News – An internationallyrenowned activist has signed the petition against the proposed hydroelectric generating station in Almonte. Maude Barlow, chairperson of the Council of Canadians, signed the petition because she says it is an obvious loss for the citizens of Almonte. “It is a loss for the environment: the ecosystem of red maples that symbolizes the region. It is a loss for tourism, and the heritage that Almonte is known

A loss for the economy as no clear job gains are envisioned,” said Barlow in a statement to the Carleton Place Almonte Canadian Gazette newspaper. “I encourage everyone to sign this petition against the dam.” Barlow is the recipient of 11 honorary doctorates as well as many awards including the Citation of Lifetime Achievement at the 2008 Canadian Environment Awards, the 2009 Earth Day Canada Outstanding Environmental Achievement Award and the 2011 EarthCare Award, the highest international honour of

the Sierra Club. In 2008-2009, she served as a senior advisor on water to the 63rd president of the United Nations General Assembly and was a leader in the campaign to have water recognized as a human right.

AMO signs new ten-year federal gas tax fund agreement News – The federal gas tax fund administrative agreement was signed July 11 at the Hillcrest Transit Complex in Toronto. The Honourable Joe Oliver, Minister of Finance, Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) President Russ Powers and City of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford signed the Agreement that will guide the delivery of gas tax funding to Ontario communities for the next 10 years. “We are proud to have reached an agreement with the Government of Canada that will keep federal gas tax funds flowing to Ontario’s municipal governments,” said Powers. “I know that municipalities are eager to put this critical federal funding to work building, repairing and improving Ontario’s infrastructure.” The new agreement builds on the fund’s strengths with changes that will benefit Ontario communities. New

project categories have been added so that municipalities can invest in many different types of infrastructure that meets local needs. The fund is now indexed so that it will grow over time. Indexation will benefit municipalities in 2016 and 2018. To highlight the fund’s impact on people, communities and local infrastructure, AMO released a video that celebrates federal gas tax fund investment in the Town of Prescott. The town used the gas tax fund to rehabilitate Industrial Road and Irvine Drive – roads that lead to several local employers including Kriska Transportation, Rideau St. Lawrence Distribution Inc. and Beach Home Hardware. “Investing in local infrastructure is vital to Prescott’s ability to attract residents and businesses,” said Brett Todd, Mayor of the Town of Prescott. “We have used the federal gas tax fund to

invest in several key projects, including local road rehabilitation.” Prescott invested more than $250,000 of federal gas tax funding into the Industrial Road and Irvine Drive project. The roads are now smooth and safe providing better access to local businesses. Prescott is not alone. Municipalities across Ontario use the federal gas tax fund to invest in priority local infrastructure that supports job creation and economic growth. To date, municipalities have invested $3.2 billion in 5,300 projects worth more than $9.1 billion. “Each municipality is unique and the flexibility of the gas tax fund enables municipal councils to identify local priorities and invest where it is needed the most,” said Powers. “Just like in Prescott, Ontario communities are investing in important local infrastructure.”

Nationally, the federal gas tax fund is the only permanent and stable source of funding for municipal infrastructure. It provides Ontario municipalities with $744 million per year. AMO delivers the fund to all Ontario municipalities, except Toronto. It is delivered twice a year, on a per capita basis. The agreement signed will govern the flow of funds to 2023. Funding is invested in infrastructure that makes our communities safer, more efficient and prosperous. You can learn more about the gas

tax fund in Ontario by visiting www. gastaxatwork.ca or @GasTaxinOntario on Twitter. AMO is a non-profit organization representing almost all of Ontario’s 444 municipal governments. AMO supports and enhances strong and effective municipal government in Ontario and promotes the value of municipal government as a vital and essential component of Ontario and Canada’s political system.

Canines to strut their stuff next week at dog show in Beckwith Community – Dog shows are a popular way for people to show off their canine companions, and fun for spectators. Next week, July 21-23, a number of purebred pups will compete at the Valley Kennel Club (VKC) All Breed Dog Show at Beckwith Park. Admission to the grounds is free, and events begin at 8:30 a.m. and run until 4 p.m. each day. Moreover, vendor booths and food (human and canine) will be available at the show. “Two-hundred dogs will compete each day,” obedience chair ILona Monahan said, “so, it would be a perfect opportunity for people to come out to the show and see what the various breeds look like.” “They come from all over eastern Ontario,” she added. Canines can be entered in two different categories: conformation and obedience. There will be four all-breed conformation shows, two on Monday (July 21) and one on Tuesday (July 22) and Wednesday (July 23). Additionally, there will be four obedience trials for spectators to watch:

two on Monday and two on Tuesday. “The conformation part of the show will take place on the ball diamond, and the obedience section will be held in the coverall,” Monahan said. She noted there will be a Poodle specialty on the Monday, as well as Dalmatian and Golden Retriever boosters on the other days, “so there should be quite a few of those breeds to view.” “Some of our judges are coming from South Africa and Australia,” Monahan said, “so truly an international panel of experts to judge the dogs.” The conformation part of the show is based more on the dog’s appearance. Using their hands, judges will examine the animals’ teeth, muscles, bones and coat texture. “They will also take a look at them in profile,” Monahan said, “and watch them gait (move).” For the obedience section, dogs’ intelligence is tested: walking on a leash at the owner’s side; standing to be touched by a stranger; sitting and lying down with distractions; finding items that were touched by the owner; and coming when called.

A dog show is basically a process of elimination, with one canine is ultimately awarded the title Best in Show. There are seven groups of dogs in next week’s three-day event: sporting; hound; working; terriers; toys; non-sporting; and herding. Each dog will compete first in its own class (breed) then in its own group (dogs used for a similar purpose), and finally for Best in Show (all groups). “It really is interesting,” Monahan said. “A way to learn more, and see a lot of beautiful dogs.” Beginning at noon on Wednesday the Beckwith Fire Department and the VKC will be raising money to help the brigade purchase resuscitation equipment to assist in saving the lives of local dogs and cats. “The Beckwith Fire Department will have its antique fire truck on site, and for a small fee dog owners can have their pup’s picture taken on the engine,” Monahan said. “Money will be used to assist in the purchase of pet resuscitation equipment for the department.” Beckwith Park is located at 1319 9th Line.

Quyon Ferry officially launches the Grant Beattie July 10 Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It started with a blessing, a Champagne bottle smashing against the starboard, and a song from Gail Gavan with dozens joining in. That sounds like a typical Saturday night in the Valley, but instead it was the kick off to the new Quyon Ferry, a cabled, soon-to-be-battery-operated boat capable of shipping up to 21 vehicles in one crossing.

The boat, with a deck that spans 120 feet in length, then transported many of owner Don McColganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family, friends, and project helpers to the legion in Quyon for speeches, food, and a celebration last Thursday, July 10. McColgan laughed along with all jokes about the project taking 10 years to complete and even added in a few of his own â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;You wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to hire me by the hourâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but grew serious and even poignant when

it came time to give thanks. He thanked those that built the boat, the politicians that helped secure grants and clear red tape, the port authority volunteers, and his employees. His voice wavered when it came time to thank his nephews, including Harold McKenny who lost an arm in an accident on the construction site almost a year ago to the day. Normally a man of few words even fewer displays of emotion, he then thanked his

children and especially his wife, the thought of whom nearly brought him to tears. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have put all of you through so much,â&#x20AC;? he said, reading from a prepared statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But you believed in me and supported me through all of it. Even when I was short temperedâ&#x20AC;Ś I love you and I thank you, Ruby.â&#x20AC;? The Grant Beattie Perhaps the second most important person at the event isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even alive anymore. McColgan, fulfilling a decadesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; long pledge, name his boat after someone he describes as â&#x20AC;&#x153;No finer man Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve metâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the late Grant Beattie. Beattie began doing repairs on the ferries in 1962 and kept helping out until few years be-

fore he died at age 94 in 1995. He was a jack-of-all-trades, a farmer, sawmill owner, plumber, and all things in between. He was also a teacher to young McColgan, who never forgot the invaluable lessons passed down. Beattieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandson Brian took great pride and pleasure in sharing stories about his grandfather who was from Bristol, Que. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish he were here for this,â&#x20AC;? Brian said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I know if grandpa were alive heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be down in the (engine room). He wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be in the limelight.â&#x20AC;? Dwight Eastman with the non-profit Mohrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing Quyon Port Authority brought everyone connected to the project on stage. Among them

was West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry. During the crossing, he talked about the literal and metaphorical connection the ferry brings to two of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four founding provinces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These ferries have been bringing people back and forth for over a hundred years,â&#x20AC;? ElChantiry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All people along both sides are related. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the nice thing about this. And it brings more economic infrastructure to our backyard. That never hurts.â&#x20AC;? From Ferry Road near Fitzroy Harbour, departure times are 10, 30 and 50 minutes after the hour. The cost is $8 per car, up from the 50 cents per two horses back in the day.

New online reporting system helps OPP News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has made another move to improve efficiency within one of the largest deployed police services in North America. This week the OPP unveils a new online reporting system that will enable the public to report specific occurrences from a computer. Citizen Self Reporting will offer the public another way to report select incidents that are not an emergency, by completing a report online at their convenience.

The OPP is one of several Ontario police services who have adopted an Internetbased crime reporting system where people can report certain crimes such as lost property, theft from vehicles, and property damage, without an officer having to be dispatched. Only occurrences that do not involve an injury, a suspect or evidence are applicable. An officer will attend if requested by the complainant. It is expected that Citizen

Self Reporting will be beneficial to both the public and the police. It will provide a convenient alternative to the citizens of Ontario, while allowing frontline officers to focus their efforts on other enforcement and crime prevention strategies within our communities. To access the system, go to opp.ca. The OPP can be contacted toll free anytime at 1-888-310-1122. Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police.

Cancer-free and enjoying each day By Tracey Tong Stephen Hanlon had the world by the tail. The 21-year-old had just returned from backpacking through Europe when the bomb dropped. He was diagnosed with testicular cancer which had metastasized to his kidney, lung and lymphatic system. “The prognosis didn’t look good,” remembered Stephen. “It wasn’t caught early. Everyone expected the worst.” Everyone except for Stephen’s oncologist, Dr. David Stewart, who worked at The Ottawa Hospital, where Stephen was treated.

NOTICE: Change in Tick submissions to the Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit As of July 1, 2014, we will no longer accept ticks at our Health Unit sites. Our surveillance program will consist of an active surveillance strategy where we will look for and collect ticks from areas where they may be emerging. The change in how surveildiagnosing disease; rather it was a tool for surveillance. Even if the tick was positive for the bacteria, it did not mean the tick transmitted the bacteria to the individual. The length of time the tick is attached is a key factor in the transmission of Lyme disease. We appreciate the assistance of the public over the past years in this surveillance project.

“I had a great oncologist,” said Stephen. “He reminded me of Clark Kent, and I thought, ‘I have Superman in my corner, so I’m going to be OK.” He underwent surgery, 12 weeks of chemotherapy and another extensive surgery. Complications landed him in ICU after going into respiratory arrest where once again the medical staff pulled him through and gave him the best of care. Fast forward many years and Stephen, who works with his wife Shirley on The Hanlon Real Estate Team at Kellar Williams in Mississauga, has just blown out 50 candles on his birthday cake. He’s an avid ﬁtness fan

Arts – It has been ten years since the Puppets Up! International Puppet Festival began – the brainchild of celebrated puppeteer, Noreen Young and her team of enthusiastic locals from Almonte, Ontario. What started as a small town event showcasing the talents of a number of puppeteers who’d settled in the area, as well as other Canadian and American performers, Puppets Up! has grown into an outstanding event presenting the often times cutting-edge work of puppeteers from around the globe. Puppets Up! mascot, Nick, has invited some of his favourite performers from around the globe to return to the best family festival around as the Puppets Up! International Puppet Festival gets underway in Almonte, Ontario, on Aug. 9 and 10, celebrating our 10th anniversary. Starting on Saturday morning, the two-day festival will feature shows by professional puppet troupes from Canada, the United States, Italy, and Switzerland. “Happy Birthday” is our theme this year and we are thrilled to welcome friends old and new for our tenth year. With a host of new faces and old favourites, it’s sure to be an unforgettable weekend of family entertainment. The Puppets Up! International Festival provides worldclass puppet performances in the theatres and on the streets, hassle free (and free) parking, a daily parade, a very walkable and visitor-friendly festival site, great local shops and festival vendors, and plenty of green space for the occasional breather. And Almonte is only a half-

Seventh Gil Read memorial fastpitch tourney will feature excellent competition July 25-27 Jeff Maguire

Sports – The Gil Read Memorial Fastpitch Tournament has become a highlight on the summer sports calendar in Ottawa and eastern Ontario. Players and fans alike are looking forward to the seventh annual edition which will be staged in Carp July 25-27. Chris Read, the son of the late Gil Read and his cousin Al Read are once again heading the committee which organizes the three-day tournament. Unlike last year, when the event reached its maximum 12 teams, this year was more challenging in terms of confirming clubs to compete. “Some years are like this. Summer is such a busy time and some people have other activities to attend. So a few teams who usually play in our tournament are unavailable this year,” Chris explains. “But we now have 10 teams confirmed. It will be a very good competition and we urge fastpitch fans to come out and enjoy some excellent games on the final weekend of this month,” he adds. One team who will be back is last year’s runners-up, the Elkland Thunderbellys from Pennsylvania. They lost to Sharon (Ontario) Lake Simcoe Lightning in the 2013 tournament championship game. Although Sharon Lightning is unavailable this time Thunderbellys, from the small village of Elkland in north-central Pennsylvania, will be competing for a third straight year. “The Elkland people really enjoy our tournament and it is great to have them back again. After last year they are the early favourites,” Chris stresses. Most of the teams and players involved this year are from either the Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL) or other men’s leagues in the district. Leading the eastern Ontario entries will be Micksburg Twins, from the Pembroke area, the defending GOFL champions. This season Twins are in the middle of the pack in the seven-team loop, but the standings are very close at present. The other GOFL teams who have signed on for the competition are Stittsville 56ers, Kanata Pirates and local favourites, Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric. Stittsville and Kanata are currently battling for first place in the league. Also penciled in are a local tournament team, the Ottawa Valley A’s, comprised of players from West Carleton. They will be joined by Ottawa Broker 4 Tickets from the Glen Cairn Men’s Fastball League along with an all-star entry from the Trend Arlington Men’s Fastball League in Ottawa. Returning to the Carp showdown is another peren-

nial competitor, the Napanee (Shoeless Joe’s) Junior Express. Napanee made it to the playoff round last year before losing to eventual tournament champion Sharon Lightning in the quarter finals. The 10th and final team to join the cast is Domville Aces, a tournament team from the Prescott-Brockville area. Carp facility Again this year all games will be played on the two diamonds at the Carp Fairgrounds which are considered among the finest fastball fields in the region. All proceeds from the tournament will go to the Gil Read Memorial Foundation. The foundation assists underprivileged youngsters who wish to play sports, but otherwise would not have the funds necessary to take part. The 2013 venture raised the most money yet for this worthwhile cause!

The Gil Read Memorial Fastpitch Tournament has become a highlight on the summer sports calendar in Ottawa and eastern Ontario. Players and fans alike are looking forward to the seventh annual edition which will be staged in Carp July 25-27. “It is nice to have Elkland, Napanee and Domville involved,” Read observes. “But with so many local teams and players taking part it means we should have a lot of family members and friends coming to the games. That should really help our attendance.” The tournament is held in memory of Chris Read’s father Gil, a long-time fastball coach who died tragically in 2007. The following year the first competition was held at Carlington Park in Ottawa. In 2010 the venture moved to Carp and this will mark the fifth straight year the tournament will be staged at the expansive fairgrounds in the quaint village in the West Carleton section of Ottawa. The teams have been matched in two, five-team divisions. The event opens with four games Friday night (July 25), two at 7 p.m. and two more at 9 p.m. Action resumes at 9 a.m. Saturday and continues all day. Sunday afternoon’s championship final is scheduled for 3 p.m. The tournament winner will pocket $1,800 while the runner-up takes home $700. The third and

fourth place entries will each receive $250. Read says organizers would welcome the involvement of even more sponsors in order to assist the foundation with its goal of raising funds to assist underprivileged youngsters. “The more sponsors we have, the more money we can put toward the cause,” he notes. “We have some really good sponsors who are back with us again this year. We really appreciate their involvement. We are learning more about how to achieve the necessary sponsorship,” he outlines. Fastball fans from eastern Ontario and west Quebec will have an opportunity to see some of the top players in the region do battle on two diamonds in Carp. Organizers moved the venture to the village in 2010 in hopes of attracting more fans and increasing revenues. That tournament was a complete success. The foundation nearly doubled the profit from 2009 and the upward trend has continued the past three years. The Read cousins encourage area fans to come out and watch some excellent fastball in Carp next weekend. Stittsville 56ers won back-to-back GOFL crowns in 2008 and 2009 while Micksburg are the defending champions. Fan friendly Those who attend the tournament will find a large refreshment tent on site and food (hot dogs and hamburgers) will be available all weekend. There will be a loonie ball toss held again this year and there is a splash pad available for youngsters. A day pass for the tournament is $5 per person while a weekend pass is $10. Children under 12 years of age will be admitted free and there will be lots of activities on site for children. The tournament’s namesake, the late Gil Read, led three men’s teams to the Canadian championships in 1993, 1995 and again in 1999. He also coached Team Ontario to gold medals at the 1997, 2001 and 2005 Canada Summer Games. Carp is easily accessible via Highway 417 while Kanata residents can use March Road to reach the community. There is unlimited free parking on the expansive fairgrounds. Anyone interested in the tournament or those wishing to become a sponsor or make a donation can call Chris Read at 613-292-7379 or contact him by email at chris@canadiandad.com. For additional information on the tournament and the Gil Read Memorial Foundation, visit the tournament website: www.gilreadmemorial.com.

Holy celebration News – Almonte representatives participate in the annual worldwide Corpus Christi Procession June 22. Holy Name of Mary Catholic Church, and other Christian churches around the world celebrate this anniversary and continuation of Christ’s turning bread and wine into His body and blood at The Last Supper. While many celebrations are held within the walls of the church, this annual procession goes ‘outside’ to expose the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament to the world while processing through the streets.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

OPP partners with Mac’s for Operation Freeze this summer DEAR EDITOR: The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is once again teaching kids that getting caught ‘doing the right thing’ this summer can be cool. Through a partnership with Mac’s Convenience Stores, OPP officers who see young people doing random acts of kindness and exhibiting positive behaviour will be handing out ‘tickets’, which are actually coupons valid for a free Froster beverage at Mac’s. Operation Freeze 2014 provides law enforcement officials with an additional tool to initiate conversation and promote community aware-

ness. During the upcoming summer months, OPP officers across the province will be presenting thousands of these coupons to kids. Officers will use Operation Freeze to recognize youth for wearing bicycle helmets; doing good deeds like picking up trash; observing crosswalks and participating in community activities. They can also be used as conversation starters to help establish a rapport with kids in their patrol areas. Ontario Provincial Police

Think before you text Editorial – Is a text so important one should risk their life? It is for many, who every day, make the decision to check their phones while behind the wheel. We are all guilty of it, whether some admit it or not, but it’s a terrible habit to see on the rise in our younger generation. Of course, growing up in a technology-laden world, a smartphone is something that most youth can’t do without, so it isn’t a surprise that a recent survey conducted for the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) revealed that many youth between Grades 7 to 12 are texting while driving. The 2013 Ontario Student Drug Use and Health Survey showed that more than one-third of adolescent drivers (approximately 108,000) admit to texting while driving at least once in the past year, while 46 per cent of licensed students in Grade 12 also said they have done the same. Everyone has seen online videos showing people so focused on texting on their phones that they’ve walked into trees or lampposts, or worse, out into oncoming traffic. Now, imagine putting that person behind the wheel of a vehicle. Scary, isn’t it? While this survey focused specifically on children, they aren’t the only culprits of texting while driving and we should all know better. Texting behind the wheel is another form of distracted driving, just as dangerous as if someone is drinking, using drugs, eating or putting on their makeup, while driving. Common sense has to come in at some point.

Grape arbour represented a place of solace in the ‘30s Lifestyle – Today it would serve no meaningful purpose to a farm that is now used for nothing more than to run cattle and with the house long gone. But back in the ’30s the grape arbour served many purposes, and I am not sure now if Father worked the vines to form the arbour, or if they grew that way naturally... although I strongly suspect Mother had asked Father to coax the long vines into shape. At any rate, natural or otherwise, the grape arbour was a high arch of green leaves, completely closed in on the north, east and west sides, with only the south portion facing the old log house open for easy access. I thought the hollow was enormous – as big as our kitchen it was. And Father and Mother could easily stand up inside the arbour, so it would have had to be at least six feet from ground to the top vines. As soon as the leaves formed, the hollow was immediately turned into an outdoor room. At the start of the summer season, the grass inside was thick

and green, but after a couple weeks of constant use, the grass shrivelled up and died and left a soft mat of straw in its place. Mother would move a washstand into the very back of the cavity, and Audrey and she would take enough dishes out of the kitchen cupboard to stock the washstand for the season. A bake table from the summer kitchen was moved out; two benches from the drive shed, and the big wood swing with the double seats helped fill the cavity, and the grape arbour was ready for business. We still ate our breakfasts in the house, but unless it was pouring rain, our noon meal was eaten outside. Father tried to tell Mother using the grape arbour as a dining room added to her workload 10 fold, but Mother always said it was worth the effort. We carried the food out on trays covered with sparkling white tea towels which remained on the steaming bowls and platters all the time we were eating.

mile of something that was going into our mouths. It didn’t matter how hot the day, the grape arbour was always cool inside. The big flat leaves kept the hot rays from penetrating, and if there was a breeze, they still allowed the air to circulate, so it was a most pleasant place to spend an hour at noontime. Father, instead of going into the kitchen to the creton couch, as he did every day after his noon-hour dinner, would tilt back an old weather-beaten chair against the table and have his mid-day nap, which he seemed to be able to slip into with the greatest of ease inside or News Editors: Laurie Weir, Joe Morin, Ashley Kulp REPORTERS: Stacey Roy, Tara Gesner, Desmond Devoy, Tiffany Lepack, Jeff Mackey DISTRIBUTION: Lori Sommerdyk, 613-283-3182 ,ext. 138 CLASSIFIED/REGIONAL ROUNDUP 613-283-3182 Judy Michaelis x122 email: jmichaelis@theemc.ca Cheryl Code x133 email: cheryl.code@metroland.com Fax: 613-283-5909

outside the house. When the meal was over, Audrey would bring out the big white granite dish pan filled with hot soapy water, and even the clean-up from the meal was done outside. Sport, our old collie stood at the ready, waiting for whatever morsel was left on a plate. Plopped right on the ground. No need for a dog dish outside. On Saturday morning, as a rule, the grape arbour was off limits to everyone but my sister Audrey. Her best friend Iva Thom would come to visit, after each had done her chores, and with their embroidery work, or knitting they would head for the old wood two-seater swing. I was never allowed to go near them. Mother said they had earned a time of privacy. How I longed to listen in on their grown-up talk about boys and spooning, and kissing and goodness knows what all... subjects which I knew for a fact peppered their talks in the grape arbour.

and the world outside. When I did have the privilege of having the grape arbour to myself, I would take my dolls out there, and the cavity would become my house. I would rearrange the benches to form rooms, and the table would be the bed, and I would slip into a world of fantasy where I alone would have admission. There were many quiet times spent in the grape arbour with Mother. These were private and special times. She with her sewing basket on the ground beside her chair, me sitting beside her listening to tales of her life in New York City before she moved to the farm in Renfrew County, and I would think there was no better place to be in the whole wide world, than in that most secluded of spots, the grape arbour.

Studio Theatre gears up for another exciting new season

dio dramas were a popular form of entertainment. More recently, this art form has returned as a stage drama in its own right. This classic Christmas play, directed by Norma Cummings, is done as an oldfashioned radio play with visual sound effects and actors playing several parts. The old becomes new again. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Wonderful Life runs Dec. 4 to 14. In the new year, Jeremy

reason or another. A funny, heart-warming tale in the true Foster manner, Hildaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Yard runs Feb. 5 to 15, 2015. The Salvage Shop by Jim Nolan follows, a drama of a family struggling to resolve a painful rift before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late. Set in a small coastal Irish town, The Salvage Shop is filled with the colourful characters and rich language of a traditional Irish play. It is directed by Patricia Parry and runs April 9 to 19, 2015.

You can take in all six productions for a special discounted price of $115 if you buy before Labour Day; after Labour Day a season pass is $125.

It seems that everyone is already focusing attention on the coming season. And so it is with the Studio Theatre. Although this active theatre company has one more summer production on the books (An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde, Aug. 14 to 24) already preparations are in progress for the fall season, a line-up of plays chosen by artistic director David Parry along with a committee of production directors.

And the season winds up with a musical bang as C.Lee Bates brings us The Drowsy Chaperone, a musical that was born in Toronto in 1997 and went through numerous metamorphoses before emerging as an award winning script by Bob Martin and Don McKellar. The story involves a confirmed musical theatre fan who plays his favourite album on the turntable and watches the musical come to life in his gloomy apartment. This is a must-see for all fans of the old musical theatre. The Drowsy Chaperone runs June 4 to 14, 2015.

Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It is mid-July, and summer is half over. Already back to school ads are appearing, as are ones for fall fashions. It seems that everyone is already focusing attention on the coming season. And so it is with Studio Theatre. Although this active theatre company has one more summer production on the books (An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde, Aug. 14 to 24) already preparations are in progress for the fall season, a line-up of plays chosen by artistic director David Parry along with a committee of production directors. In October, they present Crimes of the Heart, an award-winning play by Beth Henley and directed by Barb Guthrie. This family drama about three sisters, each dealing with a personal crisis, is at once funny yet touching. Crimes of the Heart runs Oct. 9 to 19. Next up, is an Evening of One-Act Plays featuring Studio Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eastern Ontario Drama League (EODL) oneact festival entry, A Bench at the Edge, an off-beat dramatic comedy by Luigi Jannuzzi. Lucas Tennant, who usually appears onstage, changes hats and will direct. Another play, yet to be chosen, will accompany this festival entry. An Evening of One-Act Plays runs only one weekend, Oct. 30 to Nov. 2.

Community – On the weekend of Aug. 1 to 4, the Canadian Motorcycle Cruisers (CMC) will hold its annual rally in the Ottawa-Gatineau area. A private, members-only, event it will be attended by 300 plus motorcycle riders and their families from across Canada. Riders will start arriving in the area as early as noon Friday, Aug. 1. They will collect at the Wesley Clover Parks Campground, 411 Corkstown Rd., Nepean where they will camp and connect with one another until Monday, Aug. 4. With bikes moving in and around the Ottawa area throughout the long weekend, organizers are working hard to ensure the safety of participants and residents. There will be organized group rides held on the Saturday and Sunday in and around Ottawa. This includes a ride to the Perth/New Port area, along with one to Calabogie on Saturday. On Sunday morning there will be a scenic ride to Champlain Lookout including parts of the National Capital and along the Rideau Canal. All rides will be led by meticulously trained road captains. All members on group rides will follow safe group-riding protocols and ride in proper formation. “The CMC is a familyoriented social riding club made up of motorcycle enthusiasts and their families interested in good, clean fun. We have moms and dads who ride with their eight and 12-year-olds and we want them to be safe,” says Bonnie St. Julien, first officer, CMC Ottawa. “The CMC puts safety first. For example, we have a no-alcohol policy

on our rides; if someone takes an alcoholic drink at a stop or is found to have been drinking, they would be asked to leave the organized ride. This protects riders and the broader community,” continues St. Julien. CMC Ottawa, the lead organizer this year, has more than 450 members. The majority of members are middle-aged with up to 30 per cent who are women. In addition to riding, members routinely engage in charity rides and support a number of local organizations. Examples of this includes the Ride For Dad where CMC members volunteer as “blockers” to help keep local residents in and round the event safe, regular attendance at the annual Mothercraft Ottawa Touch a Truck event which provides young children an opportunity to interact with members and sitting on the bikes, attending the Cruise Don’t Bruise event a motorcycle charity ride held by the Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre; along with being active members in the Society of Area Riders (S.O.A.R.) whose focus is promoting motorcycle awareness in the Ottawa area. The CMC was established in 2006 and is made up of 5,000 plus members and 93 chapters nationwide. It is not affiliated with any particular brand of motorcycle. The CMC was Canada’s first and is its largest all-Canadian riding club. Everyone is welcome and there are no fees to join. This is the second time the national rally is being held in Ottawa. The last time it was held was 2011 at the same location.

CMC National Rally: A social riding club that lives ‘safety first’

United Counties Leeds and Grenville practices crisis preparedness News – More than 120 frontline United Counties of Leeds and Grenville emergency responders, and Counties and municipal leaders participated in a crisis preparedness exercise in Kemptville June 24. A total of 12 municipalities, staff from all area police and fire departments, the Leeds Grenville Paramedic Service and the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville joined in the table-top exercise to coordinate resources, and assess response times and communications. The reaction to the exercise by local responders earned praise from Lisa Harvey of the Ontario Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management. “The communication between all levels of government and non-government agencies, industry and the province was exceptional,”

said Harvey, who oversaw the exercise. Harvey, who is the field officer responsible for this area, also outlined provincial Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) processes. “I want to congratulate the Counties for co-ordinating a joint exercise with the local municipalities and separated municipalities. This is preparing for emergencies for the safety of our citizens,” she said. Leeds Grenville Warden Ron Holman attended the exercise held at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. He was encouraged by the large turnout and the broad representation of frontline agencies, elected officials, municipal and Counties staff. “It’s important for us to do this individually at the municipal level but it’s even more

important to do it as a group across the Counties,” Holman said. Leeds Grenville public safety manager Kevin Spencer said the mock exercise involved a significant seismic event occurring in the region. Resulting dam-

age and emergency needs varied widely from municipality to municipality. Part of the test was to see how well municipalities communicated with one another and the Counties. “It proved the neighbours of Leeds and Grenville are

there to support one another,” Spencer said. The joint emergency exercise was co-ordinated by the Counties public safety department. Legislation requires all Ontario municipalities to exercise their emergency plan on

an annual basis. The Counties co-ordinates a large scale exercise every two years. Guest speakers at this year’s event included representatives from Trans Canada Pipelines Limited, Trans-Northern Pipelines Inc. and Enbridge Pipelines

Inc. Each gave overviews of their operations and emergency response planning and preparedness. All three companies have lines in this region. Submitted by the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville.

Sad fate of great liners intriguing part of Ireland visit Lifestyle – I recently wrote a column about the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the passenger liner ‘Empress of Ireland’ which was marked in late May. My maternal grandmother Beatrice Watson (nee Hardy), who was born in London, England was one of thousands of immigrants who safely arrived in Canada on the vessel. But in the early morning hours of May 29, 1914 the ship sank in the St. Lawrence River, near Rimouski, Quebec after colliding with the Norwegian collier ‘Storstad’ in thick fog. The tragedy, the worst disaster in Canadian maritime history, is often referred to as “Canada’s Titanic.” The liner capsized in just 15 minutes taking 1,012 people to a watery grave. Among the dead were 840 passengers. That’s eight more than the number of passengers who perished when RMS Titanic famously struck an iceberg and sank in the Atlantic, off the coast of Canada, two years earlier. In my earlier column I wrote that despite the huge loss of life the sinking of the Empress has achieved scant attention, especially when compared to the incredible amount of hype and publicity that continues to surround Titanic. It is also interesting to note that the Empress of Ireland disaster takes a back seat to the story of yet

another famous ocean liner ‘The Lusitania’ which was sunk by a German U-Boat, off the south coast of Ireland, a year to the month after the Empress tragedy. Mystery continues to surround the Lusitania story. What is known is that on the afternoon of May 7, 1915 a total of 1,198 passengers and crew perished when the ship went down, in just 18 minutes, following a second internal explosion. Some believe the second blast was caused by munitions the vessel was carrying. Most experts say it was actually a coal bunker explosion. When we returned from two weeks in Ireland and England, at the end of June, I was pleased to find a note from an official at the Canadian Museum of History (formerly the Museum of Civilization) in Gatineau. The museum is currently hosting a display on the 100th anniversary of the Empress of Ireland tragedy. Evidently staff at the museum enjoyed my column. Because they have set aside two free passes for me to attend the Empress display. Very good of them and I will be taking them up on that offer in the near future! During our visit to Ireland I was able to add to my knowledge and my personal record about the sinking of both Titanic and Lusitania.

Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE

Along with ours friends the LeBlanc’s, Kathleen and I embarked on what turned out to be an excellent, five-day rail and coach tour of the south and west of the picturesque Republic of Ireland. Our excursion included stops in Cork, Ireland’s second largest city and the nearby port of Cobh. Queenstown Readers who are familiar with Ireland and/or the Titanic and Lusitania disasters will know that Cobh was formerly named Queenstown. The southern Irish community, with its deep harbour, was the last port of call for RMS Titanic on April 11, 1912. Before she headed into the wide Atlantic Ocean and an appointment with destiny, Titanic dropped anchor briefly off Queenstown to let a few passengers disembark, while 123 others boarded the giant liner. That part of the saga is well documented in present day Cobh as part of the “Queenstown Story” which

details the community’s very interesting history and in particular Cobh’s significant role in faminerelated Irish immigration in the 19th Century. A main highlight of the displays, which we were fortunate enough to tour, is Titanic’s brief but intriguing visit to the port. Among the passengers who left the ship in Queenstown that day was Father Frank Browne, a Jesuit priest in training who took some of the most iconic photographs of the vessel and its passengers. Browne had been gifted a ticket on the Southampton (England), Cherbourg (France) and Queenstown portion of the voyage. Browne was offered a berth for the rest of the voyage. He contacted his superior who ordered him off the ship and back to training. A good thing too or Browne’s photographic record would probably not exist! Just 48 of the passengers who boarded at Queenstown survived the sinking. When our coach drove through Cobh the tour guide, a wonderful chap named Norman Foster, gave us his own very interesting version of both the Titanic and Lusitania stories. He also pointed out monuments to both vessels which are prominent features in Cobh town centre. But the bus didn’t stop and I was disappointed not to get photos of those memorials.

Fortunately the museum itself is just a few blocks from downtown Cobh. I took a brisk tour of the displays and, checking my watch (we had a train to catch to Killarney, our overnight stop), I decided I had time to hurry downtown and take my photos of the monuments. Frank LeBlanc soon joined me and we were able to capture the images we wanted. On the way back to meet our wives and rejoin the tour group we were also able to photograph the former White Star Line office (the firm which owned Titanic) in Cobh. It is now a combination museum and restaurant. Before we arrived in the former Queenstown our guide Norman instructed the bus driver to make a stop that he allows only if passengers are on time and don’t delay the carefully timed tour schedule. Fortunately we had prompt people on this particular trip! The brief photo stop was at the Old Church Cemetery. Also known as Cobh Cemetery, it is the final resting place for 194 of those who died in the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915. There are three mass graves which are marked only by large stones. There are brass plaques affixed to the stones which read See COLUMN page 23

Carleton Place councillor presents signed flag to Canadian Forces general Gary Strike

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; On Thursday, July 3, I was invited to the Department of National Defence headquarters in downtown Ottawa, to present the Canadian Unity Signature Flag. It was created by close to 4,000 signatures or names of supporters in appreciation of the fallen and injured soldiers. Signatures were collected on Parliament Hill on the National Day Of Honour (May 4) and completed at the Defence Community Family Appreciation Days at Canadian Forces Base Uplands on May 31. I arrived in the lobby at 1 p.m., a half-hour early. An officer came down and met me, escorting me through the double set of security doors, up to the 19th (top) floor. We walked in to the waiting room outside of Chief of the Defence Staff,

simply â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lusitania 7 May 1915â&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Nearby is a memorial with the names of 31 of those who are interred in the plots. Most of those in the mass graves were never identified. Also in the cemetery are 24 individual graves of Lusitania victims. One that stands out is the final resting place of J.F. McDermott, the ship surgeon. The headstone gives only the date of his death. But his age is listed. Dr. McDermott was just 38. It was amazing to stand in a cemetery with so much history attached to it. The oldest grave marker records a death in 1698. However it is the Lusitania victims buried there who draw a steady stream of visitors, including tour buses. Titanic Quarter During this visit to Ireland we went full circle, from Cobh in the far south, to Belfast in Northern Ireland. Our three day visit to Belfast, the capital of what remains a province of the United Kingdom, also completed our journey with reference to Titanic. The ship was constructed at the Harland and Wolff shipyards which are still in operation to this day. The firm is now called Harland and Wolff Heavy Industries and it does more than build ships. Titanic is arguably the biggest tourist attraction in Northern Ireland. The city has capitalized on that with a waterfront regeneration scheme named â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Titanic Quarterâ&#x20AC;?. The district is anchored by a large facility called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Titanic Belfastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which is part museum and part high-tech attraction. Opened in March 2012, it is built on the actual slipway where the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s massive keel was laid down. Details about Titanicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister ships Olympic and Britannic are also featured. We toured the multi-level complex, something that takes visitors a minimum of two hours to accom-

General Tom Lawsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. There was close to 20 of his officers waiting to greet me. I talked to the photographer and he asked me if it was the last flag I was going to do and I told him that was a good question, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure. I talked to several officers that I had dealt with during all of the arrangements. General Lawson came out of his office, greeted me and introduced me to his staff, one of which was from Carleton Place. He said that they were well aware of my work and support. They saw the signature flags in Afghanistan. He said that he saw me collecting signatures on the Hill and that they were very appreciative and would hang the flag in a prominent place in the building. Every officer in the room shook my Photo courtesy of CORPORAL PIERRE HABIB/Canadian Forces Support Unit (Ottawa) Imaging Services hand and thanked me individually. I was overwhelmed by their sincere apprecia- Carleton Place resident and town councillor Gary Strike, middle, presents a Canadian Signature Flag to General Tom Lawson, Chief of the Defence Staff, left, at his office in National Defence headquarters in Ottawa tion.

Strike collected the signatures for this flag from Canadians in the National Capital Region, in support plish. Wendy said she went in with- of the members of Canadian Armed Forces. out a great deal of enthusiasm, expecting â&#x20AC;&#x153;just another museum.â&#x20AC;? She left the building highly impressed. We all did! The operators have included virtually every multi-media tool available today and they have done it very well. Some displays feature life size characters projected in such a way that they look almost real. They represent actual people involved with the ship who are shown talking to each other about various aspects of this incredibly popular, real-life tale. Old photographs and some wonderfully enhanced film, taken at the time of Titanicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s construction and launch, help set the scene. Visitors are also taken on a ride (literally â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in moving cars) through a marvelous mock-up of the Harland and Wolff shipyard. Titanicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s construction comes to life in a truly fascinating way. We were also impressed by how the stories of certain passengers and crew members are told, in stages, as you move through the displays. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discover what happened to them until the end. The final stop is a large theatre which shows top quality footage of Titanicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wreckage on the floor of the North Atlantic. A team led by famed American oceanographer Dr. Robert Ballard discovered the vesselâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final resting place in 1985. For anyone interested in a reallife story that continues to fascinate to this day, the Titanic Quarter in Belfast is a must! To me the experience put an exclamation mark on something that has interested me for years. The stories of three huge ocean liners Titanic, Lusitania and Empress of Ireland. All three vessels and their unfortunate passengers and crew deserved better fates! If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers. com.

Magic on Mississippi Lake pays off for Bullen and Bowes Sports – Renegade Bass, the leader in live release bass tournament fishing in Canada, is pleased to announce the results of the second qualifier event of the 2014 tournament season presented by Evinrude BRP Motors, Ranger Boats and Orleans Boat World and Sports. The Town of Carleton Place, Ontario played host to 55 of Canada’s Elite Bass Angling Teams on June 12. Teams were competing for more than $13,000 in cash and prizes on Mississippi Lake. Mississippi Lake is a renowned fishing destination in Eastern Ontario with over 35 miles (55km) of shoreline and significant wild rice fields and lake vegetation supporting a strong population of both largemouth and smallmouth bass. Renegade teams competed hard in this second major event of the 2014 season and didn’t disappoint spectators with eight of the top 10 teams bringing 16lbs plus bags to Renegade’s Water Weigh-In scales. The winning MyCar/Sprig Homes/ Kanata Rims and Tires pro team of Scott Bullen and Doug Bowes topped this elite field of anglers with a huge weight of 18.47lbs. This veteran team knows Mississippi Lake well, Bullen having grown up fishing the lake and a former resident of the area and Bowes, a resident of Carleton Place.

“We went into the event confident we could put five good fish into the livewell, but knew we had to be patient running fast, burning a lot of fuel and fishing super slow allowing the big bites come to us,” said Bullen. “Traditionally there is a great shoreline structure bite on Mississippi Lake but our bigger fish came on deeper spots with jigs, senkos and a new prototype bait I designed called the Bullen Beast.” “We’re a team that works very well together and plays off each other’s strengths. If Scott’s fishing slow, I’ll throw a moving bait or vice versa, that way we know we’re covering off our options and focus on getting big bites,” said Bowes. “From pretournament practice and all through the tournament day, we’re always trying to solve the big bass bite puzzle. That and a lot of experience on Mississippi Lake brought home the win for us!” The Renegade Bass Series will now move to the Town of Morrisburg for back-to-back events on Aug. 2 and 3, to compete for a top 40 final position which will qualify teams to fish for an Evinrude-powered Ranger Bass Boat from Orleans Boat World and Sports. For full results and final TOY standings please visit the Renegade Bass website: www.renegadebass.com.

The Renegade Bass Tour made a stop in Carleton Place this weekend, on Saturday. Carleton Place resident Doug Bowes, left and Scott Bullen and took home the top prize of $5,000 at the tournament with a weigh-in of 18.47lbs over five fish. Tiffany Lepack/ METROLAND

Paul Shibata one of the founders of the non-profit tournament series holds a largemouth bass above the Shimano Live Release System to ensure they release the fish ‘sooner, faster, farther and safer.’ The tournament has two live release boats which enables them to shuttle fish back to the lake faster.

This Week’s Pets

Hunter Maddie He’s handsome, slim, has 15 white Maddie is a black eight-year-old fe- and one black toe. He’s affectionate, male cat who was also surrendered. She’s first in line to greet you with his lovely voice. Loves to be brushed. He hasn’t been too long at LAWS but is eager to leave soon to a forever home. He’s just the perfect lap cat you’ve been looking for. Hunter is approximately three years of age, that will give you lots of time to watch movies together. Come and meet this very lovable boy!

very friendly and just loves her litterbox to be clean. We suggest to always have two available for her and daily scooping is needed. Other than that, Maddie has no issues, she just want to be loved and curl up with you on a couch to watch a good movie.

This week’s featured pets Titan Titan was surrendered by his owner just over a month ago. For private reasons and a move out west, the previous owner could not take Titan with him. Titan is a very friendly orange tabby cat just over 1.5- years-old. He’s used to be-

have chronic renal failure from the chemotherapy. Although I am limited in some ways, I try not to let it stop me.

Despite living 4,000 miles apart – with Peter in Ottawa and Russell in Edinburgh, Scotland – the two men share an interest in ﬁshing, and manage a visit every couple of years. Peter even followed in the footsteps of his architectural technologist dad, becoming an architect in the UK at 25, just before emigrating to Ottawa with his Canadian wife in 2001.

“But I am lucky I survived.” On September 6, 2014, Serena will be participating in Ride the Rideau, The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s signature event and fundraiser for cancer research at The Ottawa Hospital. Her goal is to complete the 50 km event in honour of her grandmother, father and mother-in-law, who lost their own battles with cancer. lung.

“When I was diagnosed the second time, I just had a feeling inside that I was going to be OK, that I was going to make it through,” she said.

Now 41 and completely recovered, Serena works at Carleton University as a Senior Programmer Analyst. She is a ﬁrst responder with the Canadian Ski Patrol and Priority One. She was the ﬁrst person with a disability to join the ski patrol in Canada.

Again, she underwent chemotherapy and surgery to remove the cancer from her

“My life has been changed in a big way,” said Serena, “I have to live with an artiﬁcial leg. I also

In 2009, Russell was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Fortunately, the disease was caught very early and was highly treatable.

“It’s a terrible disease,” she said. “I hope they ﬁnd a cure some day soon.”

But when Russell was diagnosed with an aggressive Large Cell B Lymphoma in 2010 – the family was worried. He underwent more than two years of chemotherapy.

To learn more about Ride the Rideau, visit www.ridetherideau. ca.

The dreaded disease returned again before last Christmas. This time, the relapse took a huge toll on the formerly strong man.

She was admitted to a children’s hospital in Halifax, where she received chemotherapy and blood transfusions and had her left leg amputated just above the knee. The treatments were harsh, she said, but didn’t stop the cancer from returning. Just one year later, she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her left lung.

Trinka A good samaritan found Trinka wandering the road full of porcupine quills and brought her to a vet clinic. Kind hands removed them, then after a complete check-up she was brought to us.

“It just seemed to appear for no reason,” said Serena. Through X-rays and a bone scan, doctors diagnosed her with osteosarcoma. “I think my parents were more afraid than I was,” Serena remembered. “I didn’t think I was going to die.”

Poppet Poppet is a lovely, very skinny grey and white young cat. She arrived very emaciated but is adding on some weight. She loves to curl up in her new cat bed to sleep the day away and comes out when she need a belly rub. Poppet likely needs to be on hypo-allergenic food for the rest of her life to keep her fur from falling out. Please come and meet these lovely cats.

that special forever home, she’s been at LAWS since last year August. She loves other cats too. What Alannah needs is a person who patiently introduces her to a new environment. It might take a few weeks before she adjusts, but the reward to both of you will be there. Please give her a new chance in life.

Trinka is a lab mix, about three-yearsold. As you would expect from her lab background, she is a social butterfly, great with people and most dogs. Always smiling, she is full of youthful energy, enthusiastic outgoing and curious. When it’s playtime she woofs with excitement. But she focuses well on her training. Her sits and downs are good and leash training is progressing nicely. Trinka needs more space than an apartment affords. She would prefer an active someone or family and adventures in the outdoors. She would love to go camping with you! Visit our website at www.lanarkanimals.ca.

“The ﬁrst two ﬁghts with cancer wore him down,” Peter said. ‘This time, there were stays at the hospital for a bunch of complications,” Peter said. “His bowel ruptured, and he got very close to death’s door.”

His father, now 68, is “very frail” and housebound, and doctors have told his family that the cancer is beyond cure. “We are obviously devastated,” Peter said of his tightknit family. Searching for a way to make a difference here at home in Ottawa, Peter signed up for Ride the Rideau, The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s signature event. The event, which has raised more than $6.45 million for cancer research over the past four years, will mark its ﬁfth year on Saturday, September 6.

Lifestyle – The shelter is currently facing a kitten overpopulation problem. These beautiful babies need forever homes. Please consider adopting and for a limited time if you adopt a kitten you will get a second adoption at half price. The cost to adopt a kitten is $190, the second one would be $95. For the safety of the animals, we’d like to remind the community not to drop them off at the shelter after office hours. It is very dangerous in this heat to leave them outside for any length of time unattended. For information on adoptions and our upcoming events please visit our website at www.lanarkanimals.ca or find us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals.

Delage, is fun for the whole family and last year we had a good turnout with many kids learning a lot about pond life in a fun environment with the learned teachings of Chris, who is with Ducks Unlimited. This year should be just as good. The walk will be at the wildlife conservation area just outside of Perth.

The Lanark Wild Food Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popular aquatic walk will be held Aug. 23. Above, during last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event, participants find critters and learn more about their habits. The walk was created to allow children the opportunity to learn more about pond life and the environment. one can be a herbalist.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I was delighted last year when Bill Barrett and Hilary came into the Grove with me as Bill knew all the trees I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t! There are several pathways into Gillies Grove. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be meeting at the Ottawa Street entrance near Harrington Street. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a lot of parking there but further down Ottawa Street, within very easy walking distance there are two schools right next to each other, Walter Zadow Public School, and Arnprior District High School. Parking is prohibited at the high school but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think anyone would object to people parking at Walter Zadow since schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out. Ottawa Street is off John Street,

one of the main downtown Streets in Arnprior that leads up to the hospital. If anyone has any questions about getting there, they can call me at 613-6238120. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drive myself, but I can give directions once I know which direction theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming from to get to Arnprior. Registration is at 9:30 a.m. and start time is 10 a.m. as usual with a voluntary requested donation of $10/ person or $20/family. Registration can be done through the website which is now up and running by Googling www.lanarkwfc.com and hitting the events tab. See you there. Devils Rock Path Walk

In late 2012, Tom Robertson was diagnosed with stage 4 bilateral squamous cell carcinoma in his neck. Treatment started in early 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In between diagnosis and treatment, I saw this cool singlespeed, belt-drive bike at the store and thought that it would be a good idea to make it a goal to ride it after treatment,â&#x20AC;? said Tom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when I was ďŹ nished all the radiation and chemo, I had difďŹ culty even walking 50 feet, let alone ride a bike.â&#x20AC;? Cancer ďŹ ghting heroes arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t built overnight. Bit by bit, he built up his strength, one kilometre at a time. Tom signed for the 50 km ride in the 2013 edition of Ride the Rideau as a recovery goal â&#x20AC;&#x153;as well as small payback for the great care and treatment I received at The Ottawa Hospital,â&#x20AC;? he said. Ride the Rideau is The Ottawa Hospital Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature event. The event, which has raised more than $6.45 million for cancer research over the past

four years, will mark its ďŹ fth year on Saturday, September 6. This year, Tom bought a bike with a few more gears and has signed up for the 100 km ride. To learn more about Ride the Rideau, visit www.ridetherideau. ca.

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The following are news and events taking place within the Lanark County Wild Food Club (LWFC). The July 26 walk promises to be exceptional as Carol McGrath walks us through Gillies Grove in Arnprior and teaches about traditional medicine and healing. Gillies Grove is a conservation area and is one of a handful of old growth stands of trees left in Ontario. This will be a hands-off learning experience with due respect to the setting. Here are Carols instructions: Regarding our walk in Gillies Grove, dogs are welcome as long as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on leash and their poop is scooped. A major caution regarding bringing children along is that there is a lot of poison ivy right along edges of the trail so people should be aware that if they have lively toddlers or kids who are especially active theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to be kept in the centre of the trail. Long pants and boots (no sandals) are probably a good idea. There was no poison ivy where I grew up in Newfoundland or where I lived in British Columbia for 30 years, so I have no personal negative associations with it but as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure you know, if the urushiol oil from the plants gets on shoes, socks or the bottom edges of pants it can still be actively a problem when those items are removed at home. Besides clothing, the oil can also be carried into peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cars and homes on their dogs and will continue to cause problems even if the plant has been left behind in the Grove! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the â&#x20AC;&#x153;comefrom-awayâ&#x20AC;? person on this walk so this is all old story to your group but I mention it in case there are new people along that like me didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grow up with it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working with the medicinal uses of herbs since 1977 but of course thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always more to learn. I think the only advantage I have is that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent a lot of time using certain wild plants so I have confidence about what many of them can and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do, and although Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve primarily studied the medicinal uses of plants in the West Coast rainforest, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also looked at plants wherever Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve travelled, the Atlantic provinces, in the American Southwest desert, and in the Central American jungle. Many medicinal herbs can also be used as wild edibles, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primarily an issue of amounts. Some plants that are strong medicine are most appropriately taken in small doses, so a little in a salad or tea can go a long way. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to encourage everyone who comes to the walk to bring a field guide and a magnifying glass so we can identify plants we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. I have lots of magnifiers and a variety of guides so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bring some in case any new people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have one. I was thrilled (and perhaps a little intimidated!) to hear of the vast amount of expertise that the different people in your group have. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping that this can be a mutual exchange of everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knowledge. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m actually giving a talk at noon the day after our walk at the 19th annual Midsummer Herbfest in Almonte, called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Any-

Almonte’s James Hugessen appointed to the Order of Canada Tiffany Lepack tlepack@perfprint.ca

News – The Honourable James Hugessen says he has had an interesting life…that’s an understatement. The 80-year-old Almonte resident has led a remarkable life and is now being recognized for his contributions to the advancement of disability law and for his dedication as a jurist. On June 30, Hugessen was appointed to the Order of Canada, which is the country’s highest civilian honour. It was established in 1967 during Canada’s centennial year, to recognize outstanding achievement, dedication to the community and service to the nation. Hugessen was unaware that he was nominated for the prestigious honour until Gov. Gen. David Johnston called him to let him know that he had received a list of appointments and he was happy to accept his name. “He has the grandest job of all, I am glad he has it and not me. I didn’t know why he was calling but he quickly got to the point,” Hugessen remarked. Hugessen explained that his path had crossed with Johnston when they both worked at McGill University and they also skied together at Mont Tremblant. “I know that it is not a personal appointment from the Governor General as it’s handled by a committee,” said Hugessen. “It’s an enviable task for the people who decided who gets it and I realize there are so many people who have done deserving things and don’t get it.” According to the office of the Governor General, he does like to make such

The Honourable James Hugessen of Almonte was appointed to the Order of Canada on June 30 for his contributions to the advancement of disability law and his dedication as a jurist. Hugessen is pictured at his home in Almonte looking over the Mississippi River. The Order of Canada medal is a stylized snowflake of six points, with a red annulus at its centre which bears a stylized maple leaf circumscribed with the motto of the Order: DESIDERANTES MELIOREM PATRIAM (They desire a better country), surmounted by St. Edward’s Crown. calls to new appointees and because he knew Hugessen “he was delighted to be able to call him himself and congratulate him on receiving this honour.” Hugessen was very grateful to receive the award.

“I was surprised and flattered when he called,” said Hugessen. “I said thank you!” He was only permitted to tell close family members and had to keep it a secret until the official press release

Hugessen earned his Bachelor of Arts Degree with a Major in History at Oxford University and he went to law school at McGill University and Université de Montréal. After he was finished school he practiced general litigation law. “Then, very early on I was appointed to the Quebec Superior Court in Montreal,” explained Hugessen. In 1983 he was appointed to the Federal Court of Appeal and he and his family moved to Ottawa. “The law then and still requires judges to reside in the National Capital Region and most of our five children were grown, we only had one still in high school,” explained Hugessen. “We always had in mind to live in Almonte and return to the family roots for Mary.” In the 1980s, he started to have difficulty with his vision and found it hard to read. He is now legally blind. “At the Appeal Court there is a lot of reading, I had to use a program that converts text to voice and it was much faster,” he said. While he was at the Federal Court of Appeal he chaired a national Task Force on Access to Information for Print Disabled Canadians. “I volunteered with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind and I worked with the National Library on the issue of improving access with the was issued recently. printed word for all persons with disabilities, not just the blind and I am very Career of achievements Hugessen was born and raised in pleased that the study has been largely Montreal but he and his late wife, Mary See ORDER page A/CP2 Rosamond Hugessen, moved to Almon-

implemented,” said Hugessen. At his request he was then moved to the position of Federal Trial Court judge with the cooperation of the Chief Justice. At the same time he was the chair of the Federal Court Rules Committee, and they re-wrote the entire federal court procedural rules. After that he was appointed to be a judge on the Administrative Tribunal of the International Labour Organization (which is the heir of the Administrative Tribunal of the League of Nations) and sits in Geneva, Switzerland. “It’s a United Nations agency that is the final appellant body for disputes between internation-

“This shows that there is strong opposition and I hope the Ministry of the Environment is listening.” Mississippi Riverwatcher member Mike O’Malley thought it was nice that Barlow took an interest in the issue. “Almonte is known to her and I think she would realize the importance of the riverscape to the town,” said O’Malley. “She sympathizes with the citizens concerns.” O’Malley continued by saying she is very aligned with citizen causes. “I think she is extending her support for citizen advocacy as an instrument for political awareness and change,” said O’Malley. “Provincial politi-

al civil servants and the agencies that employ them such as the World Health Organization, UNESCO, and Interpol,” Hugessen noted. He was required to travel overseas twice a year to come up with collective decisions with judges from nine other countries. In 2008, Hugessen officially retired but he still worked parttime as a judge for three more years. In 2010 he made a gift of $550,000 to the McGill Faculty of Law for the Justice James K Hugessen Fellowship for the Study of Disabilities and the Law to stimulate research and study in the important area of disability and the law.

It is awarded by the Faculty of Law to outstanding graduate students who are conducting research in the area of disabilities and the law. “I wanted to set it up because of my personal experience. I know how people can be discriminated against completely unintentionally. Now we have more doors with automatic openers, ramps …We have made huge strides but there is still a long way to go …the more you study it the more it will be improved,” said Hugessen. Locally, Hugessen has also been very involved as he has served as a member of the accessibility committee with the Town of Mississippi Mills and most re-

cians have difficulty comprehending community issues and advocacy helps elevate them to provincial awareness.” O’Malley encourages people to sign the petition and to let Premier Kathleen Wynne know that this issue matters to the community. He says to send her a message either on Twitter: @Kathleen_Wynne or to contact her office via email: premier@ontario.ca. The current proposal by Enerdu Power Systems is for the construction and redevelopment of the existing hydroelectric generating station on the Mississippi River in Almonte. Many community members are against the redevelopment and more than 4,000 people have signed the online petition. The petition states: “The

proposed Enerdu hydroelectric project in downtown Almonte poses unacceptable environmental, heritage and economic risks to this community and should not be approved.” O’Malley says the more than 4,000 people who have signed the petition are Almonte enthusiasts that have lived, visited and feel that Almonte is a significant place. For more information or to sign the petition, visit www.almonte.com/petition. For more information on the Mississippi Riverwatchers organization, visit www.riverwatchers.ca There is also a second community organization against the proposal called Stop Enerdu and its website can be found at www.stopenerdu.com.

Celebrate eight years with People First of Lanark County on July 21 tgesner@perfprint.ca

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; People First of Lanark County (PFoLC) reaches an important moment this month. Members will gather with staff, family, friends and community partners on July 21 to celebrate the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eighth anniversary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any non-profit organization with our budget would have been lucky to last five years,â&#x20AC;? Kory Earle said. Earle is the former leader of PFoLC and current first vice president of People First of Canada. PFoLC does not receive financial support from the provincial or federal governments, and relies entirely on fundraising efforts and the communities in which it serves.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would not have survived without the area communities,â&#x20AC;? Earle said. The anniversary event takes place from 5 to 10 p.m. at the Army, Navy & Airforce Club, located at 315 Townline Rd. East in Carleton Place. The Army, Navy & Airforce Club continues to offer the full use of its premises to PFoLC for special festivities and, of course, at no charge. Last year the club was the recipient of PFoLCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have been fantastic,â&#x20AC;? Earle said. The Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award honours a person, organization or business for their major commitment to the local chapter. Past winners include Tara Gesner, Kathy Seguin and Carleton Place Coun. Jerry Flynn. Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festivities are open to all.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would love for people to come and celebrate this important day with us,â&#x20AC;? Earle said. There will be a 50/50 draw, door prizes, barbecue, cake cutting ceremony and, of course, the presentation of the 2014 Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The award is always kept a secret until itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presented,â&#x20AC;? Earle said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and everyone is always anxious to find out.â&#x20AC;? Speeches commence at 5 p.m. Speakers include PFoLC president Manon LĂŠpine, Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc and Flynn, and Earle will deliver the keynote address. This year the Town of Carleton Place declared June 21 People First Day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a special moment for us,â&#x20AC;? Earle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are always happy to let the community know who we are. We are proud.â&#x20AC;?

Free kids concert July 22 Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Mississippi Mills Public Library is proud to host Mary Lambert, a Juno nominated childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performer, at Almonte Old Town Hall, Tuesday, July 22 at 2 p.m. This concert is free and good for children of all ages! This is a new interactive childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s musical performance to enhance the summer reading theme â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eureka.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making Music with Mary Lambertâ&#x20AC;? is highly participatory in nature and will help children discover all about making their own lyrics to songs, rhythms with their hands and other body parts and their own dance moves. Please go to www.marylambertmusic.com for more information on Lambert â&#x20AC;&#x201C; spread the word!

The local chapter of PFoLC was formed on July 21, 2006. When Earle moved to Carleton Place in 2004 he became involved with Community Living Association-Lanark County, and in May 2006 the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s then executive director Rick Tutt approached him about working together to see if a People First chapter would survive in the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the very beginning, people in Carleton Place were receptive,â&#x20AC;? Earle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a need.â&#x20AC;? Over the previous eight years PFoLC has worked exceedingly hard on behalf of all people, with or without disabilities, and ensuring they get to live a life with dignity and respect. Some highlights: Protecting Vulnerable People Against Picketing Act, inclusive education, community acceptance,

community partnerships (Community Living Association-Lanark County and the Mills Community Support Corporation) and anti-bullying campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to give back to the community through the annual Bunny Run and Community Christmas Dinner,â&#x20AC;? Earle said. Setting a remarkable precedent for self-advocacy groups across the province is the reason Community Living Ontario presented PFoLC with its 2010 James Montgomerie Community Award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come a long way,â&#x20AC;? Earle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can be proud each and every day.â&#x20AC;? PFoLCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office is located at 355 Moffatt St. in Carleton Place.

Quality housing project for seniors proposed for Carleton Place Tara Gesner tgesner@perfprint.ca

News – Carleton Place values its oldest residents, and the need for additional housing for seniors in town has been identified as an important community priority for many years. “It can’t come soon enough,” Mayor Wendy LeBlanc said. LeBlanc and members of the Carleton Place Seniors Housing Project Development Team gathered outside Carambeck Community Centre July 7, to announce a proposed quality housing project for seniors. “This is an exciting time for the dedicated individuals who have worked hard to bring us to this point,” LeBlanc said, “but like all ambitious projects, it will take time.” A realistic timeframe is three to five years. “There is still a lot of work ahead, but the development team is committed to making the dream of a new building for seniors a reality,” LeBlanc said, “and I thank them for their commitment and dedication.” For more than two years the project has been in the works, she added. Members of the Carleton Place Seniors Housing Project Development Team: Mills Community Support Corporation (MCSC) chief executive officer Mike Coxon and property manager Tim Dowell; Elizabeth Court board member

Scott McGee; local councillors Doug Black and Jerry Flynn; and community members Wayne Drummond, Dieter Jeschor and Brooke McNabb. LeBlanc noted Drummond, Jeschor and McNabb have a strong interest in housing for seniors, and “they possess skills in housing development, project management, real estate/development financing and community engagement.” MCSC will provide backbone support for the development of the housing project. Located in Mississippi Mills, the non-profit organization is an experienced housing operator, a provider of support services for seniors and a nongovernmental organization that engages in community development. Coxon called the proposed housing initiative for seniors “a project the whole community can support.” “The community needs to step up,” he said. “This must be owned and operated as a Carleton Place project.” Although it is still under wraps, the development team has identified a potential piece of land for the project, which would encompass between 25 to 40 units. “We want the units to be affordable as possible,” Flynn said. Coxon explained the next task is to retain a development consultant. “We are waiting for a response to our request for proposal (RFP),” he said,

On hand at Carambeck Community Centre last Monday, July 7, for the announcement of a proposed quality housing project for seniors in Carleton Place were, from left: Mills Community Support Corporation property manager Tim Dowell and chief executive officer Mike Coxon; community member Wayne Drummond; Elizabeth Court board member Scott McGee; Mayor Wendy LeBlanc; Coun. Gary Strike; Deputy Mayor Ed Sonnenburg; councillors Jerry Flynn, Rob Probert and Louis Antonakos; and community member Dieter Jeschor. “and we hope to get a couple of good ones.” The CEO is confident the consultant will be in place in two or three weeks, and it is hoped a business plan will be in hand by the end of the calendar year. “We will need to be creative and innovative in our business model to sup-

port this facility, as I feel the good old days of provincial funding are over,” Black noted in an email to the Canadian Gazette. The councillor was unable to attend last week’s announcement. In the town’s pursuit of solving its housing crisis for seniors, Black actively

promoted the partnership with MCSC. Additionally, he was instrumental in the seniors’ forum venture at CCC. The aim of the forum: open dialogue with seniors, their families, caregivers and friends, in an effort to determine what is needed to make the lives of older people better. Black congratulated LeBlanc on “getting us through our due diligence, differing opinions and numerous meetings – from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation to Ottawa-based private developers of affordable housing.” He added the mayor’s perseverance culminated in the announcement. “It is important that I acknowledge that it was the involvement and guidance of the Mills Community Support Corporation that has got us to this point,” LeBlanc said. “We gained two years because of the Mills Community Support Corporation,” Flynn agreed. “We are all in this to see housing for seniors developed,” he continued. “It’s an ambitious project, but it’s the closest we’ve been to making it a reality,” LeBlanc said. Since he was elected, Flynn has been an advocate for affordable housing for seniors, and his mother Eva was a member of the committee that was instrumental in the establishment of Elizabeth Court, which opened in June 1990.

Marcel Pinon loves his local community - and wants to make it a better place. As Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital’s (CPDMH) new Board Chair, he says he is committed to ensuring the best care close to home.

As Board Chair, Marcel says he plans to continue to work with the Ministry on the hospital redevelopment plans. “It’s a very long process and we want to ensure that the community understands what is involved.”

“My family has lived in the area for 15 years and we love it. It has it all, including a great hospital,” says Marcel. “I’m happy to give back through my involvement on the Board.”

Marcel also wants to help plan a great party to celebrate the hospital’s 60 years of caring next year. “It’s a major milestone. This community built CPDMH and should be proud of its local hospital.”

Marcel has been on the Board for six years and is no stranger to health care volunteerism. In the past, he has served as Chair of the North Bay Red Cross and as a volunteer firefighter and first responder. “I seem to have always had a link to health care in some way.”

My family has lived in the area for 15 years and we love it. I’m happy to give back through my involvement on the Board.

When not volunteering, Marcel is a manager at NAV Canada. He is also completing his Masters of Business Administration. He lives in Black’s Corners with his wife Rhonda and has two daughters who have both just graduated from university.

CPDMH Applauded for ER Wait Times CPDMH was recently recognized by the Ministry of Health for its improved Emergency Department wait times. In fact, CPDMH has the most improved wait times for hospitals of its size in Ontario. CPDMH’s wait time is 1.5 hours less than the hospital group average of 4.4 hours. It’s all part of our commitment to quality, compassionate care.

Almonte residents launch new book at local library on July 19 Tiffany Lepack tlepack@perfprint.ca

Community – Home is where the heart is but it is also where special mementos from days gone by live. In the new book ‘How Two Make A Nest’ by Monica Blackburn and illustrated by Sam Hamilton, both from Almonte, shows how two swallows work to make their nest a home for their family. It will officially be launched this Saturday, July 19 at the Almonte Public Library at 155 High St. from 4 to 6 p.m. It will be a celebration of the new children’s book with original illustration prints, a raffle, refreshments and free stickers from the book. Blackburn has been the branch services supervisor at the Almonte Library for 27 years and also lives in Almonte.

“It will be a fun couple of hours after lot’s of hard work,” said Blackburn. “It’s been a really fun, rewarding and a little nerve wracking experience but really exciting.” Another great reason to come to the library is to see the original artwork from the book, which, Blackburn says, is beautiful, the show runs until the end of the month. This is Blackburn’s second book after ‘Do It Earl! Do It!’ published in 2012 did very well. “It was more successful than I thought and people have been asking for another book,” said Blackburn. Earl even makes a cameo appearance in the new book for those wanting to see him again! She wanted to write a book with a strong male character and always loved swallows so she put the two together.

‘How Two Make a Nest’ the children’s book will be launched this Saturday, July 19 at the Almonte Public Library from 4 to 6 p.m. The picture book follows the travels of two swallows after their migration from South America through the mountains, the rainforest, a long river and

they end up in the garden from the first book and build their nest. “It was a really plain nest and they wanted something special,” said Blackburn. “They go to the garden and find things that remind them of their journey such as the white puff from a dandelion for the snowy mountains, green ferns for the rainforest and a beautiful blue ribbon from the clothes line to remind them of the river.” They add all of these things to the nest to finish it off. “It fits perfect and they end up with a nest full of babies and they make it their home!” Blackburn feels that it is an important message on how the two work together making their home special. “It’s real life, you bring your past together and make something comfort-

able and nice for your family,” said Blackburn. She reminisced that it reminded her of her own family. “My experience growing up and in my own home it was always a combination of where both parents had been.” The illustrations were done again by Almonte resident Hamilton and are a combination of pen, watercolour, India ink and coloured pencils. “They are very life like,” explained Blackburn. “The nice thing about how Sam can draw animals is he always makes them with such good expressions.” ‘How Two Make a Nest’ will be on sale at the event for $12 and because ‘Do It Earl! Do It!’ was so popular they have done a second print also selling for $12. R0022802388/0717

Ontario budget 2014: The Sequel

ditorial – “As I was saying…” With those words, Ontario Finance Minister Charles Sousa unveiled the exact same budget he unleashed back on May Day this past Monday. Nothing wrong with a bit of levity. Sorry we were so rudely interrupted. But it also leaves him open to a cheap shot by the opposition. Like most sequels, this one isn’t as great as the original – not that the original was that great to start with. At least the first one had the elements of suspense, drama and, dare we say it, a touch of desperation about it. This one landed with zero suspense and went off like a wet firecracker, more of a whimper than a bang. Though all is changed, changed utterly, to paraphrase the Irish poet William Butler Yeats, the numbers are just as glaring as they were back in May. The $12.5 billion

deficit is still there, adding to our $310 billion debt. In total, Queen’s Park is splashing out $130 billion. The Liberals continue to insist that they will be able to bring down spending and get us back in the black by 2017-18 – magically, with few if any spending or staff cuts. Dream on. There are several clouds on the horizon, none of them pretty. The first is that, according to Toronto Star columnist Martin Regg Cohn, Moody’s investment house downgraded the province’s credit rating two years ago. Two weeks ago, he wrote, Moody’s placed Ontario in the “negative outlook,” category, raising the possibility of another downgrade and, with it, higher interest rates. Even if Premier Kathleen Wynne is able to make inroads on reducing spending, any

gains may be wiped out by higher rates. Already, interest payments totaling $11 billion a year, make it the fourth-highest spending item in the budget after health care, education, and social services. Another headache for the Grit gang are potential future fights with public sector workers. They have been given the message that they can forget about any pay increases in their to-be-discussed contracts. Good luck with that. The new Ontario Pension Plan for workers who don’t have a pension plan will place another financial burden on businesses. Though there is certainly a place for this with an aging population, is now really the time for another big, shiny, and, of course, expensive, government program? We can look to Singapore as a country that has a mandatory savings program for all workers, and then tweak it accordingly to suit our needs – and means, or, do as the Ontario New Democrats have suggested and make improvements to the Canada Pension Plan. We also wonder why there is $2.5 billion in grants to companies for job creation. There is a conversation to be had about just how much, if at all, government

must be involved in creating jobs in the private sector. Yes, this may add jobs to the economy, but the money first has to come out of our pockets, so, how much is really being added to the economy? At best, we can hope to break even on this prospect, or even make a little bit of a profit from this investment. But, surely, there must be a more efficient way to do this. We don’t wish to be complete spoil sports on this. The money to help clean up the Ottawa River is welcome and necessary, though we hope that this will be followed-up with better enforcement of environmental regulations that won’t make future clean-ups necessary. A further $11.4 billion over the next decade has been promised to expand and upgrade hospitals, and $11 billion will go out to repair schools during the next 10 years. We can always delay some spending, but, like repairing your car, eventually, the money has to be paid out – and delaying it actually makes it more expensive in the long run. Because costs always go up. And there is only so much money to go around. We wish Sousa and Wynne the best of luck in trying to balance the books in the next three years. They’ll need it.

DEAR EDITOR: What great day Gail and I had last Sunday strolling the streets of Carleton Place. It started last Sunday when we went to the Waterfront Gastro Pub. It was a beautiful day so we decided a beer or two by the water would be pleasant. It turned out to be more than that, as the Carleton Place Blues Society Band was playing outside on the patio. We really enjoyed it and said we should go back the following Sunday. We didn’t quite make it but we still heard the band playing. How? The story is: I met Gail at the Thirsty Moose (her very happy place) on Saturday after she finished her day at Wisteria. We had a quick beer and discussed going to the Gastro Pub to hear the band again and spend a little time by the water. Sunday morning I got an email from friend Carl saying he wanted to golf. Great. We are both members at Scottish Glen so off we went. We played with Ben and Lorie, a nice couple living on Mississippi Lake. Carl and I enjoyed the game if, not the score. Such is golf. Carl wanted to go to Ballygiblins for a late lunch and a pint after the golf game, but since it was a little early and Gail and I had planned to go to the gastro pub, I had leftover pizza from the Eating Place and passed on Bally’s this time. So home I went for reheated pizza and then off to Waggs ‘n Whiskers dog park with Google the poodle. Google and I got home around 4 p.m. and then Gail and I decided to do a little tour. Fortunately, we live within walking distance of downtown

Connected to Your Community - A/CP8 - Thursday, July 17, 2014

so off we went. We walked up Beckwith and stopped at Slackoni’s. The owner and chief, Rob Slack (also a golfer), met us the door and invited us to enjoy the patio, which we did. This was where we heard the blues band, but did not make it to the Waterfront. We sat outside right beside the dam and the music carried over to us. Bonus! Sorry gastro pub, we will make it there next time. Next was a pleasant stroll down Bridge. We passed some of our favourite pubs, Ballygiblins, St. James Gate and the Thirsty Moose, but stopping at all of them is not a good idea if you know what I mean. Gail gave me a play-by- play of the wonderful shops where she loves to spend money. We also passed Saigon Delight, a great Vietnamese restaurant. If you have never had Pho, do yourself a favour and try it. We did stop at the newly opened Grumpy’s in the former Guido’s, The Heritage, and The Mississippi etc., on the corner of Lake and Bridge. Gail had been there before and said the staff was great. She was absolutely right, as always. A nice slow beer on the patio was just perfect. We also got a tour of the new dining room and the bridal suite upstairs. Very well done! From there it was a quick 10-minute walk home and a great finish to a wonderful day in downtown Carleton Place. We think everyone should take advantage of what our town has to offer. Ted and Gail MacDonald Carleton Place

Reader discovers Wild Turkey nest on his property and bird course update Lifestyle – At the end of June, Ian Paige told me of having a Wild Turkey nest by his driveway, in Pakenham ward. In it were five eggs, and a sixth that had been broken. Ian had no knowledge of what bird or animal may have tried to rob the nest. A raccoon, or Common Grackle, or even a Blue Jay may have attempted this action, but with the egg size, could not complete it. On Friday evening, July 4, while lawn bowling at the Almonte club, Cliff Bennett watched as a flock of 50 Cedar Waxwings flew over the greens. On Sunday, July 6, the MVFN canoeing group put in the Mississippi River at Ferguson Falls, and paddled to the bridge over Ferguson Falls Road, had lunch on an island, and returned, spotting 21 species of birds. Four species of swallow were observed under this bridge. Barn, Tree, Cliff, and Rough-winged Swallows were all noted. A Common Loon family with one youngster riding on the parent’s back, a Great Blue Heron, two Ospreys, and four Wood Ducks were great to see. A bonus was seeing a Scarlet Tanager. In the Millstone News, Cheryl Baxter, who lives in Pakenham ward, showed a very good picture of a Warbling Vireo, a lifer for her. As well, in her backfields, she found a nest of Red-winged Blackbirds with five eggs in it. The birds were not pleased to have her walking on her property so close to them, however the pictures were good. While I was waiting for a store to

Strictly for the Birds LYNDA C. BENNETT

open in Almonte, I birded Ramsay Concession 11 and 12, just to see and hear which birds were there. Eighteen species were seen or heard, July 8, between 9 and 10 a.m. Parked on the side, I heard at least three White-throated Sparrows singing. Lots of American Robins on lawns, a Yellow Warbler, Common Yellowthroat and Black and White Warblers all sang. A Wilson’s Snipe was calling from the very top of a cedar tree. A songster I searched for and found was a Gray Catbird. Saturday, June 28, a bird identification course was held at the Mill of Kintail, sponsored by Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists. Bruce di Labio was our instructor/leader, one of Canada’s leading bird experts. In the morning he went over some of the common local birds and how subtle differences in plumage, bill shape, and flying style differentiate one from another. Starting at the head, one needs to look at the head shape, the type of bill – seed eater or insect eater – and feathering, as one example. Then what type of wing do we see, how long is the tail, and what do

the feet look like, if we can see them. Also most important is the type of habitat in which the bird or birds are seen. We don’t expect to see a Common Merganser on our lawn. After lunch, we walked one of the trails, looking and listening to find out what birds were there. It was warm, but shade helped see small birds in the trees. At one of the buildings, Barn Swallows had built nests above a window on the porch. Only one Blue Jay was heard. We tallied 19 species that afternoon. From Almonte, Robin Plewes sent an email about a large dark bird, bigger than an American Bittern, seen on Mississippi River. It perched in a tree, then went for a swim. It seems like a Double-crested Cormorant was enjoying the river, June 29. They have observed Osprey, Belted Kingfisher, Canada Geese, Great Blue Herons, and Tree Swallows as they paddled over the last few weeks. Not many ducks were seen. June 30, while canoeing on Clayton Lake, Mary and Howard Robinson heard Veery and Common Yellowthroat.

At their place, a Scarlet Tanager posed and sang for them. Canada Day in Almonte, they saw a flock of Cedar Waxwings foraging on the berries of a large cherry tree near the post office. That morning, Christine Hume spotted an Indigo Bunting near the Mill of Kintail Museum, a beautiful blue flitting in the sunshine. Please call Lynda at 613-256-5013 or email bennett@magma.ca with bird reports. ARNPRIOR

AGH Lab receives excellent accreditation results Anyone driving past either Almonte General Hospital (AGH) or Fairview Manor will see the Accreditation Canada banners we proudly display to announce our status as an “Accredited” organization. This means we have participated in a review of our Mary Wilson Trider quality and safety practices conducted by a team of our peers against a rigorous set of standards that look at everything from governance and leadership to bedside care. This process occurs every three to four years and our last Accreditation was in 2011. We are looking forward to welcoming another team of surveyors in late October. You will be hearing more about this in the months to come. The other forms of quality and

safety reviews that we participate in are less well known. These include the Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care’s quality inspection program, which regularly reviews Fairview Manor. Recently, the AGH Laboratory hosted three surveyors from the Quality Management Program – Laboratory Services (QMP-LS), which administers the Ontario Laboratory Accreditation (OLA) process. Like Accreditation, OLA reviews the quality and safety of laboratory operations against a rigorous set of more than 450 standards specific to Laboratory Medicine. Many of the standards have sub-standards within them, and each discipline within the Lab is assessed individually against each standard. For AGH, this meant assessment against more than 800 individual standards. Our focus throughout the process was on identifying opportunities for quality improvement. I am pleased to report that after reviewing

This ad is generously underwritten by the Connected to Your Community - A/CP9 - Thursday, July 17, 2014

more than 800 individual standards, the surveyors identified only 15 standards where they have recommended opportunities for improvement. This equates to 98 per cent compliance. All 15 were classified as minor, meaning that an action plan must be in place to address the standards prior to the next scheduled OLA survey in four years. Our Laboratory Team of Kristina Groulx, Mark Boettcher, Helen Jewczy and Tracy Cameron and worked hard to achieve these excellent accreditation results. They were well supported by Christine Campbell and her colleagues at Eastern Ontario Regional Laboratory Association, which is a collaboration among the 16 hospitals in the Champlain Local Health Integration Network. My thanks to everyone involved, whose strong commitment to safe, high-quality care is evidenced by these excellent results. Mary Wilson Trider is President and CEO of Almonte General Hospital and Fairview Manor.

Findlay Foundry plaque unveiled at 170 High Street in Carleton Place Community – A large crowd was on hand Sunday July 13, as the Municipal Heritage Committee of Carleton Place unveiled their latest historical plaque commemorating the Findlay Foundry. Findlay’s operated on High Street for more than 100 years, founded in 1860 by Scottish born David Findlay. His early products included cast iron pots, wagon boxes, ploughs and farm implements. In 1876 Findlay began producing wood stoves. The demand was great, with the “Findlay Oval” being their most famous model. Besides wood and coal stoves, the foundry produced furnaces, heaters, cooking utensils and ornamental pieces. During the Second World War the firm produced ammunition boxes, gas mask components and

military road signs. Many of these items were on display Sunday, borrowed from the collection of the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum. Several members of the Findlay family attended the reception at the Moore House, along with many former workers at the Foundry. Stories were told, memories shared, and Lyle Dillabough performed a song originally written by Freddy Dixon called ‘The Old Findlay Oval’ – a delight for many in the crowd. The plaque is located at 170 High Street, overlooking the vacant Findlay site across the river. You can learn more about the Findlay story and other local history by visiting the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum, Call 613-253-7013 for more information.

The Town of Carleton Place revealed it’s latest historical plaque, left, on July 13 at 170 High Street in honour of the Findlay Foundry. There were many historical displays during the ceremony at the Moore House during the event. Submitted photos

Carleton Place water tower to be refurbished Tara Gesner tgesner@perfprint.ca

News – It pays to look good! Carleton Place’s water tower is being refurbished, and it comes at a hefty cost – nearly $690,000 plus HST. Commencing next month, the work will be completed by Rescom Coatings Inc. of Cayuga, a decision approved by council at its June 24 meeting. Director of public works Dave Young said the project would extend over September and October, with completion expected in early November. Additional costs relating to the work include contract administration and inspection services provided by Misco Inspection Services (MIS), and increased operational costs by Ontario Clean Wa-

ter Agency (OCWA) – owing to staffing the water plant 24 hours a day, seven days a week while the water tower is out of service. Keith Turrey of MIS recently completed a tender review for the water tower’s refurbishment, which encompasses exterior full overcoat (painting), interior lining and safety upgrades. Rescom Coatings Inc., the low bidder ($687,495 plus HST), has the necessary experience. The company has completed 43 water towers in Ontario since 2008. Moreover, MIS has worked with them on 20 water towers over the past eight years. The other bidder on the approved contractor list was Heritage Restoration Inc. of Toronto. The price: $1,118,929.44 plus HST. Young explained the water tower’s

exterior surface is receiving an overcoat system that should last approximately 25 years, with a yearly cost of $9,168. The internal lining would have a service life of 35 years, and the annual cost would be $8,671. This major capital project was originally budgeted in the amount of $440,000. Therefore, any costs above this figure “will be left as unfinanced at the end of 2014, and the amount needed to be financed be funded from future sewer and water capital budgets for 2015 and possible 2016,” Young said. The town’s water tower will be painted using white, pale blue and bright blue colours. “Carleton Place” will appear in a font similar to the one found on the municipality’s popular ‘Meet Me on the Mississippi’ logo.

Car show participants give back to the community, donate $1,400 Tiffany Lepack tlepack@perfprint.ca

Community – The cars rolled into downtown Almonte on July 1 and now the money is rolling into the pockets of two local groups. “The show was above my expectations,” said Peter Bell, show organizer. “We have been getting lots of positive feedback and we will be back bigger and better next year.” The car show had 139 cars parked on Mill Street and be-

tween the registration and the 50/50 sales it raised $1,400. Bell decided to split the money between the Hub Hospice Palliative Care and the Almonte Skate Park fundraiser. “I thought it would be great to donate it to the Hub Hospice,” said Bell. “And the kids have been after a skate park for a long time and we wanted to help speed up the process.” Both organizations said they were grateful for the donations. “The Hub Hospice is living

off of donations,” said Christine Bois the chair of the Hub Hospice Palliative Care Board. “There are just so many generous people in the community.” The hospice is providing visits supporting people who wish to remain in their homes at the end of life, they currently receive no government funding and every dollar goes directly to their nurse on staff. Calvin Murphy, Town of Mississippi Mills recreation co-ordinator, called the show fabulous. “The donation is very much

appreciated, every little bit helps,” said Local residents who took ous donating 162 lbs of food Murphy. in the Pakenham pre-Canada to the Lanark County Food For more information on the hos- Day parade were very gener- Bank and more than $1,000. pice, visit: www.hubhospice.com and for more on the fundraising efforts of the skate park committee, visit: www. almonteskatepark.ca.

Dear Doctor, I have been experiencing severe knee pain that has come out of no where this Spring and nothing is helping it get better. Can Chiropractic help?

If your knee pain seemed to appear ‘out of no where’ as you said, a chiropractor will assess your knee and then thoroughly assess your spine. The reason we would assess your spine for your knee pain is because the nerves that tell your knee what to do come out of your spine at the third lumbar vertebra area in your low back.

Clinically, I have seen the source of knee pain to be most often related in some part to the misalignment of the spine in the low back. By correcting the misalignment in the spine, the knee pain subsides and function and strength return.

The knee is an innocent hinge that allows your leg to bend. When you have knee pain, it is usually because of a misﬁring pattern of the muscle groups around your knee. The misﬁres happen when the nerve

(wiring) is irritated and the muscles react accordingly. Pain and swelling occur when your knee is bending abnormally for a period of time. Misﬁring also involves the menisci and ligaments and they begin to stretch and tear.

New park land approved for town seniors tlepack@perfprint.ca

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Mills Community Support Corporation (MCSC) has received a gift from the Town of Mississippi Mills. In June, members from the Mills asked town council for park land between the Snedden Casey Ball Field and the Mills Country Street properties for 26 additional parking spaces and a seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; outdoor recreation space as part of an expansion plan, which includes a new seniors centre. At the town council meeting on June 24, the town approved the donation of approximately 0.60 hectares (1.48 acres) of land to the MCSC with the following four conditions: That the future park be accessible to all Mississippi Mills residents, that the senior centre be available for programming that meets the needs of all town residents, that all legal, survey and transfer costs be paid by the MCSC and that the parking lot for the Snedden Casey Ball Field be graded at the expense of the MCSC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Mills is pleased with the positive response from council,â&#x20AC;? said Mike Coxon, chief executive officer at the MCSC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We see this response as consistent with advice from the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consultants regarding

the Recreation Master Plan, wherein there was encouragement to work with the Mills regarding the development of recreation opportunities for seniors.â&#x20AC;? Coxon notes that there are two major benefits of the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes it possible for us to develop a plan which contemplates more community use of the proposed seniors centre, if we had been restricted to the existing footprint,â&#x20AC;? said Coxon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I doubt we would have had the space for a parking lot and consequently we would have had to focus primarily on Country Street Seniors Apartments tenants as users of the facility.â&#x20AC;? The second benefit according to Coxon is it opens up increased possibilities for outdoor recreation activities on the site. The next step is for the two to work together on an appropriate agreement. Mill Run The town approved changes to draft plan of the Mill Run Subdivision for Phases 1B and 1C. According to the report submitted to the committee-of-the-whole on June 24: changes in the market conditions require the developer to respond to these demands by modifying the forms of housing provided to include more

townhouses. The approval will see 10 semi-detached units change to 27 townhomes, an increase of 17 units. To accommodate this request the town council approved a zoning amendment from residential second density subzone to residential third density subzone E. The town held a public meeting on June 17 and received no comments on the zoning change. New grader The town is purchasing a new grader at the cost of $289,000 plus HST. The town accepted the low bid from Nortrax Canada Inc. for a Model John Deere 870G grader. The additional financing in the amount of $9,086 was approved to cover the budget shortfall. Development charges The final piece of the pie has been approved for a new development charges bylaw. The town approved that Watson and Associates Economist Ltd. amend the development charges background study to exempt 50 per cent of the town wide charge for non-residential development and prepare the necessary bylaw to impose development charges for the town.

To explore the possibility of obtaining funding for affordable housing for seniors, ages 65 and over, more than five years ago the original Seniors Affordable Housing Committee was formed. The members: Doug Smith, Dieter Jeschor, Flynn, LeBlanc, Ormond Giles, Betty Godfrey, Annabell Thoms and Bob Sparks. In due course, a proposal for a housing project for seniors was developed and submitted by the committee to the province, LeBlanc said. To lobby support, Flynn explained then Mayor Paul Dulmage and mem-

bers of council met with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing at the 2010 Rural Ontario Municipal Association/Ontario Good Roads Association conference in February. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The feeling was that we were well received and the chances for approval were good,â&#x20AC;? he said. Unfortunately, owing to a letter in April 2010, which was signed by Etobicoke Centre Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) Donna Cansfield, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parliamentary assistant (PA), the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hopes were quashed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our project was not selected,â&#x20AC;?

said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and at this time the formal committee was disbanded and a quest began for alternatives.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We even had an option on a piece of land on Coleman Street that was large enough for a complex with 46 units,â&#x20AC;? he added. Today the property is home to Cinnamon Suites by Park View Homes. In October 2012 a seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; forum was held at CCC, and housing for seniors was again identified as a community need. As a followup to the meeting, four members of Carleton Place council (LeBlanc, Black, Flynn and Coun. Rob Probert) quietly worked alongside Drummond,

Coxon and Dowell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We met both separately and together as a group to discuss how a response to this community need might be created,â&#x20AC;? LeBlanc said. In October 2013 the group and a few community leaders (Debby Lytle, Janet McGinnis and Ray Elgersma) met to create a formative vision for a housing project for seniors. LeBlanc said MCSC agreed to act as an interim sponsor for project development, and in December 2013 obtained a seed grant from the CMHC to assist in needs assessment, project planning and development of a business plan.

A wee lad from Drummond, his name it was Murray Despite his short legs - oh could he hurry He searched Drummond far, and he searched Drummond wide But not anywhere could he find one for his bride So he started his trek down Old Number Seven At a dance in Innisville he thought he’d found heaven With his left eye squeezed shut, and a twinkle in his right He grabbed a young blonde and they danced for the night With the Scotch Corners teacher tight in his arms He tried to impress her with plans for his farms It wasn’t too long ‘til he proposed to his wife She jumped at the chance to be his for life At the altar they met on the 31st of July At St. John’s in Innisville, not a cloud in the sky They promised to love, in good times and in bad He was pleased with his pick, this little farm lad! It’s sixty years later, and time how it flies! A life time of love in the blink of any eye They don’t want a big party - but don’t leave them alone! They would love a card, or a visit, or a call on the phone HAPPY 60TH ANNIVERSARY Murray and Muriel Code With love from your family

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Former Smiths Falls Bear Bryan Murray has been diagnosed with cancer. Murray is the current General Manager and President of Hockey Operations with the NHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ottawa Senators. According to the team, he is undergoing further testing and will begin treatment immediately for his condition as prescribed by the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doctors in collaboration with specialists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Murrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treatment schedule may require him to be away from the Senators office periodically. During his periodic absence, assistant general managers Pierre Dorion and Randy Lee will be responsible for managing the Ottawa Senators hockey operations department,â&#x20AC;? the Senators said in a statement released on July 7. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On behalf of the entire Senators family, the team is asking that the thoughts, prayers and support of the entire hockey community are with Bryan and his family.â&#x20AC;? The specific type of cancer Murray was diagnosed with was not released.

Smiths Falls. Ron Haskins, Montague Township fire chief and a former Bear teammate, suggested Murray may well have been one of the best players in the league that year. Haskins who remembers Murray being a few years older, spoke highly of him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was our leader, he was an awesome guy,â&#x20AC;? said Haskins. Haskins adds that he had been thinking about Murray all day and questioned why they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a cure for cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish him all the best. I hope he beats this and I know he will because he is not a quitter,â&#x20AC;? said Haskins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to play with the hand you are dealt and I know he will.â&#x20AC;? After his year with the Bears, Murray went on to McGill University. Upon his graduation, he later became McGillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletic director and hockey coach. He spent three years as the bench boss of the Pembroke Lumber Kings (1975-78), then onto the AHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hershey Bears (1980-81) before landing his first job in the National Hockey League with the Washington Capitals. He spent eight-and-a-half years with the Caps, capturing the Jack Adams Award as the NHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach of the year in 198384. Murray also spent time in Detroit, Florida and Anaheim before joining the Sens as their head coach in 2004.

ing and open-field tackles. The one main difference is the size of the field is 110 by 40 yards instead of 110 by 60 yards. “It’s a high scoring game and we hope it will generate some interest in the sport,” said Zeeman. “In talking to other teams who have gone to the six-man format it has been fabulous for them and it is very exciting.” He is also hopeful that players in playing for the Beckwith Irish will be interested in playing. “They are coming up and I hope it translates into more players but it is hard to tell,” he said. New challenges The Bears will be playing against four other teams from Bayside, Campbellford, North Hastings and Cobourg, all out of typical driving distance for a team from Carleton Place. However, the schedule thus far only calls for one away game and the Bears will be able to play two games in one day. The rules state that high school

students cannot play more than 60 minutes of contact football in one day; each game is only 30 minutes. Plus, they will only have to play one away game and the other games will be played in Carleton Place. He is still in discussion for transportation but notes that with a smaller team the busing cost would be reduced and he is also looking into having parents drive if he gets permission from the school board and the school. Another challenge is that Zeeman has never coached six-man football before and admits he will have to brush up on a few things. “It’s new to me, it’s a new strategy and I have some learning to do,” said Zeeman. Overall he hopes that people will come out and support the school and watch a few games. “I hope this generates some interest and people come out to watch, even if it’s just out of curiosity,” he stated.

CARRIER OF THE MONTH!

Sports – Football will be back this fall at Carleton Place High School but it might look a little different. In the coming season the senior Bears football team will be fielding a team of six not 12 players and will be competing in the Eastern Ontario Six-A-Side Football League, which is sanctioned by the Ontario Federation of Secondary School Athletics Association. Head coach Van Zeeman says this is the first time the Bears will not field a senior team but the juniors will play with a 12-man roster. “We hope to have a 12-man team but it is hard to tell from year to year,” said Zeeman. About 10 years ago they did have a varsity team made up of players from junior and senior grades. He says there are a number of different reasons they are making

the switch this year, the first is the size of the school. “Our enrollment has been decreasing over the years and that is a big factor,” said Zeeman. Another reason is students have after school jobs, commitments to sports teams outside of school and volleyball runs at the same time as football. “Kids have those choices and when you have lower enrollment it has been divided,” said Zeeman. At the end of last season the senior team was down to only 16 players but they always stayed competitive. “The guys ran out of gas at the end of the games,” said Zeeman. They played only three games last year and lost every game. “We have some good players but just not enough players,” he added. The six-man football game is similar to the 12-man game and it features most of the Canadian rules, including: three downs, focuses on speed, positioning, pass-

In late 2012, Tom Robertson was diagnosed with stage 4 bilateral squamous cell carcinoma in his neck. Treatment started in early 2013.

May and June, 2014

“In between diagnosis and treatment, I saw this cool singlespeed, belt-drive bike at the store and thought that it would be a good idea to make it a goal to ride it after treatment,” said Tom. “But when I was ﬁnished all the radiation and chemo, I had difﬁculty even walking 50 feet, let alone ride a bike.”

Ride the Rideau is The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s signature event. The event, which has raised more than $6.45 million for cancer research over the past

YARD OF THE WEEK

R0012801906/0717

Community – Celebrating 10 years of bringing puppets to Almonte was not enough for the organizers of this year’s festival, to be held Aug. 8 to 10. According to artistic director, Noreen Young, it made sense to pull in other community partners who are also celebrating landmark years. To that end, she invited the Hub to observe their 40th year by sponsoring a theatre venue, and Don St. John, of Don’s Meat Market, 10 years in their present location, to sponsor the everpopular Saturday Night Cabaret. Both partners are thrilled to be front and centre for Puppets Up! International Puppet Festival, and look forward to enjoying a weekend of exceptional entertainment, parades, street performers, and of course puppeteers. The Hub has always taken an active part in Puppets Up!, supplying materials for local puppet workshops and decorating the store to reflect the ambiance of the weekend. To be sponsors of a venue as well as the opening night is an honour. St. John, renowned for his auctioneer patter and emceeing skills is a natural as the sponsor for the adult cabaret. There is no doubt he will be more than a behind-the-scenes personality! Watch for flying cleavers as well as wit. He’s already planning the video! What would Puppets Up! be without the veteran crews from Frogtown

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the festival, 10 years in business for Don’s Meat Market and the Hub’s 40th anniversary, the three are collaborating on different aspects of the festival. Mountain Puppeteers, and Tanglewood Marionettes? Frogtown has been coming since the festival’s inception. However, there are also new faces, including Leslie Cararra-Rudolph and her troupe. Leslie is known for her work on Sesame Street and in many Broadway

productions. Opening night entertainer and festival performer, Veronica Gonzalez of Italy’s Little Feet Theatre will be a show-stopper with fingers and toes all part of the act. Other familiar names are Tim Holland, The Puppet Tamer, Theatre Motus, and Rag and Bone Theatre, who

Steven and Giedre Norris have gardened at their home at 91 Moore Street for 18 years. The outstanding feature of this garden is the Boston ivy that adds a vertical dimension and texture that contrasts so well with the perennial ﬂowerbeds. The handsome glossy rich green leaves of this fast growing ivy change as fall approaches with a vivid range of reds including crimson, scarlet and burgundy. Giedre decided to redesign the front yard and create a perennial garden shortly after the ice storm when several cedars were damaged beyond saving. Peonies and poppies have just ﬁnished a fantastic showing replaced now by daylilies, purple salvia and clematis. Giedre’s favourite time in her perennial garden is spring… when her much loved tulips bloom. To nominate a front yard for Yard of the Week please call Pat 613-253-4932.

Through X-rays and a bone scan, doctors diagnosed her with osteosarcoma. “I think my parents were more afraid than I was,” Serena remembered. “I didn’t think I was going to die.”

“But I am lucky I survived.”

Jazz quartet holds CD release party at Ballygiblin’s this Sunday Community – The Peter Brown Jazz Quartet has been playing the first Thursday of every month at Balllygiblin’s restaurant in Carleton Place for almost three years now. Every month we’ve had a very full house – every seat reserved days in advance – of enthusiastic and very supportive music fans. Some nights, even the bar stools are reserved! Along with the fans, we get good musicians coming to jam with us. Over the past few months, we’ve been joined by two jazz violinists, two trombonists, three bassists, a clarinetist, two tenor saxophonists, three guest drummers, a harmonica player, a guest singer and a guest pianist.

Obviously, not all of these guests showed up on the same night, but our quartet does regularly grow to an octet or a nonet for the last set every month. I am still pleasantly shocked that this event is so popular. I mean: jazz in Carleton Place? One of the reasons is that we play listenerfriendly jazz: standards and jazz classics played melodically: no cacophonous shrieking 40minute sax solos here! Another reason is the high level of musicianship: my colleagues are Don Paterson on trumpet and vocals, Glenn Robb on drums and Dave Arthur on bass. Don is arguably the best trumpet soloist in

the Ottawa area, while Glenn and Dave have been accompanying star performers for decades. The list of artists the three of them have worked with reads like a who’s who of pop music: Benny Goodman, Mel Torme, Ella Fitzgerald, Johnny Mathis, Cab Calloway, Donna Summer, Natalie Cole, Sonny and Cher, Paul Anka and Carol Channing. The piano player in the group at least knows where middle C is and is very happy to working with such skilled veterans. This past fall and winter we’ve had the op-

portunity to record the most popular songs in our repertoire and will be releasing them as the CD Beautiful Love this month. You are extremely encouraged to come out to our CD release party, which will take place at Ballygiblin’s (naturally), 151 Bridge St., Carleton Place on Sunday, July 20, from 6 to 9 p.m. And please come to our regular monthly jazz nights as well – you’ll be glad you did.

MISSISSIPPI MILLS

YARD OF THE WEEK 2610 Hwy. 29, Pakenham Brian and Marg Bourk, who live at 2610 Highway 29 in the Village of Pakenham, have maximized the natural features on their property. A small creek runs through the side yard which they have highlighted by planting shade loving natural species and grooming the natural selection of plants. A quiet sitting area/bridge adds to the tranquility of the setting. A beautiful manmade water feature has been added to enhance the yard and has been planted with a variety of perennials and shrubs. A recently-improved front walkway and small but colourful perennial bed in the front yard invite you in. The lawns and other landscape are well maintained and offer pleasant curb appeal.

Classic Theatre Festival opening a thunderous success Arts – It’s rare to receive unanimous opinion on anything, let along reaction to a theatrical production, but the thunderous response to the opening weekend of the Classic Theatre Festival’s 2014 summer season was not simply a reflection of the wild and windy weather. The Neil Simon comedy Come Blow Your Horn, which follows the antics of two brothers and one very funny family, based on Simon’s own relatives, marked not only the prolific playwright’s Broadway debut, but also the inauguration of the festival’s new playing space at 54 Beckwith Street East (also known as the Good Shepherd Hall of St James the Apostle Anglican Church). Audiences composed of cottagers, local residents, and tourists from as far away as Toronto, Kingston, Ottawa, Montreal, and Watertown, New York gave enthusiastic double thumbs up to the new stage and the manner in which the building has been so thoroughly transformed this summer. Upon arrival, those coming to the new space (located at the intersection of Beckwith East and Harvey Streets) may be greeted by a historic character from the Perth through the Ages Walking tour (including the stunningly adorned turn-of-the-20th-century actress May Bell-Marks or the woman over whom the last fatal duel in Canada was fought, Elizabeth Hughes). Audiences then enter the hallway leading to the box office. Inside, the walls are covered with treasures from Canadian theatre history, including re-

markable archival newspaper stories, production stills, program reproductions, costume designs, and original paintings by legendary Canadian actor and writer Gordon Pinsent. Production photos from the Stratford Festival feature the likes of Lorne Greene, William Shatner, Michael Learned, James Mason, Alan Bates, Julie Harris, and Christopher Plummer. The interior lobby of the theatre hosts original costume designs by the likes of Desmond Heeley, Tanya Moseivitch (who designed the original thrust stage at Stratford), Robert Doyle (the original designer at Halifax’s Neptune Theatre) and a series of Shaw Festival veterans, as well as stunning largescale reproductions of Classic Theatre production shots, including the work of photographer Jean-Denis Labelle. Given the setting of the Simon comedy in 1961, original newspaper and magazine ads for cars, lipsticks, beer, and chewing gum culled from that year appear on wall masking, reminding viewers of the Mad Men era and, in some instances, of the manner in which sexism has always pervaded the sale of products (one ad for Schlitz features a woman crying over a burnt dinner while her husband condescendingly tells her it’s all right by declaring, “At least you didn’t burn the beer.” Other ads feature products such as whiskey toothpaste and a range of items at remarkably low prices, including massive Halloween candy hauls for less than $5 in 1961 currency.

The colourful characters who make up the cast of Neil Simon’s comedy Come Blow Your Horn (Lindsay Robinson, Matthew Gorman, Adrienne Kress, Allan Price, Joanna McAuley Treffers, and Heather Marie Annis), top, are receiving lots of laughs and applause as part of the season opener at the Classic Theatre Festival at 54 Beckwith Street East.

The festival’s popular pre-show talks (which occur at 1:30 p.m. prior to every Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday matinee) take place underneath an open air canopy, allowing attendees a view both of historic St James Church as well as other Perth sights from one of the highest points in town. Additional shows run Wednesday to Saturday at 8 p.m. as well. In addition to its presentation of professional productions of Broadway classics, the Festival continues its five-year tradition of hosting community benefit performances, and those who were able to raise money for worthwhile causes in the season’s first week included groups battling violence against women and sponsoring refugees from Burma as well as the Rotary Club’s End Polio Now campaign and the Civitan Club. Upcoming benefits include the Instruments for Africa group and an organization that sends goats to the people of Haiti.Also included among audience members were recipients of the festival’s long-running Savea-Seat program, which opens up free spaces to low-income residents who otherwise who could not afford to attend professional theatre.“This past

weekend was a wonderful way to officially kick off our fifth anniversary season, from the beautiful jazz music of Clay Young on opening night to the appreciative responses of the packed houses that literally laughed the roof off the building,” says artistic producer Laurel Smith. “It is also a tribute to all the people who worked so hard to put the theatre together, from the dedicated volunteers who donated countless hours of labour to the billet hosts who welcome visiting actors into their homes, as well as our partners and sponsors, which include the Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization, the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund, the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, the Perth & District Community Foundation, Best Western Plus Perth, and TVCogeco.” While tickets for the Neil Simon comedy and the season’s second show (the classic mystery thriller Dial M for Murder are being snapped up quickly, seats are still available, as are spaces for the historic theatrical walking tour.

Precedent setting year for vehicle recalls from GM, Ford, Chrysler and Subaru Lifestyle – Recalls are still in the news with more GM, Ford, Chrysler, and Subaru recalls being announced. Most carmakers offer a recall check by vehicle serial number on their websites. For those that don’t, car owners can simply call an authorized dealership and get the info over the phone. Your vehicle serial or identification number (VIN) is found on your ownership, insurance slip, or on a number of plates and stickers on the vehicle itself. If you don’t visit a dealership on a regular basis, I’d suggest confirming that your car’s manufacturer has your current name and address on file. A dealership or head office customer service department can provide this info or make changes if required. The sheer number of vehicles being recalled this year is precedent setting. While I don’t think carmakers are necessarily building their products in a more careless manner, it is clear that the US government is taking things a lot more seriously than in the past. Mary Barra the current president of General Motors has appeared before so many Washington committees that she is in line to get her own personal chair and table (just kidding). In my humble opinion, other carmakers are looking at the treatment GM is getting in front of these committees and they are looking to avoid that at all costs.

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

No matter what you drive, make sure your auto maker has your name and address and keep your mailbox clear. “Hello Mr. Turner, I read an article that you wrote in the EMC a while back concerning the timing chain on a 2003 Toyota Echo. I believe you had said this model of vehicle did not have a timing chain but a belt that never needs to be replaced. Yesterday my 2003 Toyota Echo was towed into a Canadian Tire service department in Toronto. It wouldn’t start and they said it needed a new battery. When they tried to start it, it made a squealing sound. As well they said we would need the timing chain replaced and since they would have the engine apart and labour would not cost more, we should replace the water pump at the same time. When I questioned why the timing chain was being replaced and since I didn’t believe it had a timing chain, they said it may be a belt and that it would only have to be realigned. They also said we would have to purchase

A typical timing chain on a vehicle. the kit either way to repair it. The final cost would be over $800. Am I correct to question their estimate?” Thanks CB Thanks for the question. First, your Toyota Echo has a timing

chain (not a belt). Chains do not require periodic replacement; belts do (usually every 100,000 km). As for the confusion on the part of the service counter person (belt versus chain) he or she may simply not have the knowledge on your particular vehicle.

That doesn’t necessarily mean the technician who would be doing the job is unqualified. If the chain has failed, it may have done more damage than the estimate indicates (which seems fair by the way). See CAR page 55

Begin Again tells a heartfelt journey MOVIE: Begin Again STARRING: Keira Knightley, Mark Ruffalo, Adam Levine, James Corden, Hailee Steinfeld and Catherine Keener DIRECTOR: John Carney RATING: 14A Arts - It’s curious where life can sometimes takes you. You think you’re going one place but you end up somewhere else. Something happens or you meet someone, and your life is changed forever. This is what Begin Again is about. Dan (Mark Ruffalo) is a legendary record producer, or at least he used to be. These days he’s a cranky divorced alcoholic who’s only a couple of steps away from being homeless. He’s been fired from his job, his daughter is disgusted by him, and his relationship with his ex is strained to say the least. Then he wanders into a bar with an open mic, and hears Greta (Keira Knightley). Greta came to New York with her boyfriend Dave (Adam Levine) who had just signed with a major record label. The two were lovers, song writing partners and the world seemed to open before them. Then Dave began recording and got a taste of fame, and it all changed. He

My Take MARK HASKINS

cheated on Greta, and she left. Then she finds herself with a friend in a bar at an open mic night singing in front of a legendary record producer. Dan wants to sign her instantly. Of course he has no power or means to do anything, and tells Greta exactly that. Yet for some reason Greta gives Dan a chance, and the two embark on this musical journey. They decide to skip the record deal, skip the demo tape, hire some musicians, and just make an album. They record Greta’s songs all over New York and it’s magic. The kind of magic that transforms the listener, and transforms the people making it. Begin Again is this wonderful mix of storytelling, acting and music. It’s a beautiful character piece about these two people searching without understanding what they’re searching for, but helping each other find it. It

flirts with the usual Hollywood formula, but doesn’t fall into it. The performances are full of raw, real emotion. The music is incredible. It’s funny, it’s heartwarming, it’s just a truly beautiful film. Hailee Steinfeld, Catherine Keener, Cee-Lo Green and Mos Def are an amazing supporting cast. James Corden is especially good with just the right line at just the right time. As an actor Adam Levine does a fair job. The role isn’t exactly a stretch, but he’s good none-the-less. As a singer Adam Levine is incredible. When he’s singing he pours out his soul, and delivers a performance any actor would envy. Sometimes when two great actors come together they have a special connection or chemistry, and what happens in front of the camera after that is magic. This is what happens between Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo. Individually they have created these amazing, complex and interesting characters. Together they light up the screen. Simply put Begin Again is a beautiful film on every single level. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

There may also be another cause to the chain’s failure which could indicate deeper damage (seized camshaft bearings for example). I’d suggest having the shop pull the timing cover to see if there is any more damage. If things are too bad you could consider a used engine or scrapping the vehicle altogether. Make sure you have a written warranty on any work that ends up being done. When I passed this along to our

The current Lansdowne construction project employs the latest technology to accomplish new heights in creative design, engineering and energy conservation. It’s not the first time that the site has drawn attention. Innovative construction techniques used in the construction of the Civic Centre actually were a tourist attraction. In the summer of 1966, the large beams required for the $8.5M Civic Centre began arriving at Lansdowne Park. The immense beams, fabricated by the Dominion Bridge Company in Montreal, were too large to transport by truck so they were floated up the Ottawa River and down the Rideau Canal by barge. As there was only one beam per barge, the flotilla attracted the attention of onlookers as the beams arrived and were put into place.

A new era in Ottawa’s entertainment legaacy is unfolding. The revitalized stadium at Lansdowne, nnow known as TD Place, re-opens Friday JJuly 18 when CFL Football returns with the Ottawa REDBLACKS hosting the Toronto O Argonauts. A The event kicks off a year of new beginnnings at Lansdowne, starting with the staddium. TD Place is a year-round entertainment venue, hosting large outdoor concerts and performances in the stadium, and mediumsized shows and events in the arena. With a colourful history dating back to the 19th century, TD Place at Lansdowne has witnessed CFL and Grey Cup drama, FIFA Women’s World Cup games, FIFA U-20 World Cup games, as well as notable performances by the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Supertramp and the Tragically Hip. The stadium at TD Place has been transformed into a 24,000-seat venue, highlighted by a striking and innovative new south stand veil made of Alaskan yellow cedar, a completely refurbished north stand, all-new playing surface and high tech scoreboards with in-stadium signage and services. The CFL Ottawa REDBLACKS and NASL Ottawa Fury FC will both play their inaugural 2014 seasons at the stadium at TD Place.

TD Place Stadium at Lansdowne Park dential. Since the beginning the redevelopment of Lansdowne has been in keeping with its historic role as a gathering place for the community while modernizing its facilities and uses for today’s residents. A key goal of the Lansdowne Partnership Plan is to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certiﬁcation. This is a voluntary, consensus-based standard for developing high-performance sustainable buildings, assessed over six categories covering sustainability, water, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality and innovation. A critical element of certiﬁcation is accessibility. From the start, the Lansdowne construction and design team followed the principles of Universal Design to provide the highest level of accessibility possible and creating areas and spaces that can be used by everyone, including those with and without disabilities. One example is that there are few changes in grade levels. Having sidewalks and roadways at the same level makes it easier for everyone to move around. It also

makes it safer to cross streets for people with walkers, wheelchairs and scooters. The sidewalks and roads at the site have bumps and grit in certain areas to let people with disabilities know that they are approaching another roadway or sidewalk. All benches, water fountains, and other structures have been placed away from each other to allow plenty of room for people to pass by. Taxis and Para Transpo are able to drop people off close to the stadium and seating at the site has been designed to allow for everyone to sit together with plenty of space. Accessible washrooms have also been added to the football stadium.

ing Championships, and performances by leading acts from around the world. It has been transformed with all-new premium seating, state-of-the-art scoreboard and digital signage. The Ontario Hockey League’s Ottawa 67’s return home to TD Place in September. The plan to revitalize Lansdowne started in 2009, in a series of initiatives approved by Ottawa Council. Council voted to proceed with the redevelopment of Lansdowne June 28, 2010 through a partnership of the City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group. Lansdowne includes the refurbished stadium and former Civic Centre, a large urban park as well as a mixed-use area featuring 360,000 square feet of retail shops and services, ofﬁces and residences. The retail is slated to open in the fall and the residences should be ready for occupancy in spring 2015. In creating the Lansdowne project, the City of Ottawa established principals that included pursuing a higher standard of design and sustainability for new elements in the redevelopment. The ﬁnal design, landscape and architectural plans were reviewed by a panel of experts and City representatives to ensure integration of all areas of the site Workers spread some of the more than 100,000 cubic metres of cement that retail, park, public space, stadium and resihas been poured across the site to build the infrastructure of Lansdowne.

Toyota Echo owner by email, I got this reply… “Thanks for your advice Brian. When the mechanic looked at the car today he said it was not a timing issue but the engine would need to be replaced ($1,600 for labour plus parts). With over 300,000 km on this vehicle I feel investing any more money would not be a good investment. I would certainly recommend this type of car to anyone though. It very rarely cost much for repairs and a minimal cost for maintenance. I appreciate your advice and thank you again.”

More than 10,000 Ontario drivers involved in collisions with animals every year, says OPP News – Ontario boasts some of the most scenic driving for those who live in and visit the province’s vast rural communities, but it comes with a cost with more than 10,000 drivers a year being involved in wildlife collisions. Over the past five years (2009 to 2013), close to 60,000 wildlife collisions were reported to the OPP. Nineteen of the people involved in these collisions died and more than 2,200 of them sustained injuries. OPP data show

that spring and fall are times when motorists driving in rural areas need to be extra cautious as wildlife becomes more active. It is important to remember that deer, moose and elk crossing signs are only posted where there are frequent sightings or crossings, however these animals can be seen anywhere at any time. Drivers should therefore maintain a heightened level of awareness when driving in rural areas that are absent of these signs.

Leave the car bike or walk the paths of Lansdowne

The OPP is reminding motorists that they can take precautions to reduce their risk of a collision with wildlife: Scan the road ahead from shoulder to shoulder. Moose, elk and deer are particularly active in the spring, especially at dawn and dusk, as they search for food. Deer rarely travel alone, so when motorists see one there are likely more nearby. Watch your speed and be careful when driving at night. Slowing down

will give you more time to respond. Avoiding driving after dark when possible can greatly reduce the risk of colliding with an animal. Brake firmly if an animal is standing on or crossing the road, stopping if necessary. Swerving to avoid hitting a wild animal may result in loss of control and a more serious collision. If you do encounter large wildlife such as deer, moose, elk or bears on the road and can safely avoid hitting them, do so, but be

absolutely certain that oncoming traffic or soft shoulders do not put you and others at risk. Do not direct your full attention to the animal when you take measures to avoid hitting it, because this almost always results in colliding with the animal.

Ottawa Councillor David Chernushenko lead a cycling rally July 6 from the Glebe Community Centre to promote the opening of Lansdowne as a destination for Ottawa cyclists, both for major events and for everyday use. DAVID JOHNSTON

Lansdowne is designed to be cycling friendly. Getting to Lansdowne on foot or by bike has never been easier and a new series of pathways make navigating the site simple and safe from all across the city. Many pathways have been added during Lansdowne’s rehabilitation. These pathways connect to the existing NCC pathway to provide greater park access to residents on bike and on foot. Kilometres of new pathways run throughout Lansdowne and will take you to the various buildings, outdoor event spaces and parkland. Bike racks are conveniently located throughout Lansdowne with enough onsite parking for more than 600 bicycles. The pathways at Lansdowne are shared spaces. Pedestrians, cyclists and cars will all share the roadway. Pedestrians will always have the right of way, followed by cyclists. Car access will be limited. These wide pathways make it easier for everyone to move around freely and experience Lansdowne. The site is fully accessible for people with disabilities. Cyclists can enter the site through any of the new pathways and on game days and for special events, cyclists will be encouraged to use a new pathway extension off Queen Elizabeth Driveway near the Horticulture Building, to be completed by late fall. This path will bring cyclists to the biking park area, where they can securely leave their bikes during larger events. Secure bike parking is free with a game ticket. There is space for an additional 750 bikes in the secure lot. On normal days, cyclists and pedestrians can move freely through the site on paths together. When the site is busy, cyclists should dismount and walk their bikes for everyone’s safety. R0012798471-0717

The winter of 2013-2014 was brutal in Ottawa. Long and harsh, the icy chill bit deep into 5,300 workers on site to create the new Lansdowne. But that didn’t stop construction. Crews remained hard at work on the stadium, underground parking garage and urban park to keep on schedule for the re-opening of the redeveloped 80-acre site. Innovative construction techniques such as ground-heating machines and insulating tarps were used to advance work through frigid winter months. “I can’t say it went without problems, but the project team is so dedicated that we are able to overcome every obstacle. That’s what gets you through the dark days,” said Maro Manconi, City of Ottawa Manager, Design & Construction at Lansdowne. On site working out of a trailer since the fall of 2012, Manconi has watched the new Lansdowne emerge. From the drama of moving the landmark Horticulture Building from its original location 150 metres to the east, to coordinating the pouring of infrastructure concrete from an onsite mixing plant, the project has moved forward at a steady pace. There are over 50 contractors currently involved in the construction at Lansdowne. Some of these include: Pomerleau Inc. - General Contractor and Overall Site Management; MHPM - Project Managers for OSEG; D&G Landscaping - Urban Park contractor; Minto Residential and Commercial - for the Ofﬁce Tower; Trinity - Overall Retail Development; Doran; Laurin and Massicotte. “We have a motivated team, and that’s keeps this project going.” Moving an historic structure is no easy feat. The relocation process had to be carefully planned to protect the integrity of the building. By the time it was ready to move, the building weighed 1,700 tonnes, including the 480 tonnes of steel beams installed inside for strength and support. It was raised 90 cm with hydraulic jacks onto 48 dollies – each carrying more than 32 tonnes.

City of Ottawa Project Manager Marco Manconi surveys progress on the 18-acre urban park adjacent to the new TD Place stadium and arena. The move took about a week as workers stopped it every five to 10 feet to recalibrate the wheels and ensure that the Horticulture Building arrived precisely at its new home. The building’s heritage designation was removed to allow for the move, but it will be redesignated. “The new location ensures the Horticulture Building will not be overshadowed by taller new commercial buildings on the site. Instead, it will be an architectural anchor for the new urban park, standing in a prominent position near the Rideau Canal. It will reclaim its role as a community gathering place, much as it was when it opened 100 years ago.” The Aberdeen Pavilion, among Ottawa’s most recognizable buildings, is Canada’s last large-scale exhibition building surviving from the 19th century. “The Aberdeen Pavilion and Horticulture Building now create a heritage gateway that focuses the role of both buildings as a community space.” Though Lansdowne is geared toward pedestrian traffic, there is an underground parking garage with about 1,300 parking spaces over approximately 11 acres, stretching from Queen Elizabeth Drive to Bank Street. There are two main vehicle entrances and exits to the garage – one from Queen Elizabeth Drive and a second off of Bank Street, near the stadium. Parking will service the retail component of Lansdowne as well as providing restricted on-site event parking. An entrance for residents only will Workers rolled out the first piece of turf at centre field of TD Place Stadium.

The interlocking stone that stretches across the square has been patterned to resemble Algonquin basketry and food vessels. This interpretive element is inspired by the care and respect paid to food by Algonquins and is set within the heart of the Ottawa Farmer’s Market. The Teaching Circle, south of the rink at the east edge of the property, is another location for visitors to connect with Algonquin culture. Lansdowne’s history is rich with examples of teaching and exhibition and the Teaching Circle will allow for interaction between the Park’s history and that of the Algonquins. Seven Trees of Significance surround the Teaching Circle. Identified by botanical markers and highlighted by interpretive panels, identifying and describing their significance to Algonquin culture, the seven trees are: Eastern White Cedar, Paper Birch, Trembling Aspen, Sugar Maple, Basswood, White Spruce, and Tamarack. The Civic Demonstration Gardens, to be planted in spring 2015, will feature an ethno-botanical garden to feature plant species significant to the Algonquins of Ontario that are of ceremonial, medicinal or practical use. All of these features are intended to not only beautify the square, but also to help educate visitors about Algonquin history, culture and art.

Building Lansdowne Horticulture Building regains former glory Transport Demand Management As Lansdowne welcomes visitors this summer, the Horticulture Building will be in the middle of a major restoration. By the end of the year, it will retake its rightful place as a prominent community space. Work is underway to restore this landmark and to make it an architectural anchor for Lansdowne. It will retake its role as a place for community to gather, through farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; markets, festivals, sports and other cultural events. The Horticulture Building was built in 1914 to the designs of Francis C. Sullivan and Allan Keefer. Its place in Canadian architectural history is important given that Sullivan was the only Canadian student of Frank Lloyd Wright. He brought Wrightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prairie Style to Canada in this buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design elements: horizontal lines, hipped roofs with broad overhanging eaves, and windows grouped in horizontal bands. The building has undergone considerable change â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a workshop was added to the east side in the 1940s, ice was added in 1969 for curling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but it has remained a public

space. Many Ottawa residents have fond memories of the building as a central site for curling and other public events. While it received heritage designation in 1989, the building was neglected over the past 20 years. It had been reduced to a storage facility, deteriorating to the point that the public was no longer permitted inside. The heritage designation was brieďŹ&#x201A;y rescinded between 1991 and 1994 to allow for the removal of the workshop, which was not part of the original design. As part of the Lansdowne redevelopment, the landmark Horticulture Building was moved from its original location 150 metres to the east. Together with the Aberdeen Pavilion, the building now creates a heritage gateway that focuses the role of both buildings as a community space. The relocation process had to be carefully planned to protect the integrity of this historically signiďŹ cant building but in November 2012 the move was successfully completed.

One of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic treasures, The Aberdeen Pavilion, is the last large-scale exhibition building in Canada surviving from the 19th century. When it opened its doors in 1898 at the dawn of the 20th century, its large, column-free interior made it the ideal space to house the Central Canada Exhibition and to promote advancements in agriculture and livestock. Named for staunch agricultural supporter Governor General, the Earl of Aberdeen, it was so associated with agriculture that it became known as the Cattle Castle almost immediately. It became a showcase for Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burgeoning manufacturing sector, earning another moniker: the Manufacturersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Building. It was also one of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earliest community skating rinks and the site of the Ottawa Silver Seven 1904 Stanley Cup victory. During the Boer War and both World Wars, it was a staging ground for troops prior to deployment overseas. By the time it received Ontario heritage designation in 1982 and as a National Historic Site in Canada in 1983, it had fallen into disuse. In 1992, Ottawa undertook a major refurbishment, restoring the Aberdeen Pavilion to its original splendour, with funding from the governments of Canada and Ontario. Successfully combining the practical with the fanciful, the refurbished building now captures the holiday atmosphere of a 19th-century fair. It remains a visual centrepiece for the redeveloped Lansdowne and an important link to Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past.

The Aberdeen Pavillion stills stands out as an Ottawa landmark in the newly re-designed Lansdowne. With its impressive sweeping roof, dome, corner towers and classical details, the building â&#x20AC;&#x201C; designed by Ottawa architect Moses C. Edey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is a centrepiece at Lansdowne. The century old building will serve a wide variety of community uses.

There is a long a colourful history rooting Lansdowne in the agricultural community. The Ottawa Valley Farm Show got its start when the newly formed Ottawa Valley Seed Growers Association sponsored its ďŹ rst seed fair at Renfrew Collegiate in 1927. Rotating each year throughout Eastern Ontario and Western Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rural communities, the seed fairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success soon outgrew smaller venues. In 1959, the show

moved to Lansdowne Park and for the ďŹ rst time, Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest-running agricultural trade show had a permanent location. With more space at the Lansdowne Park location, large farm equipment manufacturers soon saw the opportunity to set up displays of new farm machinery. This became a major attraction for visitors to the show in conjunction with the OVSGA. The show expanded to six exhibit areas including the entire Civic Centre ďŹ&#x201A;oor and concourse, the heritage building, and the Aberdeen Pavilion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; widely known as the Cattle Castle.

The Ottawa Valley Farm Show remained at Lansdowne Park until 2011 when it relocated to the Ernst & Young Centre in the south end of the city due to the redevelopment of Lansdowne. The OVFS remains a spring tradition for the agricultural and rural communities. With over 300 exhibitors, the show includes displays by livestock breed associations, 4-H exhibits, arts and crafts, farm toys and books, tools, equipment, and the fundraising Pedigreed Seed Sale for the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

Building Lansdowne Lansdowne stands proud of its war support record Lansdowne Park has been a gathering place for well over 100 years but three times in the last century it served as a gathering place for troops going to Canada’s foreign military missions. The opening of the Aberdeen Pavilion for the 10th Annual Central Canada Exhibition of 1898 showcased the development of this unique site into a signiﬁcant national and international venue and set the stage for a gathering of military forces. From 1899 to 1901 Lansdowne was used as a staging site for troops of the Lord Strathcona’s Horse. Soldiers were encamped on the site before shipping out to what is today South Africa to join the British Army against the Dutch South Africans, known as Boers.

With the outbreak of the Boer War in October 1899, the government of Canada responded by recruiting, equipping and transporting two contingents of volunteers to serve with the British forces in South Africa. Over the next three years, more than 7,000 Canadians, including 12 women nurses, served overseas. The war is a key event in the military history of Canada the first time that Canada dispatched troops to an overseas war and it started at the exhibition grounds at Lansdowne. Only 15 years later, at midnight on August 4, 1914, Britain was at war and that meant Canada was at war. Prime Minister Robert Borden offered Canadian assistance to Great Britain and called for a supreme national effort. With an outpouring of patriotic support, Canada mobilized quickly. Less than two weeks later on August 23, 1914, the new Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) Regiment paraded for the first time at Lansdowne Park. The Park was taken over by the Department of National Defence for use in training troops. The Regiment was the first Canadian infantry unit to head overseas and arrived in France on December 21, 1914. Following the declaration of war, about 3,000 applicants were recruited and by August 19 a full complement of 1,098 had been selected. Captain Andrew A An drew dr ew Hamilton Hamilton Gault, Gaault, a prominent Montreal

businessman, raised the regiment out of his own funds with a contribution of $100,000, (equivalent to more than $2 million in 2014), making the PPCLI the last privately raised regiment in Canada. Military connections to Lansdowne were wellestablished by the time the Second World War began. During World War II, Lansdowne served as an induction centre for thousands of Canadians enlisting to ﬁght overseas. It became home to The Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa and the 4th Hussars of Canada, who later became the 4th Reconnaissance Battalion (4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards). When Canada declared war on September 10, 1939, The Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada had already begun to mobilize and was at full strength of 807 within one week. The 1st Battalion embarked for overseas on December 16, 1940 and arrived in the UK on Christmas Eve. The 4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards deployed in 1941. Both regiments served in multiple campaigns during the war. The Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa continued as a regiment following the WWII. With their long history of service in the capital, they were granted the Freedom of the City on May 24, 1969. This is the highest honour conferred by a city council upon a military unit.

Centre for Sustainable Watersheds, Canadian Wildlife Federation expand Love Your Lake program News – The Centre for Sustainable Watersheds (CSW) and the Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) are launching the 2014 season of their Love Your Lake program with returning regional partners -- the Muskoka Watershed Council, City of Greater Sudbury, Lakeland Alliance and new partner the Coalition of Haliburton Property Owners’ Association. Love Your Lake is a shoreline survey and stewardship program that provides

shoreline property owners with resources to help improve the health of their shoreline and their lake. This program is coordinated by CWF and CSW, who work with regional partners and lake associations to deliver it locally. Regional partners will work with local lake associations in Sudbury, Muskoka, eastern Ontario, Haliburton and Kawarthas to be part of the program. Trained staff will assess shorelines of participating lakes by boat on

a property-by-property basis using a standardized shoreline survey protocol. Property owners will receive access to a confidential personalized property report about the state of their unique shoreline. Each personalized report includes voluntary actions the property owner can take to improve their shoreline health. Lake associations will also receive a general lake level report with voluntary community level stewardship opportunities.

Shorelines are one of the most unique places on earth and people’s influences can have a huge impact on these delicate interfaces. Daily actions by all individuals can help conserve our lakes. Keeping shorelines healthy and natural is the easiest way to protect water quality. This not only helps maintain or improve property values but also provides cleaner, clearer water for recreational activities like swimming and boating. “Landowners do love their lake,”

says CSW’s program and communications co-ordinator Kelsey Jensen, “but they often ask what specific steps they can take for better, more natural, care of their waterfronts. The simple suggestions offered through the Love Your Lake program answer this question with several voluntary, cost-effective solutions appropriate to each unique property.” For more information, visit LoveYourLake.ca.

Building Lansdowne

Lansdowne, History in the Making for our future. The new Lansdowne offers a host of features unimagined in 1868, but has held true to its origins as a place of community and commerce. The new Urban Park, with over 800 trees and acres of new greenspace, will be visited by residents and their guests for decades to come. I wonder what the next ‘ﬁrst’ at Lansdowne will be. Looking to the legacy of Lansdowne’s heroes past, the ingenuity of Thomas Ahearn, the tenacity of Frank McGee and the nobility of Hamilton Gault, and each of the tens of thousands of veterans who have called Lansdowne home, we know that the possibilities are limited only by our imagination and determination. Lansdowne will continue to be a place where history is made. I encourage every resident of Ottawa to come, and not just experience Lansdowne’s renaissance, but to help build it as well.

By Mayor Jim Watson For the past 146 years, Lansdowne Park has been one of Ottawa’s most important civic sites. It has hosted agricultural fairs, exhibitions, festivals, concerts and sporting events. At Lansdowne, the Silver Seven brought the Stanley Cup to Ottawa, the 67’s the Memorial Cup, and the Rough Riders the Grey Cup. Lansdowne has been the site of many ﬁrsts, for our city and our country. The electric stove, light bulb and telephone all made their Canadian debut here in Ottawa, at Lansdowne. Lansdowne has, at times, served a more solemn purpose, as a staging area for troops being deployed overseas, or a mass funeral for a fallen police ofﬁcer.

Football legacy

CIT Y O

TD Place at Lansdowne is ready to kick off a new era of football in the Capital. The Ottawa RedBlacks are the newest addition to the Canadian Football League. Though the team has a new name, it still maintains the traditional colours that link it to a long and rich history. The Ottawa Football Club came into existence in 1876 and alternated between the Ontario and Quebec Rugby Football Unions. After being suspended for rough play in 1897, the Ottawa Football Club reorganized itself into the Ottawa Rough Riders, and adopted the red and black colours of the Canadian Regiment in the Spanish-American War. In 1909, the Rough Riders moved their games from Metropolitan Grounds to Lansdowne, where the team called home until it folded in 1996. However, when the team won its ﬁrst Grey Cup in 1925 and its second in 1926, they were known as the Ottawa Senators. The team had changed their name the previous year after amalgamating with St. Brigid’s, which played in the city league. In 1927, the team reverted back to the Ottawa Rough Riders. Lansdowne would continue to be their home over the years, with such hall-of-famers as Tony Golab, Russ Jackson, Tony Gabriel, Tom Clements and Coach Frank Clair. They would win seven more Grey Cups, in 1940, 1951, 1960, 1968, 1969, 1973 and 1976. Football made a brief return from 2002 to 2005 with the Ottawa Renegades. And now it’s back at Lansdowne where the spirit has always remained.

Lansdowne saw hockey’s Stanley Cup hoisted for Ottawa Over its long history, the Stanley Cup has been hoisted in many iconic buildings the Montreal Forum, the Olympiad in Detroit, the Boston Garden – and the Aberdeen Pavilion at Lansdowne. In 1904 the Ottawa Hockey Club, later the Senators and also known as the Silver Seven, were the defending Stanley Cup champions and considered the premier hockey team in Canada. Ottawa had a reputation as a rough team and featured such stars as the Gilmour brothers, Bouse Hutton, and Frank McGee. Three teams challenged Ottawa that year for hockey’s Holy

Grail – the Winnipeg Rowing Club, Toronto Marlboroughs, and the Brandon Wheat Kings. Ottawa defeated the Winnipeg in the ﬁrst series, two games to one. Game Three ranked as the bloodiest Stanley Cup game at that time. The Ottawa team won the Stanley Cup on home ice at the Aberdeen Pavilion that year and again in 1905. Each player received a pocket watch to commemorate their victory. One of the watches is held at the City of Ottawa Archives. Many old arenas, like the Boston Garden and Detroit Olympiad, no longer stand. But like the pocket watch, the Aberdeen Pavilion still captures the glory of hockey’s early years. R0012799688-0717

Thank you to those musicians who keep passing it along Their friendship blossomed with Steve often sharing dinner and fun times with Ralph and his family. Steve Forster was the editor for the Perth Courier for many years, later professor in the journalism program at Algonquin College, Ottawa. He was also a Perth town councillor and a big supporter of Stewart Park Festival. Though Steve loved to write, his passion was playing music and I watched him many a time at local bars or fundraisers, his band Power Snooze laying down some great bluesy tracks. I remember in my early days meeting Steve. He brought over his guitar to my rec room and I was blown away how someone who had a speech stutter could sing so clearly without even the hint of one. He played many times for us. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I share all this history. I arrive at Ralphâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and, in sharing, I indicated one of my sons is looking for an amp to play his guitar through. Without a pause, Ralph asks if a certain amp he names might be of some use to him. I tell him it might be and text my son. My son Lucas responds right away positively and, after sharing his response with Ralph, I ask why. Well, it turns out when Steve was near the end of his life, knowing Ralph enjoyed dabbling with a couple of guitars and a keyboard he had, Steve gave Ralph said amp and now, since he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t using it any longer wanted to pass it along to someone else might be able to use it. Steve was that kind of a guy and Ralph

wanted to carry on Steveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generosity. You never knew when Steve would bring over something he knew youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like, an album, a tape, a movie. Ralph recounted Steve being present one day when one of Ralphâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sons expressed an interest in taking up bass guitar. The next day Steve appeared with a bass guitar he had at home and offered it to the son. That son is Dawson Willsey and he has been playing bass ever since in bands, at one point, touring across Canada with Brock Zeman. That quick response by Steve lit a spark that continues to this day in Dawson and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Ralph was so quick to want to pass along a bit of Steveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage to Lucas who, he knew, would appreciate. My son tried the amp and gratefully accepted it, his fond memories of Steve glowing yet humbled at Ralphâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generosity. My son and I were so touched by Ralphâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carrying on the tradition in honour of his late friend Steveâ&#x20AC;Śpassing it on. Interestingly, just a few days later, while listening to the Blue Skies Fiddle Orchestra at the Canada Day Festivities

at Conlon Farm, their illustrious leader, Cindy McCall, explained the orchestra has a lending library of instruments for those wanting to try out playing before they make the big investment. They apparently have scaled down fiddles for kids too. What a wonderful way to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pass it alongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by donating unused instruments to such a great causeâ&#x20AC;Śpossibly lighting that musical flame in someone else. As I tour around hearing acoustic musicians, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often a story told of the history of the instrument theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing. Guitars being passed down through a family, instruments having been found in attics or basements and shared with those who would use it. The stories are endless. Denis Keldie, accordionist with the Russell deCarle Trio, tells one of playing out west with the band and being booked into a B&B. He was having trouble with his accordion so their host offered him the use of his that had not been played in a long time. He reluctantly but politely agreed to try it and was amazed when such a high quality instrument was presented. He gratefully went on to use it for their show that evening. The next morning the B&B host asked if Denis would take his instrument with him as he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t using it and wanted it to go to a good home where it would be played. Denis humbly accepted. Pianist, teacher, ex-Skydigger, Michael Johnston had a grand piano left to him by a family member and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

fit it into his apartment so found a home for it for a few years where it would be played at Hughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Room in Toronto until he was able to make room in his own larger abode... passing it along. World touring artist, Jaron FreemanFox, a truly gifted young fiddler, plays a violin the late, great Oliver Schroer gave him as well as a pair of Oliverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s red shoes that he usually wears onstage. Jaron studied and was encouraged by Oliver so it seemed like the perfect hands for his violin to end up in...passing it along. Musical instruments are often expensive and so people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always have the funds to get what they need to express themselves in a musical way. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gratifying to know there are people like Steve Forster, Ralph Willsey, others (and maybe even you) who care enough about keeping music alive in our communities by passing it along. Thanks to those who do. Upcoming events â&#x20AC;˘ Stewart Park Festival in Perth, July 18, 19 and 20. Go to www.stewartparkfestival.com for more details and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see the wonderful line-up with Danny Michel, The Bills, Sultans of String, JW Jones, John Gorka, Amanda Bon, Long Sault Trio, Alysha Brilla, Fiddlefire, Amelia Curran, and more. Entry is by donation in the park. After Hours happens as well with many of the groups playing in various venues around town at night. Support live music everywhere.

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; When you hang at all around the music scene you see sharing and offers of support happening all the time. Oops, forgot my capo and someone throws over their extra. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen many of these type responses, be it equipment, sharing rooms, food, rides, contacts. It is quite the musical community in and around us. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been impressed and a bit in awe of the apparent support musicians seem to provide one another. I remember David Gavin Baxter being onstage at Stewart Park Festival, breaking a string and Joey Wright standing beside me side stage, running away and returning, handing his guitar up to David so he could play more and not worry about having to change a string. Classy. This is but one of so many Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve witnessed backstage over the years. Encouragement and acknowledgement are also shared, benefiting all involved. Pretty special. And then it happens to you... Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve written before about a friend of mine whom I shared a mutual friend with and, since our mutual friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing, he and I try to meet weekly to talk about music, our lives, families and at some point, hoist one to remember our now missed friend. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to believe weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing this for the past 11 years. My friend, Ralph Willsey, was originally a journalist crony of the late Steve Forster, when they both worked for different papers covering Perth and area.

Community – The Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum hosted a Picnic Like It’s 1914 event on the museum’s grounds July 12. People had the opportunity to gain a better understanding of what it was like the last summer before the First World War. Above, the museum encouraged people to dress up and post their selfies to social media; here Sarah Lepine takes a selfie with one of the period hats. Right, Kirk Armstrong entertained the crowd.
