Record StaffMOREWOOD – The event that was inspired by

Ottawa's upcoming event, Canada’s Table, a 1,000person open-air table dining experience on WellingtonStreet to celebrate Canada 150, was just as exciting lastweek on Wed., July 5, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

North Dundas’ first Meet Me on Main Street inMorewood was a great success to celebrate Canada 150,with a welcoming giant Canadian flag draped in front ofthe monument on Main St. that provided a decorativebackdrop to the main stage. Local residents (some ofwhom had moved away and returned for the evening)joined other friends and neighbours to enjoy Canadian-themed food such as poutine, beef on a bun and ottertails, from Winchelsea Events of Winchester and SnackShack of Chesterville. So popular were the eats that afew patrons had to wait for more food to be brought in,or if they arrived late to settle for just poutine!

The Township of North Dundas Councillors andMayor Eric Duncan, as well as MP Guy Lauzon andMPP Jim McDonell, were on hand to socialize andenjoy the evening as well. The entertainment by localsHillbilly Highway with their down-home country androck music was enjoyed by all, as was the popular cashbar, refreshments, and the convenience of tables set updown the middle of the closed-off streets of Moffat(County Rd. 7) and Main St. (County Rd. 13).

Also on site were Township of North Dundasfirefighters with a booth set up for educational and otheritems for the kids and adults. Kemptville’s SouthgateCommunity Church volunteers and pastors were onhand to help with kids at the giant bouncy structureloaned from their organization. The Church will be soonopening a satellite branch at Winchester’s New HopeChurch (formerly the Weslyan Church) which has giftedthe building to the United Pentecostal Church.

MORRISBURG –Playhouse audiences areadvised to fasten theirseatbelts for the funniestflight of their life, as one ofthe longest runningcomedies opened on theMorrisburg Upper CanadaPlayhouse stage July 6.

Marc Camoletti’s BoeingBoeing was an instantrunaway comic hit when itopened in 1962 at London’sApollo Theatre and playedan incredible seven years inEurope, earning it amention in the GuinnessBook of Records. It hascontinued to enjoyproductions all over theworld ever since and waslater revived in 2009 withan updated new version onLondon’s West End and onBroadway, as well as anAmerican tour tounanimous raves fromaudiences and critics alike.

Upper Canada Playhouseis excited to treat itsaudience to this sure fire hit.As with all great farces,Boeing Boeing is fuelled bythe chaos created when thelead character makes aserious mistake anddesperately tries to correct itby involving everyonearound him in a massiveand hilarious cover-up.

Bernard is a swingingbachelor who haseverything, including a flatin Paris and three gorgeousstewardesses who are allengaged to him. None ofthem know anything abouteach other because theirflights and layovers are ondifferent schedules. That isuntil a speedier Boeing jetthrows Bernardunexpectedly off his plan bylanding all three at his flatat the same time.

Damage control beginsas he enlists the help of hisinnocent friend Robert andwily maid Bertha to keep allthree fiancées from seeingeach other. What follows isa riotous comedy describedby the New York Times as‘nothing but blue skies andmile-high hilarity. A breathof fresh laughing gas’ andJournal News as ‘a cure forwhatever may ail you!’

Playhouse audiencesoften remark that whateverkind of day they’ve had,they can forget the cares ofthe day and leave thetheatre with smiles on theirfaces. It will be impossiblenot to be swept away by thishysterical romp filled withbreak-neck comings andgoings, physical hijinks andthe spectacle of seeingeveryday, ordinary people

doing ridiculous things asthey try to manage a crisisof their own making.

The Playhouse hasassembled a stellar team offamiliar actors and newtalent to execute thephysical and verbal anticsof this hilarious show.Audience favourites BrianYoung, Brenda Quesnel andAnnaMarie Lea all return tolight up the Playhouse stage

with Young playing theunsuspecting friend Robert,Quesnel the crafty andknowing maid, Bertha, andLea playing Gloria, anAmerican Airlinesstewardess. They are joinedby three new faces makingtheir Playhouse debutincluding Gaelan Beatty asBernard, Stephanie Folkinsas Gretchen and SiobhanRichardson as Gabriella-

Record CorrespondentIt is hard to believe it has been 50 years since Canada’s

Confederation was celebrated. I suppose it was a veryexciting year what with Expo 67, Centennial celebrationsand dances, as well as numerous centennial projectsthroughout this county, but to be honest my memories are abit hazy about our country’s Centennial.

Most of us older folks will remember Expo 67, the piedpiper of Canada leading children singing Ca-na-da, storiesof a giant birthday cake on Parliament Hill but my mostvivid memories are of those with personal connections. Irecall visiting Expo 67, riding the monorail, getting lost fora long time in the U.S.S.R. pavilion and never getting toLaRonde, but it was the celebrations locally that come tomind most of all when thinking about Centennial Year.

There are a few Centennial dresses still hanging aroundin closets or perhaps local museums, but in 1967 they wereeverywhere and I think most gals, regardless of their age,had at least one. Mine was a made with cotton materialwith flowers and it wasn’t worn too often, maybe three orfour times with one of them being when my class dancedthe Maypole Dance for some performance or other. It isn’tdifficult for me to see in my mind’s eye a group of younggals dancing around with ribbons in our hands, trying tokeep in step while weaving those ribbons around a poleheld by someone (perhaps who had misbehaved in class) onthe tarmac at Chesterville Public School. I am certain Mrs.Cole must have had quite the time teaching us the intricate

steps of the ancient English folk dance and I am equallycertain we probably tested the limits of her patience duringthose lessons!

While the dress didn’t see much wear, it was a veryimportant personal keepsake of that special year and is nowhoused at the Heritage Centre in Chesterville along withseveral other local Centennial dresses. One of the last timesI saw Mom wearing it was one Hallowe’en night in the1970s when she and Mrs. McNab wore their Centennialdresses as costumes while making sure children were safelytrick or treating on Hallowe’en. I don’t know where it isnow, but I sure wished it was hanging in my closet so Icould wear it during the Canada 150 celebrations!

There was of course a multitude of Centennial projectsin local municipalities. In Chesterville, the pool was onesuch a project and since then has been providing a fewgenerations with seasonal enjoyment. I recall takingswimming lessons there, enjoying splashing around in theshallow end and seeing teenaged neighbours working aslifeguards. After awhile I could swim well enough to beallowed in the deep end and eventually got brave enough tojump off the diving board but as for doing a cannonball –well it was fun watching people making a big splash – butyou wouldn’t catch me doing that!

There are many celebrations planned throughout SDG tomark the sesquicentennial of Canada as a country, but it isalso important to remember how 150 years ago theprovinces of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and NewBrunswick were created. My humming of Ca-na-da isoccasionally replaced by singing Give Us A Place to Standbecause not only am I a proud Canadian – I am also a proudOntarian living where this province got its start – SDG!

Ontario-Canadian proud

As usual, Navan’s Wyatt McWilliams doesn’t want anycredit for his latest successful agriculture-based event, acommunity boosting parade.

Local farmer McWilliams was the chief organizer ofParade Through Time, a Canada 150 celebration whichtook place in and around the rural Ottawa hamlet June 17.

Some of his other projects include Hay West and HayEast, as well as Food Aid Day every June at Ottawa City Hall.

McWilliams described the parade as a “movingevolution” of farm equipment and other vehicles over thepast century and a half. Adding to the festivities were astreet dance and barbecue primarily pulled together bygeneral store owner John Bradley. Admission to all of itwas free.

With 90 entries most of which were tractors and otherfarm equipment, the parade took about an hour to pass anygiven point. The viewing stand was manned by retiredauctioneer Carson Hill and broadcaster Rob Snow.

Several of the entries were horse-drawn, including thesingle team-drawn wagon that 22 years ago was the centrepiece of Navan’s famous 50-horse hitch. Once again, thedriver was Wyatt’s father Willard McWilliams.

For the record, organizers decided to video the paradefrom 150 feet up using technology that’s becomecommonplace in farm field scouting… a drone.

They hired Mathieu Bruyere of Up N’ Above aerialcinematography and his DJIPhantom 2 drone; whileBruyere has handled plentyof field surveys, weddingsand random events, dartingover a parade in town forthe first time brought aparticular piloting approach.McWilliams was quick tohand off credit to his 20-member organizingcommittee. However,member Phil Muggletonemphasized it wasMcWilliams who had the“clear vision” needed topull off the project… ironic,in a way, when you considerthat he’s gradually losinghis eyesight to a

degenerative disease.“I’ve heard many very

positive comments aboutthe parade ranging from thevariety of the entries to howwell organized it was,”Muggleton stated. “Wyatt,you are an inspiration and a role model.”

One large wrench was tossed into the spokes of ParadeThrough Time… but organizers didn’t allow it to grind to a halt.

A few days earlier, they learned that their honouraryparade marshal Paddy Pryle passed away suddenly on routeto Navan, Ont., from Navan, Ireland. Pryle died in St.John’s where he had stopped for a short visit.

The two communities were twinned in 2012 and Pryle, a53-year-old driving instructor and father of four children,had made several trips to the Ontario Navan, including tothe annual fair with 40 of his countrymen and women.Several local Navan residents have reciprocated.

“We turned the street dance at the fairgrounds into anIrish wake and raised a toast to Paddy,” McWilliams said.

Glen Edwards, who helped coordinate the agriculturalentries, said interest in the event continued to grow andfarmers enquired up to the last minute if they could bringtheir tractors and other machines.

“In those cases, we were successful in getting someitems we didn’t already have in the parade,” said Edwards,a John Deere collector who entered several green pieces.

With plans to visit Navan, Ireland, for his upcoming25th wedding anniversary, McWilliams said the main pointof the parade was to celebrate community spirit, Canadianspirit, and agricultural spirit over the past 150 years.

Katherin Speck explainedthe theme was developed asthey, “wanted something lesscomplicated and costly [thanthe Breakfast on the Farm]but still exciting.” Partneringwith Avonmore Berry Farmmeant visitors had theopportunity to not justexperience where their dairyproducts come from but alsolocal produce.

The event is all abouteducation and connectingwith the non-agriculturalcommunity to promote localproducts and understandingaverage farming practices.“We want people to see thatwe are good to our animals.We treat them well, they arehappy and have a clean home.We’d like to demolish thenegativity that surrounds thedairy industry,” said Speck.

The transparency offeredby the Specks was wellreceived. Thomas andKatherin were both eager andwilling to answer any and allquestions that the visitors hadduring the day. Katherin Speckexplained that it was importantto realize that Kennmatten isnot an anomaly of the dairyindustry but their practice is an“average Canadian dairyfarm.”

Visitors Karen Westcottand husband Paul Lacoursierelive in Finch and passKennmatten Farm daily. Theysaw the signs advertising the

event and were eager toattend. They wereaccompanied byLacoursiere’s sister, MicheleBarter and her family fromAlberta. “There cansometimes be bad press[surrounding agriculture].Most people want to knowthat things are being doneethically and educatingpeople on the treatment ofanimals is important,” saidWestcott. She continued thatthe event encourages the useof local products and istherefore a “win/win for thecommunity.”

While Kennmatten Farmprovided Ontario milk andcurds for the guests, the actualstrawberry sundaes were onsale at Avonmore Berry Farmjust a short drive away. Theberries were provided by thefarm while the ice cream wasthe Kawartha brand, anOntario favourite. Wertestimated 1,500 plus peopleattended the event andenjoyed the day. “It’s a greatopportunity to actually talk tofarmers. We focused ourattention on urbanconcentration and heldcampaigns in Ottawa andCornwall to promote theevent,” said Wert.

Avonmore Berry Farmhad live music from theMcDonald Brothers andsome highland danceexhibitions. This wascombined with an optionalwalking tour to seven stationsset up throughout the farm’scrops. David Phillipsexplained that it was a

surprise for visitors to realizejust how many different cropsthe farm produces. The touralso gave attendees thechance to have a more hands-on experience with the crops.

The Phillips’ are regularlyinvolved in educationalevents, holding the Farm toTable series which had threedinners in 2016 and will hostanother three this summer.“We want people to knowhow their food is grown. It’sall about education,”explained Phillips.

Admission was free butsundaes were free only tochildren under 12, with aminimal cost of $5 for others.Approximately 650 sundaeswere sold and money raisedwill go to the Stormont andGlengarry 4-H Clubs andJunior Farmers. The event

was a great success and agood step in the rightdirection for bridging the gapbetween agricultureproducers and theirconsumers. It was all possiblebecause of the manyvolunteers from the localagricultural groups, as well asthe commitment to educationand willingness from thefarms involved.

Dairy educationKennmatten Farm owners Thomas and KatherinSpeck spoke to the many visitors about Ontariodairy farming, during the Strawberry Sunday/eevent on July, 9. Pictured with the Specks on left,is Greg Harps from Finch and on right, XavierGauthier from Maxville. Gauthier’s grandfatherwas the original owner of the farm which wasbuilt across the street from the newer freestall.

WINCHESTER — The

Winchester Peewee Red Sox

rescheduled the ROSA

championship game but were

the visitors on Tuesday night

against Gloucester. The Red

Sox reached the final after a

scare in the opening game of

the playoffs from Greely #1

with a 17-11 loss but they

battled back to take their

second round-robin game 15-

8 against Vars in the season

championship tournament,

which was held in

Williamsburg the weekend of

June 23-25.

The Sox then took out the

Kenmore #1 Heat in the

quarterfinal and beat the team

that beat them in the opener,

Greely #1, with a slim 9-8

victory to move on to the

final game. Just before their

game was about to start the

clouds opened up and the

game had to be rescheduled

to Tuesday night.

Red Sox 20 Gloucester 9

The Winchester Peewee

Red Sox were a rare visiting

team at home on Tues., July

4, as Gloucester played the

host at the 100 Club Ball Park

of the ROSA Championship

game.

The Sox opened the game

with a two-run lead in the top

of the first inning. The Sox’

defence got them through the

top of the first allowing three

runners on base but after the

sixth batter neither of the runs

scored. The Sox’ bats heated

up in the top of the second

scoring four runs on just five

batters taking a 6-0 lead.

Gloucester broke the

goose egg in the bottom of

the second but scored just a

single run. The Sox’ bats

remained hot in the top of the

third inning scoring the

maximum four runs allowed

making it 10-1.

Gloucester got back into

the game in the bottom of the

third scoring four runs after

getting six batters to the plate

to cut the Sox’ lead in half.

Unfazed by Gloucester’s

offence, the Sox pounded

another four runners around

the bags taking a 14-5 lead in

the top of the fourth inning.

Gloucester refused to give

in scoring another four runs to

cut the deficit to five again.

The relentless Sox’ attack

proved to be too much for

Gloucester to handle, as the

Sox scored four more runs in

the top of the fifth inning. The

Sox’ defence did their job in

the bottom of the fifth

allowing only three batters to

the dish taking an 18-8 lead

into the sixth inning.

The Sox scored two in the

top of the sixth but left the

bases juiced. Gloucester ran

into a wall in the bottom of

the inning and managed to

score a single run but it

wasn’t enough as the Sox

took the game with a

convincing 20-9 victory. The

Sox took home the ROSA

Championship ending a

dream season.

Scoring the runs for the

Sox were Megan Thompson,

Alexis Sharpley, Mia Ziegler

and Ashley Wasylko with

three each, Delaney Johnston

and Margot Guy with two

apiece and Amanda Shay,

Reise Marriner, Alison Roach

and Adrianna Van Breugel

each scored singles.

GLOUCESTER—The Williamsburg

Squirts Pioneers travelled to Gloucester on

the weekend of July 7-9 for the ROSA

Championship Tournament. The Pioneers

were not given much thought heading into

the tournament after playing only seven

regular season games and picked only one

win so they were the ultimate underdog.

The Pioneers opened the weekend with

a game against the Kenmore Heat and

suffered a minor setback dropping the

game 13-10 setting up a must-win game in

the round robin portion of the tournament.

The Pioneers fell behind early in the

game but made the comeback complete in

their final at bat to take the game 15-14 in

the unlimited run inning. The Pioneers then

moved on to the quarterfinal against the

Kemptville Wildcats.

This game saw a lot of lead changes and

swings back and forth but in the end the

Pioneers snuck out a 14-11 victory to move

on to the semifinal. In the semifinal, it was

against the home team Gloucester.

This time the Pioneers were ready

jumping out to an early lead and never

relinquishing it with a 14-12 win so they

headed to the championship game. The

Pioneers faced the team they faced in the

f i rs t game of the tournament , the

Kenmore #2 Heat.

After losing previously to the Heat,

the Pioneers trailed early in this game as

well but battled back to take a slight

lead. The Heat then tied the game in the

fourth inning but the Pioneers took over

from there scoring nine more runs to take

the championship 15-13, capping off a

great season full of memories to last a

lifetime.
