoratives. Le volume imposant et les matériaux con-fèrent à ce modèle un caractère prestigieux qui incite le Canadien National à adapter ces plans pour la construction de deux gares, à

Shawinigan et à Jonquière. La valeur patrimoniale de la

gare de Lachute repose également sur son intérêt historique. L’édifice témoigne de l’importance » 45

«44de fer dans le développement

économique et démographique de la municipalité. En 1870, le projet de relier Québec et Ottawa par le chemin de fer est lancé. En 1876, la voie ferrée atteint Lachute.

Le CP fait construire une nouvelle gare en 1929 pour remplacer le premier édifice érigé en 1887.

La gare et le chemin de fer ont joué un rôle crucial dans le développement et la prospérité économique de Lachute.

La gare est fermée au transport ferroviaire en 1981. En 1992, elle est désignée gare ferroviaire patrimoniale par le gouvernement du Canada. En 1998, l’édifice est acquis par la ville de

Lachute afin d’assurer sa protection. La MRC d’Argenteuil devient propriétaire de la gare en avril 2007. Elle prévoit y effectuer d’importants travaux de res-tauration et de rénovation. Par la suite, le Centre local de développement et le Bureau d’accueil touristique d’Argenteuil y seront relocalisés, donnant ainsi à la gare une vocation publique et institution-nelle qui permettra à toute la population d’ici et d’ailleurs d’en admirer la valeur patrimoniale. La gare de Lachute, située en bordure de la voie publique, au coeur du quartier commercial de la ville de La-chute, a été citée monument historique en 2007 en vertu de la Loi sur les biens culturels du Québec.

Notions of fair punishment and justice have changed much in 100 years.

In L’Orignal, you can visit the historic jail, which reminds visitors of a harsher time when incarceration meant iron bars, stone walls and a hangman’s noose.

The jail was opened in 1816 and was it Canada’s oldest functional jail when it was closed in 1998.

Before Canada abolished the death penalty, the jail was the site of five hangings and at least one whip-ping; in the case of a thief who took a bag of flour.

The Glengarry Highland Games are estimated to be the biggest highland game event in the world, held yearly in Maxville since 1948.

Tens of thousands of visitors are drawn to Maxville each year to witness music, dance, sport fid-dling, pageantry and much tradi-tion.

The Highland Games are also host to the North American Pipe Band Championships - a compe-tition featuring, on average, more than 60 pipe bands marching in

time to the stirring sound of bag pipes and drums.

Meanwhile, more than 200 highland dancers compete in dance competitions while the strongest men and women duke it out by tossing cabers and 50-pound hammers around the in-field. And not to mention non-pipe band music, skydivers, food and fireworks. There is also, of course, the beer tent.

The 2009 games take place on Friday, July 31 and Saturday, Au-gust 1 in Maxville.

A professional guide will drive you to the viewing site where, in the safety of a fully enclosed, insect free observation platform 7 feet above the ground, you will have the opportunity to glimpse bears. The guide will inform you about these exceptional animals and explain the impor-tance of respecting their life in their natural habitat.

If you worship fine foods and like to praise the creations of a chef, there is a church for you in Moose Creek.

You will no longer find a pastor at the red brick former Knox United Church in the middle of this Eastern Ontario village. The man welcom-ing you at the door is named Paul Mayer.

But don’t be mislead by his for-mal attire: he prefers to cater to your stomach rather than to your soul.

Mayer likes to personally greet every single client walking into Knox Fine Dining, the restaurant he

founded with partner and chef Chris-tian Barque and his brother, Michael Mayer.

It took two years to renovate the church and decorate it with style that looks as if it came straight from a de-signer. The original floors, windows and some of the pews were kept. Ceilings and walls were made new and fancy lighting was added.

The clientele may sit in the wood-en pews or on comfortable leather chairs. On Saturday evenings, a three-man jazz band comes in from Ottawa. Every other Friday night, an-other band comes from Cornwall.

Patrons enjoy fine meals, most of them ranging from $20 to $30.

Some of the produce may come form Avonmore Berry Farm. The wild game is from Bearbook Farm, near Navan. “We try to buy locally as much as we can,” Mayer says.

The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, Wednesday through Saturday. The lunchtime menu is more affordable, but nonetheless gourmet.

Most evening patrons make reservations. “We are booked solid every weekend,” Mayer warns.

Knox Fine Dining is doing far

better than Mayer ever dreamed it would. “It’s beyond my expecta-tions.”

Success hasn’t changed a bit of Mayer’s relaxed attitude - at lunch-time, he may wear a colourful Ha-waiian shirt. He dresses up more formally in the evening,

When the last patrons leave, Mayer goes down through the kitch-en and enters the last room he and his brother have kept for themselves in the church that was once their home: a drums and guitar-packed music studio.

The Lost Villages MuseumHave you ever heard of the lost

villages? Today their names have

largely been forgotten. Their stories are also a distant memory: Mille Roches, Mouli-nette, Wales, Dickinson’s Land-ing, Farran’s Point, Aultsville; the hamlets of Maple Grove, Santa Cruz and Woodlands; the farm-ing community of Sheik’s/Sheek’s Island.

These villages were not wiped out by a tornado or earthquake, they were abandoned with Gov-ernment approval for the sake of the St. Lawrence Seaway and In-

ternational Hydro Electric project.Morrisburg’s Lost Villages mu-

seum tells this story in vivid detail. It is a story of progress, of

changing times and of history — because once a town is aban-doned, what is left but the memory of those who lived there?

The museum is open daily from June to September. For more in-formation visit www.lostvillages.ca

You can also arrange a bus tour by calling (613)534-2197.

Admission to the museum site is free but donations are appreci-ated.

To walk through Upper Canada village is to walk through 19th-cen-tury life; a simpler and more industri-ous time when homes were heated by wood fires and horses were the

preferred means of transport. The historical village has been

open to the public since 1961 and recreates every detail of 19th-cen-tury life.

Upper Canada Village: One of Canada’s best-known attractions offers a look at 19th-century life, crafts, fashions and agriculture.

The village has become one of Canada’s most beloved attractions.

Spend time in the town square, walk on dirt roads lined by flow-er gardens and historic houses. See how a newspaper came togeth-er in the old days, or visit manors fur-nished with authentic period clothing and furniture.

Talk to a blacksmith, a dress-maker, a school teacher or a shop-keeper. Visit the sawmill; Ask ques-tions, look around.

You’ll feel as though you have

stepped into a novel or a film about the past.

It’s no wonder Upper Canada Vil-lage has become one of Canada’s most popular destinations for school field trips!

Watch for the Medieval Festival which takes place June 11 to 14.

68 ~ Nation Municipality, ON

La municipalité de La Nation, du nom de la rivière qui la serpente, ex-iste depuis le 1er janvier 1998 et est issue du regroupement de quatre cantons : Cambridge, Plantagenet Sud, Calédonia et le village de St-Isi-dore. Elle est la municipalité la plus vaste des Comtés unis de Prescott et Russell et la seule qui chevauche ces deux comtés.

La municipalité a un secteur agroalimentaire bien développé et le paysage en témoigne par les nom-breuses fermes. La Nation compte plusieurs petites communautés où il fait bon vivre : Limoges, Cambridge Forest Estates, Forest Park, St-Al-

bert, St-Isidore, Fournier, St-Bernar-din, Riceville, Ste-Rose, Caledonia Springs, McAlpine, Routhier, Etty-ville, Pendleton, Lemieux, Westmin-ster, Séguinbourg et l’agglomération autour de Casselman.

La Nation sera bientôt l’hôte de Calypso, le plus grand parc aqua-tique au Canada, qui est en con-struction près de Limoges.

Le fromage St-Albert, reconnu internationalement, est une source de fierté régionale.

Canada’s largest waterpark is coming to The Nation Municipality in Eastern Ontario and develop-ment planner Sylvain Lauzon said, “It’s going to feel just as if you were on a beach in the Caribbean.”

The park’s wave pool looks pretty muddy right now — and the park is not yet open to visi-tors — but by next year there will be a 10,000-square-foot concrete pool, one of the biggest in North America.

The beach-like areas and the patches of grass are all facing southwest in order for visitors to enjoy direct sunlight for the longest

part of the day, Lauzon explained.Aside from the acre-size- wave

pool, visitors will enjoy soaking in an artificial river with its own cur-rent.

Floating along this river will also be a feast for the eyes, Lau-zon said. All throughout the park, themes will be developed to make Calypso no less of a theme park than Disneyland.

“This will be an international-class attraction park,” Lauzon said.

According to her website, Rita Iriarte paints life big, bold and beau-tiful. Her works do not discreetly sneak up on the viewer, they draw you closer to discover hidden shadings of meaning. Rita’s large acrylics and multimedia paintings draw attention to themselves with an immediacy that is almost audi-ble. Brilliant colours, fierce brush strokes, present subjects ranging from the tumult of a Venezuelan

street festival to the exotic allure of tropical birds of the compelling rhythm of a jazz band.

Iriarte’s works are on display at her gallery in Pointe-Fortune at 275 Interprovinciale, just off High-way 40/Highway 417.

Her gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Riceville has marked the end of summer with its an-nual fair for the past 141 years. This year’s fair happens August 28 to 30 in its usual spot beside Coun-try Road 16.

While the surrounding country-side has changed and modernized — and people no longer travel on horseback to get there — many of the fair’s activities have remained unchanged.

On Friday, August 28, there will be a showcase of prize-winning floral arrangements as well as the winners of a vegetables, crafts and

cooking contest. There will also be an antique tractor pull and music.

Saturday, August 29 will see the Prescott County 4-H Dairy Achieve-ment day, where young people will showcase prize calves for a dairy show. There will also be a Western and English Horse Show, with a va-riety of riding and pageant events.

“The western style is like the cowboys, where they wear the chaps and cowboy hats and jeans. In the English riding, they wear the white shirts, helmets and black jackets,” said Catherine Clemens, president of the Riceville Agricul-

See 142 years of history in Ricevilletural Society.

Margaret Scott, director of the Riceville Fair, said there will be an-tique farm machinery on display, as well as activities for children such as games as a bounce castle.

On Sunday, August 30, there will be a heavy and light horse show, a cattle show, music and a horseshoe

throwing tournament contest. “We always have a great time,

and we would ask everyone to come out and have some fun,” said Clemens.

For more information, call 613-524-4009 or 524-2729 after 6 p.m.

Also watch for harness races on July 5.

The Western Horse Show is a popular event at the Riceville Fair.

151st Russell FairThis year, the Russell Agricultural Society commemorates 151

years of tradition as it celebrates its proud past and looks ahead to a promising future. This year’s event takes place from September 10 to 13, 2009 and includes an incredible array of events, from a demolition derby and livestock shows to tractor pulls, teen farmer competitions and loads of entertainment.

With a century and a half of tradition, the Russell Fair still remains true to its mission of “promoting agriculture and the rural lifestyle”.

While the Fair has evolved over the years to match changing trends in Canadian society, this annual gathering remains a highlight every fall for friends, families and neighbouring communities.

Thanks to the dedicated efforts of its many volunteers and the ongo-ing support of our sponsors, the annual Russell Fair continues a proud tradition.

The St-Isidore Duck and Feather Festival happens June 12 and 13 at the Recreation Centre at 20 Arena Street. Singer Daniel Turand comedian Cathy Gauthier will perform. For more information, call 613-524-3333 or 613-524-3463. The duck race happens Saturday.

Saint-André-d’Argenteuil, which includes the former villages of St. An-drews East (Saint- André-Est) and Carillon and the parish of Saint-André-d’Argenteuil, is a nice place to spend a weekend.

There is a lot of historic architecture in the area. It is also such a lovely set-ting that visitors should have no trouble finding sights to see.

The village of St. Andrews East (Saint-André-Est) is one of the oldest in the Ottawa Valley, dating to about 1800.

The village was founded by Scottish immigrants, who named it after the patron saint of Scotland. The oldest homes in the area recall this heritage, as well as the influences of later New England and French Canadian settlers.

One of the oldest buildings in St. Andrews East is the gristmill built by Patrick Murray in 1802.

French interpretive plaques have been installed by the municipality at many local sites, including the Anglican Church, built in 1819; Mac Donnell House, built in 1830, and others. One plaque describes the lives of two local notables, Sir John Abbott and his cousin, pioneering woman doctor, Maude Abbott. The Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada has erected a monument commemorating Canada’s first paper mill, built in St. Andrews East in 1805.

The North River passes right through the village, and the local riverside park is a nice place to stop for a picnic.

Not far up the road is the village of Carillon, located on the Ottawa River.Carillon is also charming and rich in history, and a number of sites are marked by interpretive plaques. The old military barracks, dating to 1836 are a major attraction and are now home to the Argenteuil County Museum.

With a population of just over 500 French-speaking inhabitants, Ste-Anne-de-Prescott is the most Easterly village in Ontario and is an active place where the locals organize a variety of recreation and community events.

The annual Antique Day, held this year on June 8, is a good example.

This is an event where you will see live demonstrations of old farm equipment and maybe even witness the art of butter making – starting with hand milking a cow in the parking lot.

Another unique event is Ste-Anne’s Pilgrimage – the only religious pilgrimage dedicated to Saint Anne in Ontario. It is an inter-cultural experi-

It’s the best room in town if you’re looking for a good view! Visit the 56-foot-high Higginson Tower, located at 5843 Highway 34 and climb the 72 steps to the top to take in a terrific view for miles around. The tower will be open to visi-

tors from mid-May to the end of August following completion of restoration work, giving new life to one of the town’s land-marks.

The tower, built around 1825 by Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Higginson,

Take in the best view began life as a wind-powered grist mill. But it is thought that insufficient wind power led to the abandonment of the grist mill early on. For several years, the tower sat empty. But then Thomas Higginson’s son, William, decided to dismantle the windmill, and added a 30-foot wooden tower extension to the existing stone tower to create an astronomical observatory. A volunteer committee raised funds to restore the tower to this circa-1910 observatory tower use.

Bring a picnic, listen to the interpretive audio program and see exhibits inside the tower.

The Higginson Tower is just a few steps away from Arbor Gallery, the original home of William Higginson. This historic building is now home to Arbor Gallery, open Thursday to Sun-day, from noon to 5 p.m., featuring the works of local artists. The Higginson Tower and Arbor Gallery are both located within easy walking distance of Main Street. Just walk past the mural on Home Avenue and watch for the signs.

Shoppers from Vankleek Hill now have a chance to easily pro-mote their town after the release of a new environmentally friendly, re-useable bag designed with lo-cal images.

The bag, designed by Review publisher Louise Sproule using recent images from the newspa-per’s archives, is made of non-woven polypropylene material, which is recyclable but not bio-degradable. Non-woven bags are frequently used as an alternative to the plastic bags obtained at many grocery stores.

Pottery Lane Imports owner Josee Tom commissioned the bag and produced it as a way to increase the number of people using re-usable bags and to pro-mote Vankleek Hill.

She says some people feel uncomfortable taking bags with one store’s logo into a competi-tor’s store.

“This is a bag you can use in any store in town and you can go outside the community and it shows you’re proud to be part of your community.”

(From previous page.)The bag is black with six bright, colour images of homes in town,

with Vankleek Hill, Ontario, Canada written across the middle. It is dou-ble-sided. Sproule described the photos she chose as ones she’d taken over the years that were some of her favourites.

“They highlight the red brick in Vankleek Hill and the architecture, which has always been a favourite of mine,” she said.

Tom said she is thinking about creating other products bearing the name Vankleek Hill to continue the trend established by the new bag. She said a stainless-steel water bottle, which would replace re-usable plastic bottles, could be released.

Father and son, Tim and Phil Beauchesne invite you to sample one of Eastern Ontario’s finest all-natural beers.

Pay a visit to Vankleek Hill and raise a glass to one of Eastern On-tario’s most sucessful microbreweries.

Beau’s All-Natural Breweing Company is getting ready to double its production this year, and is being served in more and more fine restau-rants and pubs across Ottawa and Eastern Ontario.

The brewery offers an educational tour, which shows how hops, bar-ley and local springwater become its signature product.

Celtic Hall of Fame recognizes region’s performers

Glengarry County has a wealth of Celtic heritage. One thing lack-ing, however, has been a form of recognition for those talented indi-viduals who make up Glengarry’s rich Celtic culture.

Recently, this void has been filled by the formation of the Glen-garry Celtic Music Hall of Fame.

The organization was founded on June 10, 2003 in Alexandria, Ontario.

The Glengarry Celtic Music Hall of Fame is located in Wil-liamstown, Ontario at 19687 Wil-liam Street. It is open from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. from Tuesday to Sunday in July and August. From September to June, it is open by

appointment.For more information,

call 613-347-9996 or email [email protected].

The museum’s creation was the culmination of many meetings of a small group of individuals in-terested in officially recognizing contributions to the continuance of Celtic music heritage in the county of Glengarry, Ontario.

After its initial formation, the public was asked to nominate performers, promoters, groups and/or individuals who ought to be inducted into the Glengarry Celtic Music Hall of Fame (GC-MHF). Over forty nominees were received by the deadline, and

after many meetings and consul-tations, the list was reduced to a more workable twenty-eight.

At a general meeting, the GC-MHF selected the first Inductees: The Glengarry Old Time Fid-dlers, Rae MacCulloch, Sylvester MacDonald, John T. MacKen-zie, Rev. John McPhail, Donald Joseph MacPhee, Mary Frances MacPhee, Rob Taylor, Kelli, Rene & Sherrill Trottier.

On Friday, May 28th, 2004, the GCMHF held its first formal in-duction dinner at the Bonnie Glen Pavilion in Alexandria to honour these inductees.

The evening has become an annual affair that recognizes the

talented performers and promot-ers inducted each year.

In addition to the recognition of the inductees, the Hall of Fame is also collecting memorabilia rel-evant to the music and culture of the area. This archival material is located at the old town hall in Wil-liamstown, Ontario.

This year’s induction dinner takes place on Friday, May 22 at the Bonnie Glen Pavilion.

reational Trail stretches 72 kilo-metres East to West across the Counties. Five pavilions located in St-Eugène, Vankleek Hill, Plan-tagenet, Bourget and Hammond offer parking, toilets and an infor-mation kiosk. Access to the trail is free. The Recreational Trail is managed by Prescott and Rus-sell Economic Development and Tourism.
