Musicians withdraw from Dandelion Festival over TransCanada sponsorship Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
Dandelion Festival organizers solicited sponsorship from TransCanada, prompting Kemptville musicians to withdraw their performances. Three acts scheduled to perform at the 2015 Dandelion Festival - John Carroll, Bella Borealis and George
Buys - withdrew from the festival, after discovering TransCanada contributed $5,000 to the popular festival. Lisa Poushinsky, one of the four local members of Bella Borealis, said the musicians found out about the TransCanada sponsorship during the 8th annual Sustainability Fair on April 26. “We were really surprised,

definitely,” said Poushinsky. “All of us said right then and there, we didn’t want to play in a festival supported by TransCanada.” She explained the group members are opposed to the Energy East Pipeline, which is proposed to run through a section of North Grenville, because it’s bad for the area. “It’s basically a risk we have the right to say no to,” said Poushinsky. “There’s no benefit and a long list of ecological concerns. Even a tiny leak could contaminate water down to Bishops Mills.” Bella Borealis was loosely scheduled to perform at the festival on Sunday May 24, at 11 a.m. “With our press release, we broke our contract,” said Poushinsky. “If the sponsorship is removed, then they would have to ask us to play again and we would.” See SNG page K4

Tay Valley Township resident acclaimed as Green candidate on April 28 desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Environmental activist Anita Payne is taking her game to the next level as the new Green Party candidate for the Oct. 19 federal election. Payne was acclaimed as the choice of her fellow Greens during a meeting at McMartin House in Perth last Wednesday night, April 29. “I was actually quite amazed that they had 30 people out,” she said, during a telephone interview on Monday, May 4. “People came from all over,” including north Lanark County, Frontenac County, and down near Sydenham. While she has never run federally, the Tay Valley Township resident has three provincial runs under her belt – all in three different ridings across the province. She ran for the Greens in PerthWellington in 2007, when she lived in Stratford, and in Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock in 2011, where she lived on her the farm of her brother-in-law for the month-long campaign (all while selling her Stratford home). Her most recent run was in last year’s provincial vote when she was the Green candidate in Prince Edward-Hastings. “All of the ridings have been mainly rural,” she points out, and she did live in the Perth area in the 1990s. She jokes that she told party members in this riding that she “will be the back-up candidate…I was trying to get

ting elected,” said Payne. Asked if such a sea change could happen here, she laughed and said, “anything can happen, right? The polls aren’t always right.” She anticipates a lot of issues to come to the fore over the next five-anda-half months, and she hopes to address the “slashed” or changed laws that were voted on as part of the 400-plus page omnibus Bill C-38, which saw about 76 different pieces of environmental legislation altered. As a former teacher, she said she is concerned by the federal government’s “muzzling and firing of scientists and cutting funding,” especially when it concerns climate change. “The Harper government does not want to hear the facts, or, they want their opinions to be the facts,” she said. Not surprisingly for a Green, other environmental issues are also top of mind for her list of campaign issues. “We need to keep fossil fuels in the ground if we want to avoid catastrophic climate change,” she said. She called

vincial election, and on the day of the Prince Edward Island vote, where party leader Peter Bevan-Baker, a dentist, was elected as the island’s first Green Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) for the riding of Kelly’s Cross-Cumberland. It was only the second time in the island’s history that an MLA other than a Liberal or a Progressive Conservative was elected to the legislature. (Back in September, Greens celebrated when their leader in New Brunswick, David Coons, was elected as the MLA for Fredericton South.) In Alberta, it appeared that the Progressive Conservative dynasty that had ruled the province since 1971 was headed for defeat – at the hands of the New Democratic Party, of all parties (the polls closed out west after our newspaper went to press). And, by the time you read this on Thursday, May 7, voters in the English riding of Brighton Pavilion will be casting ballots, deciding if Britain’s first elected Green MP, Caroline Lucas, elected in 2010, will be re-elected – and if any other Greens will be joining her. “It’s exciting because Greens are get-

Residents protest against steep hydro rate increases in Ontario Judi Wilson of Mallorytown, partially paralyzed on her ride side from a stroke, joined scores of others to protest soaring electricity costs outside Perth’s Hydro One facility on Saturday, May 2. Holding a sign reading “Basics to live or hydro,” Wilson said the protest was her fourth in two years. “My husband and I are barely managing our hydro bill now,” she added, “and we are unsure of the future.” Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) Randy Hillier, a longtime vocal critic of Hydro One, was one of a handful of speakers at the noon-hour demonstration, which was organized by Jeanette Kosnaski, a Barry’s Bay resident. Kosnaski is an administrator for the Facebook group “Hydro One: Enough is Enough,” which has a petition circulating in communities across the province, asking Hydro One for the elimination of unfair fees and the HST from bills, as well as the removal of inaccurate smart meters. At last count, the online petition was nearing the 56,000 mark. It will be taken to a noon-hour mega-rally at Queen’s Park in Toronto Wednesday, May 13. “There is a bus with free seats going to Toronto May 13,” Kosnaski said. Contact the offices of Hillier or Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark for travel information.
Both Hillier and Clark are scheduled to speak at the Toronto rally, along with Barrie Member of Parliament (MP) Patrick Brown, Parker Gallant of Wind Concerns Ontario and Cindy Moyer, founding member of the Huron-Perth Landowners Association. To create awareness for the Queen’s Park event, Kosnaski’s group has held a number of mini-rallies. “We need to get the word out, we need to get people on a bus for Toronto,” she said. “I know it is on a Wednesday, but re-arrange your schedule, please.” The group “Hydro One: Enough is Enough” is asking for delivery charges to be the same in rural Ontario and urban cities. “We are also asking for debt retirement, regulatory charges and HST to be removed,” Kosnaski said. “People are starting to freak out a little bit more, with what is happening,” she added. “They are angry.” Hillier accused Premier Kathleen Wynne and Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli of bankrupting small town, rural Ontario. “The electricity provider with an exclusive monopoly in small town, rural Ontario is Hydro One,” he said, resulting in worsening customer service, increased costs and less accountability. “We are not seeing the same problem in Ottawa, Kingston or Toronto,” Hillier said. The local MPP noted the number of people making “far too much money at Hydro One,” including president and CEO Carmine Marcello at
close to $750,000. “Rural Ontario is paying for this bloated, underworked and overpaid bureaucracy,” Hillier said. “Hydro One can’t get a bill out on time to most people or read a smart meter most months.” “Hydro One must either face compe-
tition or be slimmed down in wages and number of employees,” he added. Kosnaski is hoping to have thousands and thousands people at Queen’s Park. Both Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) and Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) are

Tourism association’s pilot project to strengthen businesses, experiences Ashley Kulp

The Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Association (RHRTA) is going back to basics with their latest pilot project, geared at strengthening tourism business and experiences along the Rideau Canal. RHRTA executive director Anne Marie Forcier was at Rideau Roundtable’s annual general meeting (AGM) April 27 at Lower Reach Park’s Kinsmen Pavilion in Smiths Falls April 27 to speak about the initiative. Entitled Destination Development, it is a three-year pilot project focusing on enhancing existing tourism opportunities and creating new visitor experiences along the canal’s corridor. For the past eight years, the RHRTA has been focused on basic marketing and product development as well as strengthening international ties, Forcier said. “We’ve been bringing together tourism operators and experiences and working one-onone with people at bed and breakfasts, hotels… to bring them together under a marketing platform.” Forcier indicated that the RHRTA has seen great success, most recently with last year’s Visitor Experience Opportunities Concept (VEOC) report, where more than 70 stakeholders gathered over two days to create the guiding document, but now it’s time to shift gears. “We envision a bit of a change and as we look at the changes, we have to strengthen what has been brought forward in these last eight years and build on what was good,” she said. “We are change because the environment is changing

and there’s a demand for different products.” Thus, the Destination Development pilot project was born, designed to give businesses along the corridor an extra helping hand. The RHRTA has already applied for funding through the Eastern Ontario Development Program, to help with related costs. ‘The tourism business needs much more assistance to become vibrant and with the launch of this three-year pilot project we will focus on having viable experiences and products for 2017 when the celebration is happening for Canada 170,” Forcier stated. Destination Development is all about ensuring tourism along the canal realizes its potential, she said. “Have we realized our potential? I think we all know the answer to that and we realized early on that there is only so much marketing you can do. We have to go back to basics and strengthen the core of the businesses and experiences,” she remarked. The first phase of the project is expected to roll out later this year with phase one geared around increasing local business tourism knowledge and collaboration. “Some businesses don’t even realize they are in the tourism industry,” Forcier pointed out. To educate businesses, an industry training program will be developed. The second phase will focus on the developing a framework and collaborative projects. This includes establishing key partnerships, the creation of a marketing strategy, as well as the launch of local and regional marketing. Year three will see the project market ready for implementation. Through a collaborative approach, smaller operators will have access to a
larger campaign and have a further reach than they would on their own. Forcier stressed that the RHRTA “know this is a need in the industry” through feedback from community futures development corporations (CFDCs) such as Valley Heartland CFDC in Smiths Falls. They offer business counselling and coaching services. “They see over 400 businesses annually, many of those tourism-based, who are having struggles,” she said. “It’s not just about where to put their ad, but many of these businesses are struggling to be sufficient and we need to get back to basics in terms of business plans and viability.” Through Destination Development, Forcier said she would like to see activities such as the Rideau Roundtable’s popular Voyageur canoe experiences, become sustainable as well. To succeed with the project, the RHRTA will work with its strategic partners, including the regional tourism organizations, existing businesses, landowners and surrounding municipalities and economic development departments. While still in its infancy, Forcier is confident this project will bring real change to the corridor. “We’re still fine tuning this (project),” she said, noting that she was set to give a presentation at the RHRTA’s AGM in Smiths Falls April 30. “But why do we think this will work? The development potential is definitely there. We know there’s a need and co-operative marketing will assist everyone. Together, we know we can get further rather than doing it on our own.” “We’re not trying to become who we’re not, but being true to ourselves and sharing that with the world,” Forcier added.

Setting waste example
C
ivic pride is evident at community clean-ups taking place in our coverage area this spring. Local residents of all ages are taking time to improve the appearance of municipal parks, open spaces, vacant lots and other properties, and we know that many of you are mindful of that throughout the year. It still amazes us that there still seem to be people out there who cannot be bothered to find a garbage can and opt to toss waste onto the ground. There are too many township roadsides littered with bags full of refuse, and we don’t have much sympathy for illegal dumpers who are tracked down by bylaw enforcement officers based on evidence gathered from the garbage that is ditched. Some people are willing to spend money on gasoline to drive to the illegal dumping location but not purchase a bag tag or travel a bit farther to the appropriate municipal waste disposal facility. Children and teens are often blamed
for littering issues at or near schools or at gathering places. However, there are many adults who are guilty of similar behaviour and are setting a poor example for the next generation to follow. The actions of a few often detract from those of the majority, which is true for people of all ages. It appears that the youth of today are much more responsive to environmental issues, and we are cautiously optimistic that the civic leaders of tomorrow will lead the way when it comes to maintaining the appearance of the communities in which they live. For those of us who might occasionally seek the easy option when it comes to the inconvenience of whether or not to recycle or to properly dispose of garbage, remember that we are setting an example and affecting our environment now and in the future. Our behaviour speaks volumes to the next generation, and littering or illegal dumping are no exceptions.

Father came from the barn to get a cold glass of water, using his battered straw hat as a fan. He took his red polka-dot handkerchief out of his back overall pocket, and wiped his face, sending streaks of dust from the hayloft down his face. “Sure is hot in the barn,” he said.

Letter to the Editor
Harper government has dismally failed Canadians: Reader DEAR EDITOR: Recently MP Scott Reid sent out a "Keeping In Touch" constituent letter on preventing terrorism at home and fighting it abroad. He wanted voter feedback on whether we support or oppose Bill C-51, or think the bill gets it right, doesn't go far enough or goes too far. Frankly, Bill C-51 is a huge four-part omnibus bill where even Constitutional experts have grappled with its complexities. Yet, in the final

analysis, most outside experts, including several former Supreme Court justices, think the bill most definitely goes too far.

are understandably reluctant to speak about their emotional pain, or to reach out for help.” Enter social worker and educator Rick Goodwin, co-founder of The Men’s Project, an Ottawa organization that provides counselling services tailored to the specific needs of men and their families. Rick will visit The Table in Perth on May 13 to present a documentary film about male sexual trauma and to discuss what the healing process looks like for men who have been sexually abused. “We’re looking forward to hosting Rick and providing a space for this important conversation around men’s healing,” says Ramsey Hart, executive director at The Table, a co-sponsor of the event along with Lanark County
Mental Health. “Learning more about men’s unique mental health struggles is a starting place. Hopefully in opening up this conversation, we’ll make it easier for men to speak out and access help in Lanark County.” The event is free and open to the public and is part of The Table’s monthly movie and discussion series. As there is on every Wednesday, a free community meal is available from 4:30 to 6 p.m. and those interested in watching the film and joining the discussion are welcome to come early for supper.

shows that “only the provinces… have taken action,” on climate change. A Green government would also impose a carbon fee on pollution, and would then “return that fee to all Canadians equally,” which, she claims, “would lift people out of poverty…(and) it doesn’t grow the government. This is the year it’s got to happen.” As for more local issues, she criticized the decision to close down the Joyceville prison farm.
Proponents of the farm are “hopeful that a change of government can get the farm re-opened.” She is also quick to point out that the Joyceville facility, which is in our riding, “was one of the farms making a profit. There was no economic reason to close it down,” she said, only an ideological one. “The farm was providing food to the community.” On the agricultural file, “we really need to move away from large, industrial farms and more
towards smaller, local farms that feed people in the community.” She cited the Two Rivers Food Hub in Smiths Falls as a “good example,” of the local, collaborative food production she would like to see. “Poverty and child care are two issues that this government has not been able to deal with,” said Payne. “I think it’s a travesty that we don’t have a national child care program or a national energy strategy.”
ing terrorism abroad, particularly the air attacks within Syria against ISIL bases. One question the government can’t answer, however, is “What is the game plan or the exit strategy with ISIL?” My own view of ISIL is much like that of the Taliban – the more Muslims who are killed by westerners, the more effective the Jihadist recruitment efforts will become. We are on a perilous course and we don’t seem to have learned the lessons of Afghanistan (you would have thought Russia’s experience in that country would have taught us something). My view, bottom line, is that the
Conservative government is using terrorism as an election plank and hoping that most Canadians will accept their “Preventing Terrorism at Home and Fighting Terrorism Abroad” message in a simplistic, knee-jerk manner without stopping to analyze it. This message of how strong the Harper government is in fighting terrorism is also intended to take our focus off their other colossal failures – such as the treatment of veterans, Senate appointments, our annually increasing greenhouse gas emissions, the restrictions placed on scientists, the Fair Elections Act – now even our
venerable Coast Guard has been caught lying about an American expert saying they did a good job containing an oil spill in Vancouver Harbour. It just goes on and on. I am thoroughly and utterly disappointed in the Harper government, which, even by the most objective measurements, has dismally failed Canadians on so many fronts and, in my opinion, operates in the most cynical, calculating, dishonest and anti-democratic way I have ever seen.
things, which made little sense to me, but obviously were important to Mother. “Well, you will see that Mother never wears a summer hat to church until the 24th of May. She said in New York any woman caught wearing a summer hat before the 24th of May would be considered a woman of poor taste.” Audrey took a long breath. “And you certainly wouldn’t wear white gloves before then for the same reason. And that same goes for summer shoes too.” I was mulling over this bit of news in my mind’s eye. For the life of me I couldn’t understand why a date on a calendar
was so important. And then Audrey reminded me of the many little flat wood boxes of sprouted seeds in the kitchen waiting to be put into the garden. “Never, ever, has Mother transplanted those boxes until after the 24th of May. You’re too young to remember, but one year she planted every last box, and two days later, the frost came, and killed every last one of the plants.” I had no idea what plants getting hit with frost, wearing a summer hat and white gloves and summer shoes, and swimming in the Bonnechere all had to do with the 24th of May. Audrey started to doze off in the swing. I mulled
over all she had said, and I figured, next to Easter and Christmas, the 24th of May must surely be one of the most important days of the year. I couldn’t wait for that date to roll around, and I decided right then and there, I would write in my diary all that had happened on that date so that years down the road, I would remember what an important day it was when I was very young.

(PTSD), aggression, addictions and suicidal thoughts are just a few of the issues that commonly affect male survivors, according to Justice Canada. Yet too often the causes of men’s suffering remain unspoken, and their mental health issues go unrecognized and untreated. Why? “The short answer is stigma and gender expectations,” says Colin Vincent, a social worker at Lanark County Mental Health. “There’s still considerable stigma around mental illness, particularly among men, and sexual abuse is even more taboo. Shame keeps men isolated. On top of that, we learn early on that being strong means keeping our feelings to ourselves and going it alone, like a character from a John Wayne movie. So men

The Table Community Food Centre and Lanark County Mental Health join together to bring social worker and educator Rick Goodwin to Perth to follow up Mental Health Week 2015 with an important film screening and discussion about how to support male survivors of sexual abuse. According to researchers at 1in6 Canada, one in six is the approximate number of men in Canada who have experienced childhood sexual abuse. That’s about three million men across Canada – nearly 6,000 men in Lanark County alone.

Tickets for Wine’d Around Downtown May 30 in Carleton Place now available One of the most popular annual events in Carleton Place, Wine’d Around Downtown, is set for Saturday, May 30 and tickets are now available. Organized by the Carleton Place Sister City Committee the wine and food sampling extravaganza is returning for an eighth consecutive year. Last year’s venture was the most successful ever and this spring the host committee has been inundated with requests for ticket information. The event is a fundraiser for the Sister Cities Youth Exchange program. Carleton Place is twinned with the village of Comrie, Scotland and the city of Franklin, Tennessee a growing suburb of the world country music capital, Nashville. Exchange visits to both sister communities are planned in August. This year the colour orange will dominate on downtown Bridge Street. Orange is the colour of the event t-shirt which doubles as a ticket. Last year nearly 400 people took part in Wine’d Around Downtown which showcases the many excellent restaurants and pubs in and around Carleton Place. The venture begins at 1 p.m. and runs until 5 p.m. As the play on words in the name suggests, participants in Wine’d Around Downtown are encouraged to “wind” their way from one venue to another in the downtown area. With spring finally here, two participating firms will be operating outdoors. The idea of the event is not to over imbibe, but rather to savour sample glasses of wine and enjoy appetizers in one or more of the locations taking part in the afternoon event. “The event ticket package is now available at numerous locations,” says committee chair Jeff Maguire.
The package includes a T-shirt, an event passport filled with related information and a coupon for a free appetizer at one of the participating restaurants and pubs. Anyone wearing a Wine’d Around Downtown T-shirt is entitled to purchase additional wine samples and appetizers for just $3 each. “We ask everyone involved to wear their T-shirt and join the crowd. This is an enjoyable social event,” Maguire says. “But you have to purchase a tshirt and the logo must be visible in order to take part. Staff at the participating venues will only serve those who are in possession of one of the distinctive shirts which entitles you to wine and food samples at low cost.” Maguire adds that in the past some people have participated without actually buying tickets which is not permitted. “When you buy a ticket you’re helping local students travel abroad. That’s what this is all about.” Numerous venues This year Waterfall Wedding and Event Catering will be located at Moore House, an historic downtown home at 170 Bridge St., opposite the Town Hall. Besides being the new home of the Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce, it is also the site of the town’s aviation museum featuring the story of local native Captain A. Roy Brown, the First World War ace who shot down famed German pilot Baron Manfred von Richthofen in 1918. Other participating venues include the Thirsty Moose Pub and Eatery, 20 Bridge St.; Ballygiblin’s Restaurant and Pub, 151 Bridge St.; Dionysos Restaurant (Greek and Canadian dining), 156 Bridge St.; Slackoni’s Restaurant
(Fine Italian Cuisine), 35 Mill St. and the Waterfront Gastropub, 12 Bell St. (across the river from the Town Hall). Generations Inn and Fine Lakeside Dining (located at Lake Park in Beckwith Township) will be operating an outdoor location in the parking lot beside 92 Bridge St. where they were last year. Meanwhile the always popular Beckwith Butcher will dispense tasty appetizers and beverages at the Town Hall Square on Mill St. at Beckwith St. The cost remains unchanged at $25 per person. You can purchase t-shirts at the Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce office (now relocated to historic Moore House on Bridge Street), the Thirsty Moose Pub and Eatery, Ballygiblin’s Restaurant and Pub, Slackoni’s Restaurant, Generations Inn at Lake Park or the Century 21 Explorer Realty Inc. office, 145 Bridge St. “During Wine’d Around Downtown the committee will also be promoting our new fall fundraiser which takes place in the upstairs hall of the Carleton Place arena on Saturday, Oct. 24,” Maguire explains. The chairman says the October event replaces the former Sister City Gala Ball which ended a successful eightyear run in the Carleton Place Town Hall Auditorium last September. “It’s time for a change of pace, a new venue, a new style and a more affordable price. Watch for the advertising posters and promotional information,” Maguire outlines. “We will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of Carleton Place’s twinning arrangement with Franklin, Tennessee. But this will be a very different event featuring a first-rate buffet dinner, live and silent auctions, a draw for a trip for two to
Nashville and lots more.” The price is $75 per person and tickets will soon be available for sale at Nancy’s Impressions and Graham’s Shoes. Also during Wine’d Around Downtown participants can fill out a ballot for a draw. The prize is two free tickets (a value of $150) to the October fundraiser at the arena. Ballots can be dropped off at the bar of either the Thirsty Moose or Ballygiblin’s. This year the Carleton Place Sister City Committee is operating its ninth youth exchange with Franklin and the third with Comrie (the Scotland exchange runs every second year). On Aug. 1 Carleton Place and Comrie mark the 23rd anniversary of their twinning arrangement which has a basis in history. Many of the original settlers in this part of Lanark County emigrated from the Perthshire region of Scotland, which includes the picturesque village

Lanark County businesses cheer federal tax cuts announcement sroy@perfprint.ca
A two per cent reduction isn’t much to a multi-billion dollar business, but for small businesses across Canada and Lanark County it has meant some much needed breathing room, according to local downtown business associations. “The reality is small business in our province and our country is struggling. The more the feds can support them the better off we’re all going to be,� said Cathie McOrmond, manager of the Carleton Place BIA. Nicola Thomson, Smiths Falls DBA co-ordinator, was pleased to hear the government will reduce the small business corporate taxes from 11 per cent to nine per cent by 2019, saying putting more dollars in the hands of local business owners can only mean more wealth for Canadian communities. “What we’re hoping for is that perhaps that two per cent can help make another job,� Thomson said. “If they could just get one day reprieve what could that mean for the business owner.� Many small businesses operate as a family business with the owner serving as staff and getting little to no time for personal enjoyment and rest. The government’s plan to reduce the tax rate by .5 per cent each year until 2019 will mean this break may be delayed until the full two per cent decrease is felt, but Thomson and McOrmond are united in their belief that keeping the money in local hands can only help the economy. This kind of relief doesn’t have to come at the hands of the government, as McOrmond and Thomson explain families choosing to shop locally and not at a box store can make an incredible difference to the entire area, as these dollars cycle through the economy. What customers get for the extra 50 cents per transaction is a wealth of knowledge and one-on-one service that can’t be found in a box store. “Value doesn’t just mean cheap prices,� McOrmond said. “You’re going to make someone’s year not someone’s multibillion dollar budget for the day,� Thomson added. The work to develop new small business enterprises at Valley Heartland CFDC’s The Excelerator in Smiths Falls is hoped to translate into new store openings and a more diverse retail shopping experience for all. “It’s potential leases for our
building owners,� Thomson said. Lanark Frontenac Lennox and Addington MP Scott Reid supports keeping the money in the hands of small business owners through a tax cut rather than raising the cap. “I think it will have a greater impact,� Reid said. He doesn’t support government spending in a recession, as a means to buoy up the economy, saying such measures taken in 2009 is why the government took until this year to balance their books. “I’ve always been a fan of the idea of balanced budgets,� Reid said. He defended the government’s track record of excessive spending in 2008 saying the minority government position required the Conservative government to spend $30 billion in stimulus for infrastructure or the other parties would topple the government. This year’s budget is balanced on the ledger page, but some are concerned that this will be hard to replicate as the balance came at the expense of their shares in General Motors and their multi-billion dollar contingency fund. Reid responded to these concerns by highlighting a new law that will require minister’s salaries to be docked if the federal budget is not balanced. TFSA The announced increase to the allowable Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) contributions from $5,000 to $10,000 this year aims to continue this budget’s theme of keeping money in the hands of spenders and not government coffers. “This is about letting you use the money to make your own best investments,� Reid said. The difference between TFSA and traditional retirement savings is that a TFSA will not roll over into a RIF at retirement, it’s flexible in that it allows you to spend the money on whatever is needed at the time, and with a TFSA taxes are paid when the funds are put in and not at the time of usage. This is different from the RSP system that was designed in the 1950s and taxes you when the funds are pulled out. “It’s now clear the system was designed backwards,� Reid added of TFSAs. “It just makes sense. Anybody who is going to have savings will have TFSA savings.� Currently, he notes roughly a third of eligible Canadians have

TFSA savings with this number increasing the closer individuals get to retirement. Reid is concerned about the future of the retirement system in Canada as baby boomers age through the system and the cost to keep the pension program going for those that remain rises to $4,200 per taxpayer. Reid wonders if the pension program may be retired before those in his age group have a chance to tap into it. “That’s a real worry,� he said. Compassionate care benefits Professionals in the palliative care world are cheering this month following the federal government’s decision to increase employment insurance compassionate care benefits from six weeks to six months. “It’s good that we’re starting to recognize life long care,� adds Rebecca Bowie, co-ordinator of hospice palliative care services through Community Home Support – Lanark County. “It’s a real sacred time just like birth.� This budget item allows family members who are caring for terminally ill loved ones without financial penalty for up to six months. Bowie applauds this move, saying family members are best suited to act as advocate for their loved ones, and are most able to ensure the terminally ill citizen receives the highest quality of life as they exit this world. “It’s a great stride even for the recognition at this stage. Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington MP Scott Reid joins industry professionals in welcoming this change to benefit coverage. When asked if this is a first step towards recognizing conditions that aren’t terminal, but require time away from work (i.e: cancer), Reid responded: “I suspect that you’ll find over time that it would have to be increased incrementally. The question always with these things is a practical matter. How much does it cost.� Details on how the budget will be implemented will be made public this Thursday, May 7, but overall, Reid feels the budget was generally well received as he heard a much more muted response than past budgets.

Final liberation parade in the Netherland’s Apeldoorn Saturday
to Rheinberg in Germany. In between are the Dutch Canadian War Cemeteries including Bergen-op-Zoom in southwest Holland where 968 Canadians are buried and Holten in northwest Holland where 1,355 Canadian soldiers are interred. The largest Canadian War Cemetery in The Netherlands is at Groesbeek, near the eastern city of Nijmegen, where 2,338 Canadians are buried. We visited Groesbeek in 1995 and took part in the 50th anniversary service of remembrance which was also attended by Dutch Princess Margriet. She was born in the Ottawa Civic Hospital in January 1943 while the Dutch Royal family was living in exile in Canada. In 1995 I was the editor-publisher of the Carleton Place Canadian newspaper. Kathleen and I traveled to Europe as part of a Legion-sponsored trip. I covered the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe and the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of Holland. We were in the company of 15 Second World War veterans and their wives from Carleton Place, Lanark County and Ottawa. It was our first visit to Europe and as I noted earlier it was not only incredibly emotional, but also life changing. Kathleen and I have been fortunate enough to make 19 subsequent visits to Great Britain, Ireland and Continental Europe over the course of two decades. But it’s that very special first visit in 1995 which will always top our international travel story list. The truly incredible experiences we had during that excursion can never be repeated and we feel very fortunate. We’ve also been lucky enough to make lifelong friends as a result. Our tour leader in 1995 was the late Carleton Place businessman Alan Barker. The Almonte native was a Canadian Army veteran of the European campaign in the Second World War. Alan was one of the finest gentlemen it has been my privilege to know. Beginning in the 1960s Alan and his late wife Melba (she was the first female Mayor of Carleton Place) began leading organized tours involving Carleton Place and Lanark County veterans and other interested people to Great Britain and Europe. The focus was England’s South Downs, in East Sussex, where Canadian troops trained in the lead-up to the invasion of France (D-Day). Alan’s Legionsponsored tours also visited the former battlefields and war cemeteries in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. On this occasion Alan, with the assistance of Carleton Place Legion Branch 192, organized the tour through a travel agent and long-time friend of Alan’s in Nottingham, England. That firm in turn hired a coach from Pontefract, West York-

It is a good way to thank veterans, honour their memory, remember the terrible losses suffered during the Second World War and recall the euphoria of liberation.

Steve Horan, Jim Parker and Harold Taylor. They are all gone now. But I was fortunate enough to be a witness to one of the proudest days of their lives. Our veterans are very special people and since 1995 I have dedicated a great deal of time and space to writing about their amazing lives and exploits. It’s become a calling for me.

Reflections
shire to carry us on our travels. The coach driver Martin Ireton has become a lifelong friend of ours. We have visited back and forth with Martin, his wife Wendy and their family many times over the course of 20 years. The entire 15-day expedition in 1995 was unforgettable. Included were stops in London, Rotterdam, Vimy Ridge and the European war cemeteries as well as Paris. Incredible experience But it was what we witnessed during the 50th anniversary Dutch National Liberation Parade in Apeldoorn, 50 years ago today (May 7, 1995) that is permanently seared into my memory. Europe was enveloped in a rare, spring heat wave. At parade time it was a head spinning 34C. We were staying in Eindhoven, 90 minutes away. Martin drove us to the arena in Apeldoorn where the parade participants, including the veterans from our group, were being organized. The rest of us were ferried to the centre of the city of 160,000 where grandstands had been erected for spectators to view the military parade. It was projected that 8,000 Allied veterans would join the parade and 50,000 spectators would watch the spectacle. Instead nearly 12,000 veterans, most of them Canadian, took part. The crowd of onlookers swelled to an overwhelming 500,000. The surge of Dutch citizens smothered the marching veterans with affection. Women ran into the streets to hand them bouquets of flowers, hug and kiss them. It was an unbelievable scene which I captured on about 20 rolls of 35-millimetre film (no digital cameras in those days). The people of Holland absolutely love Canadians. And you don’t have to be a veteran to become the object of their affection either, as we found out first-hand 20 years ago today. We too were hugged and kissed and there were line-ups to obtain one of the red maple leaf pins our group was handing out. We all ran out of lapel pins in minutes. The most emotional moments for me came when the veterans from our entourage proudly marched past. People like Alan Barker, Willy Rattray, Wally Mace,

This Saturday (May 9) what is being called “the final National Liberation Parade” will be held in the city of Apeldoorn, The Netherlands. This year marks 70 years since Allied troops, including a large force of Canadians, liberated Holland after five years of brutal Nazis occupation. Apeldoorn is in the province of Gelderland in the central section of The Netherlands which makes it an ideal location for those traveling from all parts of the tiny nation for the much anticipated liberation parade. The reason this year’s event is being called the last parade is because 10 years from now it is believed very few veterans of the Second World War, or Dutch citizens who were alive during the war, will be left to take part. After all, Second World War veterans are now in their late ‘80s or early ‘90s. Unfortunately time waits for no one, including our heroic veterans. Liberation parades have been held in Holland every five years. But it is major anniversaries, marked every 10 years that draw the largest number of veterans and the biggest crowds. My wife Kathleen and I were in attendance at the landmark 50th anniversary parade on May 7, 1995. It was an emotional and life changing experience! Holland was invaded by German troops on May 10, 1940 the same day that one Winston Spencer Churchill was named Prime Minister of Great Britain. The country was instantly occupied by the enemy and remained so until the first week of May 1945. By the end of 1944 the western regions of the small country were suffering from a manmade famine so harsh that it is still referred to by those who lived there at the time as the “Hongerwinter” (Hunger winter). A German blockade cut off food and fuel supplies to the densely populated west of the country. People were reduced to eating tulip bulbs in an effort to survive. It is estimated that 18,000-22,000 people succumbed to the effects of starvation and cold. To complicate matters the winter of 1944-45 was particularly harsh. Following the successful D-Day landings in Normandy, France on June 6, 1944 the Allies fanned out across Western Europe. The Canadians were given one of the toughest jobs of all, pushing north along the Channel coast, liberating German-held ports and meeting fanatical resistance. Thousands were killed and wounded. By early fall 1944 the Allies had pushed through northwest France and Belgium and liberated the southern portion of Holland. The Allies’ effort ground to a halt in September when ‘Operation Market Garden’, their attempt to race across Holland and capture a key bridge over the River Rhine at Arnhem, failed due to a poorly conceived plan and stubborn German resistance. War cemeteries That left the rest of Holland in enemy hands until the spring of 1945. The country was declared totally liberated on May 5 following the surrender of all German forces. From September 1944 until the German surrender more than 7,600 Canadians were killed in action. They are buried in war cemeteries from Adegem in Belgium

Carbon Monoxide Alarms: Installing a carbon-monoxide alarm near the sleeping areas of your home will alert you to the presence of this deadly gas.

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has just released a new prevention video on texting and driving. The video, produced by Constable Pierre Dubois of the Hawkesbury OPP detachment, aims at discouraging drivers from picking up their cell phones and other related devices while they are at the wheel. The OPP reminds the community that the consequences of “texting and driving” can be disastrous. The video, called “Sounds of Texting” focuses on the sounds and emotions related to the negative impacts of distracted driving. The OPP regularly investigates collisions that are a direct cause of distracted driving and the number of incidents related to distracted driving has significantly increased over the years. In Ontario, drivers caught with a cell phone in their hands are eligible to receive: • A fine of $225, plus a victim surcharge and court fee, for a total of $280 if settled out of court • A fine of up to $500 if you receive a summons If you endanger others because of any distraction, including both handheld and hands-free devices, you can also be charged with Careless Driving. If convicted, you will automatically receive: • Six demerit points • Fines up to $2,000 and/or • A jail term of six months • Up to two-year licence suspension You can even be charged with dangerous driving (a criminal offence), with jail terms of up to five years. You can make a difference by sharing this information with friends and family members. You can also set a good the example for others as you drive by taking these easy steps to avoid being distracted: • Use your cell phone only when you’re parked • Have a passenger take the call • Let calls go to voicemail • Turn off your cell phone before you start driving • Identify and preset your vehicle’s climate control, radio and CD player • Plan your route and set your GPS before you leave The message in this new video confirms the obvious…you can get caught “red handed” and receive a fine. But consequences could even be worse where they could lead to heavier fines, jail, injuries and even death. Hawkesbury OPP Detachment Commander, Inspector Bryan MacKillop says “someone’s family member or friend is sharing the roadway with you. Protect others, protect yourself. Keep your eyes on the road ahead and your hands on the steering wheel at all times so that everyone makes it home safely.” For more information on the dangers of distracted driving or to view the “Sounds of Texting” video, please visit the OPP’s YouTube channel available at www.OPP.ca or by clicking on the following link: https://youtu.be/wukfLIODzzE.

4:19 PM It’s grandpa’s first time in this part of town. He doesn’t have any idea how he got here, how to get home or who he is.
Getting the royal treatment The ninth annual Cinderella Boutique Day was making prom dreams come true Saturday, May 2 in the former Smiths Falls Curves location in Cornelia Court. According to organizer Penny Evans, 50 girls were outfitted from head to toe with dresses, shoes and accessories. Those who missed out on the day can still find a dress for graduation by contacting the Smiths Falls Free Methodist Church during regular business hours at 613-283-5383. Above, Grade 12 Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute student Kristin Duberville found this strapless black satin number for her prom. To make it unique, seamstresses outfitted it with a champagne-coloured sash. Above right, during the day, each girl seeking a dress received help from her own personal consultants, who volunteered their time. Showing off some of their favourite dresses are, from left: Brittany Marino, Erica McFadyen, Megan Jennex, Paris Healey and Hannah Evans.
5:45 PM You don’t know where he is either.

The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust’s annual Spring Walk to Blueberry Mountain is set for Sunday, May 10. The walk coincides with the 100th anniversary of the death of John Muir, a renowned naturalist. During the walk, Howard Clifford, above, will appear as Muir.

Joyce, Flo
Leave your car at home for a day, week or a month! Try walking or biking. If work is too far away to walk carpool.
A celebration of the life of John Muir on Blueberry Mountain May 10 • Allowed our fears to interfere with opportunities to follow our dreams? • Worried that we may come to the end of our days and realize we have never really lived? • Struggled with conflicts between love of material things and the things that nourish our souls – with living vibrantly in the world without succumbing to it. • Wondered how to balance preserving the beauty and healing forces of nature and the utilitarian need to use nature`s resources to accommodate an ever growing population. John Muir faced these issues and more – head on. What makes Muir such a powerful influence was his ability to combine science and his intellectual giftedness with an unsurpassed deep, extended immersion in nature experiences. The synergy between the intellect, the emotional, and spiritual perspectives arising out of these experiences made for a profound authentic voice, rarely encountered. Blueberry Mountain is located near Flower Station in Lanark Highlands. Directions are available on the mmlt.ca website. Registration is at 9:30 a.m. and the nature walk starts sharply at 10 a.m. ‘John Muir’ will appear at 11:15 a.m. at the top of Blueberry Mountain, weather
permitting. If the weather is not co-operative he will appear in the in-door classroom at 12:15 p.m. Bring along your lunch to enjoy in this beautiful spot. Desserts, tea and coffee will be served. The entrance fee is a $10 donation to the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust. Entrance for children under 12 is free. For more information, please contact Howard or Jean Clifford at 613-259-3412. About the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust The MMLT is a non-profit, charitable organization that works directly and flexibly with landowners interested in permanently protecting properties with exceptional ecological value, often bringing the support of a number of tax benefits. In addition to conserving land, MMLT believes that exposure to nature provides numerous personal benefits and offers regular opportunities to the general public to experience the wilderness first-hand on its nature reserves. MMLT currently manages more than 2,100 acres of wilderness conservation lands. For more information, contact the MMLT at 613-253-2722 or admin@mmlt.ca. Visit the MMLT web site at mmlt.ca.

The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) is hosting its annual Spring Walk to Blueberry Mountain on May 10. We take delight and count it a privilege to dedicate this year’s walk to John Muir, considered by many to be the foremost naturalist of the past century. This year marks the 100th anniversary of his death. His life story continues to inspire and he has become the unofficial patron to cliffLAND. Come and hear some of his stories about how his nature experiences became so internalized into the fabric of his personality that when he spoke many felt he was the voice of nature. Though he was far ahead of his own time, his voice is still in the forefront, calling us to greater aspirations, greater dreams. You may be surprised how directly he speaks to today`s societal issues and to our individual and personal challenges. The issues may appear very different but at the most fundamental core level of the human condition nothing has changed. Who of us have never: • Felt depressed, anxious, had unresolved anger, or feared losing control of our life? • Felt that our work and personal life entrapped us into a web of artificiality, devoid of authentic purpose or meaning?
1965 Pontiac Parisienne coupe with same owner since 1968 Terry White of Beamsville, Ontario, writes: “Hi, Bill: In 1965 I fell in love with the 1965 Pontiac GTO. I graduated with a Grade 12 Diploma in Auto Mechanics and started my apprenticeship. By 1968, I was spending my extra money on tools and my future wife Liz of the next 43 years starting in 1972. “Then Uncle Dave, who dealt with York Street Hardware in Hamilton, said he found a 1965 Pontiac GTO for sale for $1500.00. We went to York Hardware and saw a burgundy 2-door hardtop with 28,000 miles, bucket seats, black vinyl roof, and 327 4-barrel. But it wasn’t a GTO. It was a 1965 Pontiac Parisienne Custom Sport and I fell in love with it. I bought it and drove it with pride for the next 12 years. “In ’72, it became the wedding car for myself and a lot of buddies during the ‘70s. By 1979 (last licensed sticker)

The 2-speed Powerglide has been replaced with a 350 Turbo with shift kit. “The master cylinder has been changed from single action to dual with a proportional valve added with help from John Stuart of Stoney Creek. The interior is basically original with new carpet and roof and three kids later, it was time for a more suitable family car. “I did some engine work and body work to keep it as a second car for back and forth to work at Dofasco. The restoration spanned 31 years with the car much of that time in a garage in Caistor Centre and three years at Pankhurst Restorations in Hamilton. “The engine with original block is upgraded with a ¾ race street cam, 300 hp Corvette double hump heads, Aluminum High-rise Edelbrock Manifold with a 650 Holley and Hooker Headers.

When to decide it’s the right time to finally retire your ride With a couple of weeks of beautiful spring weather to boost our spirits, more than a few of us are feeling the seasonal pull towards automotive dealership lots in full bloom with shining chrome and hot wheels. But many others prefer to stick with their current ride out of comfort, sentimentality, and the fear of new vehicle loan or lease payments. The average age of a Canadian vehicle is now pegged at over nine years. But when is it time to pull the plug and plates off of the daily driver, and what are the telltale signs of age you shouldn’t ignore. No automaker will publicly state what lifespan they design their vehicles to endure. And with the extremely wide variety of vehicles available in our market, from the entry-level subcompact to the ultra-exotic dream-car, it’s hard to pick an accurate time or mileage limit out of the air. And as each vehicle is owned by a very unique driver with unique habits of maintenance or auto-abuse, similar makes and models can enjoy very different lifestyles and dates of admission into that eternal salvage yard in the sky. But no matter how fastidious or abusive we might be
about car repairs, nor how many thousands we spend, Canadian roads and weather are the great equalizers. As I mentioned before in these columns, one carmaker was once upfront enough to me to admit that they engineered, designed, and built their vehicles to a 10-year/250,000 km life expectancy. This was a mainstream manufacturer, which consistently occupies one of the top five sales spots in North America every year. But long before these milestones, we should be inspecting and getting some advice on critical areas of our autos. If your wheels are driven 12 months of the year and get to enjoy the best of our winters, then around the five year mark you will want to have certain areas inspected for rust (in addition to regular maintenance). Often times attentive lubebay techs will pay attention to the undercarriage of older vehicles they service and bring any issues to the attention of the driver. But you can’t really rely on a simple oil change service to catch the subtleties of the corrosion process with its gradual efforts to return our transportation investments to the ground. It’s just as important to have
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
a full bi-annual comprehensive check up by a qualified tech. They will look for such things as rusting brake and fuel lines for example; a topic that received recent attention from the U.S. National Highway Safety and Traffic Administration (NHTSA). In a public release bulletin earlier this year, NHTSA urged all older vehicle owners to have a complete undercarriage desalination wash done every spring after the winter road-salt season has ended (the undercarriage spray at most automated cars washes do this job well). It seems that NHTSA just figured out what many Canadians have known for years; that soft spongy brake pedal and dash warning lights are giving the heads up that some immediate attention is needed. But rusted and leaking brake lines aren’t the only effect of more than a few winter’s driving. Suspension and exhaust components as well as fuel tanks
and their retaining straps and floor and body panels can also be ravaged by our love of roadsalt. Some of these concerns can be found with visual checks and some require a little more invasive procedures such as removing fender liners and under-body shields. Often times a metal panel or frame-rail will look perfectly normal but will bend or dent with relatively light taps of a hammer indicating that rust is starting to take its toll. A large source of metal on any make or model of car can be particularly expensive to deal with as the vehicle ages and can provide a dizzying array of symptoms; that would be the copper wiring. As copper wiring corrodes, due to exposure to wet salty environments, it turns to powder. Exposed connectors and even well protected ones can exhibit this and the symptoms can range from check engine lights to
failed electrical systems, to nostart conditions. While there are too many electrical connectors and wiring harnesses in a modern vehicle to be able to inspect in a reasonable period of time, a qualified and experienced tech can examine the most vulnerable and the most common points of failure. As there is very little preventative maintenance that can be performed to prevent electrical system corrosion failure, it’s pretty much a fix-it-when-itbreaks type of approach. One of the clear indicators that it’s time to replace your ride unfortunately only comes with a major breakdown. When you’re faced with a major repair that will cost an amount equal to or greater than the current wholesale value of the vehicle, it’s time to stop and consider your options. If the repair history of your vehicle has been good and it’s structurally sound and a general inspection doesn’t reveal any fu-
ture headaches, you may be well advised to go ahead and bite the bullet. But it’s still a roll of the dice with an older vehicle. Consider the benefits along with the costs of a replacement vehicle. Better fuel mileage, safer protection systems, and lower maintenance costs at the beginning, may make a financial picture that sees you behind the wheel of a something new(er). If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ in the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 65 Lorne St., P.O.

Latest Avengers film: flawless MOVIE: The Avengers: Age of Ultron STARRING: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlet Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Aaron TaylorJohnson and James Spader DIRECTOR: Joss Whedon RATING: PG As much as I love writing these reviews there is one small drawback. Each week I have to see a new movie, and right now I just want to see Avengers: Age of Ultron again and again. The Avengers have teamed up to find Loki’s staff. They’ve raided Hydra base after Hydra base until finally finding it in an obscure European country. The Avengers win the ensuing battle, but they encounter two super powered twins, Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) and Pietro Maximoff (Aaron TaylorJohnson), fighting for Hydra. Wanda is a telepath and telekinetic, and her brother Pietro is super fast. The Avengers recover the staff, but after Tony (Robert Downey Jr.) studies it he realizes it holds the key to true artificial intelligence. He and Banner (Mark Ruffalo) have been working on a project to
My Take mark haskins
protect the world. They called it Ultron, and now they have the means to make it a reality. Their attempts seem to fail, but something does awaken. Ultron comes to life, but he’s not what Tony and Banner planned. Ultron is a being of rage. He wants to tear apart the Avengers, and then the world. It will take the entire team to stop him, and even then it might not be enough. I loved this movie. The Avengers: Age of Ultron is everything I loved about the comic books and more. The special effects are gorgeous. The action has a fluidity that’s mesmerizing. The camera work is absolutely unreal as it puts you right in the middle of it all. It’s the kind of thrill ride that gives you shivers, but it’s so much more than that. Whedon doesn’t just make action films. He creates intense emotional experiences wrapped in brilliant writing and dazzling performances. It’s a perfect film. This ensemble of actors

is the best. You simply can’t imagine these movies without Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlet Johansson, and Jeremy Renner. They are their characters. Just when you think a good thing can’t get better Don Cheadle as War Machine, and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury enter the picture. With this film we also have Elizabeth Olsen, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Paul Bettany as the Vision joining the team. They are tremendous characters played perfectly by the newcomers. I have to make a special mention of James Spader who is the voice of Ultron. In the Marvel Universe few characters are as feared as Ultron. His voice is the voice of terror, of rage and of evil. Spader is all of that. The Avengers: Age of Ultron blends heart-pounding action with real emotion. It blends the Earth-shattering heroics with a wry sense of humour. It blends the mind-blowing special effects with truly human performances. It is in a word, flawless. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Hot air balloon inflates excitement at École Ste-Marguerite-Bourgeoys Kayleen Preston
Among the 2,297 submissions, sixyear-old Andréanne Lavoie of École Ste-Marguerite-Bourgeoys (ESMB) in Merrickville won one of the four top prizes for a colouring contest with the Gatineau Hot Air Balloon Festival. The theme for this year’s contest was ‘Imagine Yourself in a Balloon.’ ESMB were especially ecstatic since this was the first time anyone from their school had won the contest. Organizer of the contest for the festival, Marilou Mathieu-Lemay, said, “We really wanted to take someone who was five or six years old, because a lot of teachers asked or e-mailed me if it was worth it if [the younger students] participated, because they do not have super drawings, but we thought it was important to choose one of them. It’s really colourful and original, so we picked that one,” said Mathieu-Lemay referring to Andréanne’s drawing. Since this was the 10th anniversary of the contest, they decided to make it a bit bigger and more exciting for the contest winners. A hot air balloon was brought to schools of the contest winners, where the winners were able to go in the hot air balloon. Unfortunately on April 30, the wind was so strong that Lavoie was unable to go for a short ride, but they still inflated the balloon with cold air using a fan to allow her to sit inside the balloon. Lavoie later stated that this was the highlight of her day. When Lavoie first arrived outside, she was invited to talk to the pilot who noticed she was cold. He went to his truck and brought her his jacket for her to wear to keep warm. She was swimming in the excess of material, but still chose to wear his jacket when asked if she wanted to
borrow Mathieu-Lemay’s jacket, which would have fit her better. She had to take off the jacket shortly after when she was receiving her certificate, and her picture she drew which was laminated. Lavoie also received a weekend pass to the amusement park at the festival held on Labour Day weekend in Gatineau. When the students first arrived outside, the balloon was not inflated, but were in awe as they watched the balloon slowly inflate in their schoolyard after Lavoie received her certificates. They cheered as the balloon slowly got bigger. With the wind, they were only able to inflate the balloon half way to ensure it would not get ripped by the nearby trees. After Lavoie took a few photos inside, the team from the festival began to deflate the balloon. Students participated in putting away the balloon by having races, and helping put the balloon back in the bag. Students were chosen at random from the crowd to help fold the ropes from the balloon. One student would run with the rope until it was straight, then another student would be chosen to grab the rope, and race the first student until the rope would be folded in half. Students cheered on the racers as they ran. Generally the races had a boy versus a girl. Once the balloon was folded so it would be in a straight line, students from Lavoie’s class and Grade 6 lined up along each side of the balloon. All together the students picked up the balloon and walked slowly towards the bag where organizers helped stuff it into its carrying bag. One of the people from the balloon festival was Valentin Faivre Pierret from France. He came overseas to be trained in logistics. Every year the event has six trainees come from across Canada and overseas to help with the

To the right, Lavoie smiles as she sits inside the basket of the hot air balloon. festival. He explained that he chose to be a part of this team because of his love of traveling and thought it “would be good experience” for him. Faivre Pierret is the first of the trainees to arrive this year. The other trainees will begin to arrive at the end of May. Students were also invited to sit in
the basket of the balloon, where they could ask the pilot a question about hot air balloons. “It’s important to make every school count, even if they are three hours from where we’re from.” Mathieu-Lemay said when asked why they came to the school. She also mentioned that it is

great to get the students interested in the balloons, in hope it will help bring more people to the festival later this summer. The contest had two winners in Ontario, and two in Quebec. The contest was held for eight school boards throughout southeastern Ontario and the Gatineau region.

SNG reaches $5,000 goal in two-and-a-half days of fundraising From front page
She explained the musicians withdrew to take a stand against TransCanada. “We’re doing it to stand with our community in opposition to the pipeline,” said Poushinsky. “We are in a position where we can do that publicly and make a difference, so we took it.” In a press release, the musicians stated: ‘We believe that the TransCanada Corporation does not operate in the long-term best interest of the community or the local and national ecology. We feel that the TC sponsorship of the festival does not reflect the concerns or wishes of the community and therefore is incongruent with the communitybased tradition of the festival, and as such should not be warranted exposure at an important community event such as the Dandelion Festival.” The press release further stated: “after contacting the festival (organizers) on April 28 in order to discuss our misgivings, we were informed by Julia O’Grady, festival manager, that the festival will be “proceeding with the TransCanada funding, unless... the sponsorship can be replaced in its entirety.” Because we feel that the Dandelion Festival did not keep the best interests of the community in mind when seeking sponsorship, as a group we have decided to withdraw our performance services from the festival and stand up for the concerns of the members of our community opposed to the TransCanada Energy East pipeline project.’ Sustainable North Grenville, a community group focused on maintaining a healthy environment and community, decided to help fundraise $5,000 to replace the TransCanada sponsorship after learning of the musician’s actions. The crowd funding campaign went live on social media at 2 p.m. on May 2. Over $3,000 was raised in a single day. SNG kicked off the campaign with a donation of $500. “It’s been overwhelming to see the outpouring of support from the community,” said Diana Steadman, a member of SNG. Between 8 and 9 p.m. on May 4, the crowd funding campaign reached the goal of $5,000. “We found ourselves (SNG) in a position where we felt compelled to act,” said Steadman. “We understood and shared the concerns of the musicians, as well as viewed the Dandelion Festival as an important event in the community. It brings the community together.” She explained crowd funding was the positive solution SNG came up with. “Even though it seemed like a crazy pipe dream, we needed to push forward,” said Steadman. “We provided the channel for the community to offer
up their support. By donating, people are saying they value the festival and have concerns about the pipeline.” She explained any excess funds raised may be donated to the 2016 Dandelion Festival. “SNG is very pleased the festival organizers have accepted our offer, to return TransCanada’s funds if we can reach our goal of $5,000 by May 8,” said Steadman. A press release from Sustainable North Grenville stated: ‘SNG values the festival as an important event that brings people together and creates strong community connections. In order to support the success of this year’s festival, SNG was spurred into action. Members of SNG stepped forward with an offer to attempt to raise $5,000 in alternative funds so that the festival can continue as planned. In an offer of good faith the Board of the Dandelion Festival has agreed that, should SNG be successful in raising the funds by a deadline of May 8, TransCanada’s funds will be returned.’ Tim Duboyce, spokesperson for Energy East Pipeline, said in an email, “TransCanada is very proud to participate in community events such as the Dandelion Festival. It is important for us to be active and to contribute in the communities where we operate. We are asked to sponsor hundreds of events across Canada every year, such as this one. TransCanada has been operating gas pipelines in the area for many years. As such, these community events are important to us in part because many of our employees live and work in the areas where we operate.” “We are proud of the long-standing relationships that we’ve developed over the past 20 years in the North Grenville area and look forward to continuing those in the decades to come. Sponsoring community events in Eastern Ontario is nothing new for us. Over the last few years, we have also providing funding to the Raisin River Canoe Race; the Act Defibrilator Program in Ottawa, Cornwall, Iroquois, and Prescott; the Eastern Ontario Children’s Water Festival in Cornwall, and the Agape Centre in Cornwall, just to name a few. In fact, we have been contributing to local government revenues for decades, paying tens of thousands of dollars every year in property taxes in North Grenville specifically. This includes our involvement both with pipeline facilities and as Ontario’s largest independent electricity provider, including solar energy facilities in Burritts Rapids, Brockville and Mississippi Mills. For us the most important thing is that the Festival goes ahead as planned, which is why we accepted the request for sponsorship in the first place. For those who are displeased with our involvement, I would only repeat that the En-

ergy East Pipeline project is being planned using the most advanced pipeline technology and safety techniques in the industry. We are taking great care to make this pipeline the safest and most reliable way of moving the oil we all need every day from west to east. “The Dandelion Festival organizers were sought for comment, but didn’t reply by press time. Ecology Ottawa sent out a press release on May 3, which stated: ‘Ecology Ottawa applauds local musicians who are taking a stand by refusing to play at a music festival sponsored by TransCanada Corporation, the company behind the proposed Energy East pipeline, as well as a community crowd funding effort designed to send TransCanada pack-

ing.’ “It’s a great example of the power of musicians to turn up the volume on critical issues in our society,” says Graham Saul, Executive Director of Ecology Ottawa. “It reminds me of the days when musicians came together to launch a cultural boycott of South African Apartheid. Musicians are saying they aren’t going to play for oil and pipelines. It’s inspiring to see local artists and the community working in their own way to stand up to a giant oil and pipeline company.

Shriners Street Fair pulls in to Kemptville June 4-7 The Shriners Street Fair June 4-7, 2015, that is being held at the Food Basics lot, Hwy. 43, Kemptville will help raise funds to support local children to travel to and from the Shriners Children’s Hospital in Montreal. The Shriners support for local children with special needs is free. The fair is oriented toward teens and younger children. There will be rides for all ages. Food Basics provides the space as a sponsor and a service to the community. A number of other local busi-
nesses have supported the Shriners Fair over the years and continue to do so. These are: B&H Groceries, Star 97.5 Radio, Valley Sanitation, COBA Studios & Print Shop. The Shriners thank the North Grenville municipality, OPP, Fire Department and Ontario Health Unit for their participation and guidance While the Shriners have great fun, the Shriners’ purpose is to help children with special needs. The local Shriners provide a way for these special children to reach
the care that they need. Talk to the Shriners at the fair to obtain details of special needs help available. Save money All day ride tickets offer a significant saving for ride goers. Your child will want to take different rides and probably several times. Single tickets are available but the cost of your special day will rise. Consider advance allday ride tickets as a great option. All-day ride tickets can be purchased in advance at the B&H Groceries store, Downtown
Kemptville. The cost of the all-day coupon is $20. At the fair booth the allday coupon cost is $25. This is a significant saving. The coupons can be purchased up to the day before the event June 3. The fair runs from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. June 4, noon to 10 p.m. on June 5 and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday June 6, noon to 6 p.m. Sunday June 7. Times are subject to weather changes. Take a break Drop your shovel and rake.
Bring the kids to the Shriners Street Fair June 4-7. This will be the break you need from all that heavy gardening work. By attending the Shriners Street Fair you will be helping the Shriners with travel costs to transport children with special needs to one of the 22 Shriners Hospitals for Children and other Shriners activities for special needs children. The Canadian Shriners hospital is in Montreal. Even transportation to the Shriners Hospitals is free.
Shriners pay to get children to their appointments at hospitals. The Street Fair helps raise money for transportation to Shriners hospitals. In certain cases the Shriners children also work with CHEO. This is by doctor recommendation. Help the Shriners with their program to help local children. Talk to a Shriner at the fair to get details on the Shriners Hospital program. Submitted by the Shriners.

Join the fight against cancer by being part of Relay For Life 2015 Like others in the Canadian Cancer Society’s (CCS) Relay For Life (RFL) 2015 in Smiths Falls, the members of the Zendragon team have all been impacted by cancer in one way or another. “Most recently, a member of our Zen Family was diagnosed with cancer and has since successfully gone through cancer,” team captain Melissa Hillier relates. “Personally, I had a very good friend who was unable to beat Neuroblastoma as a child.” This is the third year Zendragon has participated in the RFL and Hillier says team members are looking forward to the Saturday, June 13 event, which will take place from 6 p.m. to midnight on the track of Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute. The Relay in Smiths Falls has moved from the traditional 12-hour format to six hours in 2015 to encourage more people, particularly families, to take part. “Relay For Life has been an amazing experience for us,” Hillier states. “Not only supporting a great cause, but also allowing us to form new friendships and strengthen existing
ones. The luminary ceremony is a very powerful experience, probably my favourite part of the night.” RFL is an inspirational, noncompetitive fundraising event that brings the community together to celebrate life and fight cancer. All proceeds raised go to the CCS to assist with cancer research and support the many programs that the society’s Lanark, Leeds & Grenville community office offers to those who have cancer, cancer survivors and caregivers. Last year’s event raised $58,200 with the 2015 target being $80,000. Zendragon is one of 12 teams registered to date for the June 13 RFL. Along with representation from the local Smiths Falls’ community, there will be participants in the event from Carleton Place, Perth, Kemptville, Athens and beyond. The Zendragon team already has 10 members and its team captain is expecting more to join them. “We have more children attending with us this year, since it is much more manageable to have them there for six hours instead of 12,” she says.
With the RFL 2015 in Smiths Falls being themed after a 1950s sock hop, fashion trends from that era such as poodle skirts, saddle shoes and bobby socks, as well as hula hoops, are expected to make a comeback for this special evening. “Details about our attire haven’t been discussed yet but I’m sure it will include some poodle skirts and records,” Hillier hints. After previously chairing the Survivors’ activities at the event, the Smiths Falls’ resident is honoured this year to have been asked to be the Community Crew Chair. “I believe that cancer is the one thing that we all have in common,” she shares. “Whether you have fought it yourself, you have been a caregiver, or a friend or family member has, I don’t know one person who hasn’t been affected by it in one way, shape or form.” Hillier would like to pass on the baton to others to take part in the June 13 event. “Sign up! You won’t regret it,” encourages the Community Crew Chair. “You have the option of participating solo or as a smaller team. It is an amazing,

Everything is bad for you
A
ccording to an article published in the May 4 edition of Maclean’s, drinking milk is not the best way to get calcium – nor is it environmentally sustainable, allegedly causing more harm than beef farming. Apparently, it takes 1,000 litres of water to make one litre of milk. I have decided that no matter what consumers do, we can’t win. Meat is bad. Filled with antibiotics. Fish is bad. Laden with mercury. Vegetables and fruit are bad. Covered in pesticides. Bread is bad. Filled with preservatives and bleached. We may as well all starve and hope to live forever. Here is my dilemma. I love food, as do the majority of people on Earth. I consider myself extremely, unaccountably fortunate to live in Canada – a developed country overrun with grocery stores and endless piles of food. More than we could ever need. So much, in fact, that at the end of the night, food gets thrown in the dumpster. We are lucky. I never have to worry about my children going hungry, even if I lose my job – a gift and privilege I never take for granted. I am sick and tired of reading all these ‘studies’ (paid for by whom exactly?) saying everything we eat is bad for us. We get it – there are so many downsides to having so much food available to us. I would like to see the look on people’s
JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION
faces in third world countries, if given the opportunity to read some of these articles…amusement perhaps? Disdain maybe? Who knows what they would think. But I can guarantee you they wouldn’t turn up their noses at a glass of milk offered to them, simply because it’s not the best way to get calcium or is less sustainable than farming Bok Choy (which is rich in calcium, by the way). The bottom line is I love milk. I have been drinking milk my whole life. As soon as my three kids were weaned, they began drinking homogenized milk. My oldest son is the second tallest boy in his class. He weighs over 60 pounds and he’s six years old. Solid muscle. My 16-month-old daughter is nearly 30 pounds, in the 85th percentile for growth. My 16-month-old son is in the 75th percentile for growth. Not bad for kids who started life weighing less than five pounds each. I draw the line at milk. Because I am old-school, and milk is delicious. Also, I don’t know too many kids willing to consume half a cup of almonds every day.

Shapes and textures From tree to art, this relic of a bygone forest is still beautiful in its own way.
Nearer to God in a garden than anywhere else on Earth The kiss of the sun for pardon The song of the birds for mirth One is nearer God’s heart in a garden Than anywhere else on Earth.” ~ Dorothy Frances Gurney
I
’ve been dying to get my hands on that garden. Well, perennial flowerbeds, really. They are overgrown with wild grape and morning glory vines and violets. Sounds lovely but they are choking out my daylilies, hostas, sedum and chrysanthemum. I imagined the best way to go about it would be to hack at the earth around each perennial plant, chopping it up so I can gain access to the weed roots, which I would pull out. Saturday morning dawned bright and beautiful and I set to work. The first attempt to insert a shovel failed, as the soil was so hard-packed, nothing was giving. I decided if I couldn’t dig up the weeds, I would smother them – with manure. I took my little plastic wheelbarrow to the manure pile and filled it with rich black loam. Composted manure just turns into

beautiful dark soil and makes a great mix for topsoil. If you put too much on it is quite acidic and can burn your plants, as I have discovered in the past. I figured this would be a good method of weed extermination. When the Farmer came home and saw me struggling to move a heavy wheelbarrow that was literally buckling under the weight of all that composted poop, he said, “dump it.” I have learned to be patient with my husband. He uses words sparingly, preferring to communicate telepathically. I have not yet learned how to receive these unspoken messages, however, so if I wait I find I get another word or two. “I’ll bring you a bucket,” he said, and motioned for me to slide the barn door open.
Oy vay. Here I am delicately sifting composted manure around and through my beloved plants. He wants to drop a front loader bucket onto them. In his defence, the plan was for me to stand in the garden and pull the manure off the bucket with my shovel. The problem is the bucket on that ancient one-eyed broken-down tractor keeps shaking up and down, and I was getting composted manure down my boots, the neckline of my shirt, in my hair and eyes. I stood back and let him dump it. I spent the rest of the afternoon trying to uncover my plants. Oh well. Last year they were so prolific they were choking each other out. This year, the little tips of each plant will have to prove their tenacity. Next, realizing I had about one hour of gardening left before my back and hamstrings gave out, I brought out the bag of bulbs I received for my birthday. Twenty-four burgundy and white glads to line the stone wall and stand in the sun beside the playhouse. I can’t wait to see them grow, and cut them down for the Sunday dinner table. Again, we’ll see if they survive the copious amounts of acidic manure.
By 5pm my back was broken and I was done, with a feeling of real accomplishment. Contributing to my dorsal discomfort was the fact that I had washed a very filthy dog that morning as well. Cody decided he didn’t like my last column about his 100-year-old wobbly legs, and when his chain broke on Wednesday he decided to set off down the road to see just how far they would carry him. He is a pup at heart, but I’m sure he had to have a few naps along the way down the road, past the intersection and into the ditch about two kilometres away where he collapsed in a culvert, looking for a drink of water.
That is where Mr. Neuendorff found him. Lucky for Cody, Mr. N. and his wife are big dog lovers. They took him home, fed him and loved him up until we eventually found each other again. You’re only as old as you feel, I guess. After that day of gardening, I reckon I feel just about as old as that dog. I can’t stand up straight. A Robaxacet for me and a dog biscuit for Cody and all is right with the world. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Neuendorff, for your extreme kindness. dianafisheer1@gmail.com the accidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com

Kemptville’s Holy Cross Church in process of improving accessibility jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
Accessing the front entrance of Holy Cross Church in Kemptville has always been a challenge for the elderly and parishioners with mobility issues, according to Reverend Andrew Shim. The new entrance way, which is currently in the stone work phase, was designed to be all on one level. Parishioners will soon be able to drive right up to the entrance of the church and enter from the front, without having to climb any steps. “Accessibility is the key,” said Rev. Shim. Work on the new entrance way began roughly one year ago. “Originally, we were going to use man-made stone, but we decided instead to use real stone,” said Rev. Shim. “In 25 years, man-made stone starts to separate. The natural stone will blend better with the exterior.” He said there is a notable difference in colour between the existing stone (faded grey) and the new stone (much darker grey). “Initially, it will appear a different colour, but as it ages, being exposed to daylight and oxidization, the stone will look the same,” said Rev. Shim. He displayed an image of a
10-year-old sample wall from the same quarry in Quebec where the stone comes from, which was a close match to the current stone exterior of Holy Cross. He said the work is projected to be completed by the middle of summer 2015. “It’s not just the stone work left to be done,” said Rev. Shim. “There’s paving to be done and landscaping as well.” He explained another advantage of the new entrance way is the creation of an enclosed greeting area for parishioners. “The church is a sacred space, intended for worship,” said Rev. Shim. “This new space will be useful for people to greet one another and converse.” He said the new entrance way will provide a better setting for weddings and funerals as well. “People can drive up to the front,” said Rev. Shim. The driveway up to the front of the church connects to the current rectory driveway and will lead into the parking lot on the west side of the structure. “The new entrance way is also covered for inclement weather, which is beneficial for the elderly,” said Rev. Shim. The entrance way was designed to match the existing entrance to the church, with a proportionally similar archway
facing the street. “It was designed to match the rest of the archways in the church.” When the new archway is complete, the inside of the arch will be lined with custom pieces of natural stone. “Each piece had to be custom cut to fit the section of arch it was designed for,” said Rev. Shim. The roof of the new entrance will also match the current structure by featuring tin. “We found some old tin we will be restoring for the roof.” He said the idea behind the design of the new entrance is for it to blend in with the church. “The idea is in 10 years’ time, you shouldn’t be able to tell it’s an addition,” said Rev. Shim. Kennedy Historical Masonry, based in Moose Creek, is the company doing the stone work for the entrance way. They specialize in restoring old stone structures. The contractor for the project is Guy Morgan. He explained the reason for all the windows and high ceilings in the new entrance is to avoid blocking the original entrance to the church. “We didn’t want to block the beauty of the arch,” said Rev. Shim. The new glass doors on the entrance way were designed to be

approximately the same size as the original doors of the church. Holy Cross Church has already seen extensive interior renovations, including a new confessional area, re-furbishing of the Stations of the Cross (a series of paintings depicting certain scenes in the Passion of Christ), re-furbishing of all the statues in the church, re-painting of the entire interior, changes to the alter and opening of the archway adjacent to the altar. “All the work has been done
in the last four years or so,” said Rev. Shim. He explained the fundraising campaign for the renovations began in 2006 and the interior church work began in January 2011. “When all the exterior work is done, the Bishop will be coming down to bless the church,” said Rev. Shim.

GCFDC funding gives boost to four projects in North Grenville Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
A $32,902 funding announcement was made by MP Gord Brown during the sixth annual North Grenville Economic Development Appreciation Breakfast, which took place at the North Grenville Municipal Centre on April 24. The funds will be going to four local organizations, including the Kemptville College Renewal Task Force, BR+E Alliance, Old Town Kemptville BIA and the North Grenville Builders’ Development Identification Signing. Representatives from Grenville Community Futures Development Corporation, which provided the funds, were on hand for the presentation, which was made to members of North Grenville Council. “This money, the way it was decided to be distributed, was made by the board members of GCFDC,” said Brown. “They know the community best. The GCFDC does a great job and this money will be well spent.” The money was provided through the Community Eco-
nomic Development program and through the Eastern Ontario Development program, funded as part of the Community Futures program by the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario. “These projects each assisted with a specific priority regarding economic development in North Grenville,” said Tom Bailey, chair of the GCFDC. “In each case, the investment was made in projects and sectors core to the municipal economic development strategy and in each case they help promote growth in the area.” The GCFDC is a community based, not-for-profit organization, funded by the Government of Canada through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario. The purpose of the GCFDC is delivering community strategic planning, community economic development assistance, business financing and business counselling services to new and existing business and organizations in Grenville County.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 You are a mystery lately, Aries. No one is quite sure what you will do next and you may like to surprise. But share your plans every so often with those closest to you. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, surround yourself with positive people who maintain optimistic outlooks. Many opportunities will open up if you keep a positive attitude. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you may resist social activities this week at first, but soon you will get swept up in the fun and lose your inhibitions. Use social activities as a way to network. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, if you are thinking about a career move, it’s about time you put your plans in motion. This week you may find you are full of energy and ready for a new challenge. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, a renewed sense of enthusiasm has you eager to get started on future plans. Perhaps a new course of study will suffice and pave the way for new experiences. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 A chance encounter with an old flame stirs up feelings you didn’t realize you still had, Virgo. Even if these feelings are less dramatic, you’re still tempted to act on them.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, it is up to you to initiate action in a situation that leaves you somewhat uncomfortable this week. Don’t hesitate to step up and take charge.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, others may try to stop you from having fun, but you are determined to enjoy yourself. Your entire week is focused on having a good time with friends and family. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, although you cannot control all of the changes in your life, you do have firm control over your personal health. Don’t put off revamping your diet and exercise plan. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, close friends will keep you pretty busy over the next few days, but you can handle it. Let off steam with a few different fun activities when time allows. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Use caution when making decisions this week, Pisces. You can be prone to impulsive behavior, and you don’t want to find yourself in trouble. 0507

THANK YOU
BARBARA ELIZABETH ROYCE
To our loving family and friends for the many hugs, prayers, cards, food and the support through this difficult time. We greatly appreciate it. To Dr. Sinclair and his team and many more doctors and nurses at the Civic Hospital. You gave us so much help and support through this journey. To the doctors and nurses at the Smiths Falls hospital for the wonderful care and compassion you gave us. We had the honour of the Ruby Giff Palliative Care room in the Smiths Falls Hospital. So many thanks to her family. It gave us so much comfort to stay with Dad during his final days. We were so fortunate to have Dad respond on his arrival home and thankful that he knew family and friends. We had some special moments with Dad, he asked questions, recognized us sometimes and had a great sense of humor. He even tried to pickup a couple nurses and we will cherish those memories. To Sean Foster for writing Dad’s eulogy from his brothers and sisters. Also to Prudence Cameron Jordan for the strength to speak on our behalf. It was so very touching. To Luke and the staff at the Perth Planing Mill for the wonderful cedar display at the funeral home to place Dad’s memories on, the cedar shims and the Perth Planing Truck at the church. It was a great send off, Dad would have been so proud. To John for his kind words. We cannot express how grateful we are for your true friendship and support you gave to Dad through good times and bad over the years and your very touching tribute to Dad. To Luke whom touched so many people’s hearts with the stories you remember of Dad. We will look at a map differently, and an auction sale will never be the same without a chuckle. To Dad’s fishing and hunting buddies, he loved the sport and we thank you for making his dreams come true, especially the Doug-Mobile. To Dad’s card playing friends who provided him transportation when he needed to get to a game and social time he loved so much. To Dad’s pallbearers, you were not only good friends, but you were a part of Dad’s life. Thank you for being part of his celebration of life. To the staff at Blair & Son for the true compassion that you gave our family. Thank you Stewart for choosing the music for us on Dad’s behalf. It was so beautiful. To Reverend Shelly for the beautiful service on Dad’s behalf and to the Balderson Church for the delicious luncheon. Dad was a well respected, honest, hardworking man. He cared and loved his family and friends, we will miss him so much. Knowing Dad will be reunited with the love of his life Marlene and son Charlie, and so many other loved ones in Heaven, gives some strength to go on.

IN MEMORIAM
CRAWFORD – In fond and loving memory of the best husband and father in the world, Orval Crawford, who passed away 12 years ago May 3, 2003. We have learned with silent effort To hide the tears that start But we cannot hide the longing That lies within our hearts. Wherever life may take us Whatever we may do The memories of the years we shared Will keep us close to you. There’s a family who misses you dearly In a home where you used to be There’s a family that wanted to keep you But God willed it not to be. You left many happy memories and a sorrow too great to be told But to us who loved and lost you Your memories will never grow old. Too dearly loved to ever be forgotten by his loving wife Dolly, four sons, and their families

HAWKINS – In memory of Ken Hawkins – May 3, 2001. Although you can’t be with me, We’re truly not apart, Until the final breath I take, You’ll be living in my heart. All my love Judy DIXON, Duane – In loving memory of a dear husband, Duane, who passed away on May 7, 1995. God called your name so quietly, That only you could hear, And no one heard the footsteps, Of angels drawing near. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of me went with you, The day God called you home. Forever loved and missed dearly, Joan
LEVAC - In loving memory of our parents and grandparents, Janice Marie (Baxter) May 2, 1994 and Arthur Joseph, May 9, 1997. We thought of you with love today But that is nothing new.

Deforge – In loving memory of our little Angel, Jamie Elizabeth Deforge, who was a Granddaughter, a Daughter, a Sister and an Aunt who passed away 13 years ago, May 10 , 2002. This day will be a celebration Of the short time you were here. You will always be remembered With great love and many tears. But to only feel pain and sorrow Would not be fair to you. Your life meant so much more to us, More than words could ever say. You were here so briefly, I know you knew All the ways you’ve touched Our world and our hearts And everyone who knew you Since the day God called you home. Now our child and sister you’re an Angel With your heavenly Father above, We see not only what we’ve lost But our capacity of love. There will always be a big void In our lives and a hole in our Hearts that will never heal. Our souls will grieve forever. Will we forget or stop loving you? No! Not now … not ever. As this day is upon us, Oh how our hearts still hurt. But, even as we mourn your death, We will always celebrate your birth. It was and always will be, the happiest days of our lives. We will always love you and remember you in our hearts forever. You are never far away. Love Grandma (Clarice) Duncan, Mom and Dad, Douglas, Jenna, Jamie, and Jaxsen, Michelle and Chris

DIXON, Duane – In loving memory of a dear father, father-in-law and grandfather who passed away on May 7, 1995. Things we feel most deeply, Are the hardest things to say, But Dad you’re missed and loved, In a very special way. If we could have one life time wish, One dream we know would come true.

Instead he embarks on a search for the right princess for Dauntless who convinces him to keep looking despite the fact his mother says no.

The word “pea” has just three letters. So does the word “fun”. Both words were at the heart of a just concluded presentation by the Mississippi Mudds theatrical troupe of Carleton Place in the Town Hall Auditorium. The Mudds have been around for 40 years and they certainly know how to tickle your funny bone. Their version of Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale ‘The Princess and the Pea’ is an action-packed, song-filled delight from start to finish. The Mudds’ spring show was called ‘Once Upon A Mattress.’ It is the stage adaptation of Andersen’s classic story about a young prince, desperate to find and marry a princess, who runs into a major obstacle in the form of his possessive mother. Once Upon A Mattress fea-
tures music by Mary Rodgers, the daughter of well-known American composer Richard Rodgers (she died last year) and lyrics by lyricist/songwriter Marshall Barer (1923-1998). The original production opened in New York City in 1959. It marked the Broadway debut of Texas-born actress/comedian / singer Carol Burnett who went on to a stellar career in television and films. Burnett received a Tony nomination for her work in Once Upon A Mattress. The musical comedy is set in a fictional kingdom in 15th Century Europe ruled by the devious Queen Aggravain and her mute husband King Sextimus the Silent. The King labours under a curse which has rendered him speechless and can’t be reversed “until the mouse devours the hawk.” In the local presentation Mudds’ veteran Michele Eno

cess Winnifred who he found in the muddy grasslands. Winnifred is so eager to arrive at the castle and meet the prince that she swims the moat, impressing virtually everyone. I have no intention of outlining the entire plot. Suffice it to say the Queen meets her match in the free spirited, indomitable Princess Winnifred, played by Jennifer Vorano in what I thought was a show-stealing performance. Vorano has excellent stage presence along with a strong singing voice. All about fun I used the word fun in the lead and that’s what this latest offering by the Mudds was all about. Plenty of laughs, loads of action, outstanding costumes along with good scenery and props. The production was interspersed with some very good songs that once wowed Broadway audiences. Director Sandra Dunlop, producer Karen Lapointe and musical director Laurel Tye deserve great credit for staging a thoroughly enjoyable musicalcomedy. The casting was superb and I have to credit another Mudds’ veteran, Robert Horne, for his handling of the extremely demanding role of the mute King Sextimus. His timing during the various sight gags and his ability to (somehow) perform so capably without uttering a word, for almost the entire production, is laudable. Horne’s facial expressions during the pantomimes he performs are priceless! The biggest disappointment for me was the small turnout. The auditorium wasn’t even half full on Friday, April 24. I realize the Senators were busy dismantling Les Canadiens in Game 5 at exactly the same time. I wanted to see the game too. But I made a better choice on this night. (The show was plagued by low attendance which is really unfortunate.) Once Upon A Mattress was funny, frantic, romantic and melodic. And I want to acknowledge some of the other fine performances in this show. Another Mudds’ regular, Trish Smith, was excellent as the Minstrel who not only regaled the audience with song but also acted as narrator, setting the scene for certain elements of the show. Other important roles were that of the Jester, well managed by Jennifer Pfitzer, while Adam Pelletier was strong in the dual roles of the Wizard and Nightingale. Kiera Uriarte also did double duty as Princess No. 12 (Winnifred is No. 13) and Knight No. 1.

Also among the main players were veteran actor, director Mark Piper as Sir Studley and another youth theatre product Hayley Fortier as Sir Luce. Of course the supporting cast of 11 Ladies-in-Waiting also did yeoman service. The band, led by Peter Brown was solid as always and the musical numbers were very strong. I liked Many Moons Ago, In a Little While and Sensitivity in Act 1. In the second act I particularly enjoyed Happily Ever After (a solo by Vorano) and the very funny Man to Man Talk (featuring Sextimus miming the facts of life to an uncertain Dauntless). My only regret on the musical side was that we didn’t get to hear Piper’s strong voice more often. The costume team, which included Eno herself (the Queen’s gowns are stunning), deserve ap-
plause. Well done, ladies. The sets, designed by Jeff Lee and Kate Martin, are outstanding. The bed and mattresses, so key to the conclusion, are really impressive. In recent years the local troupe has produced some excellent shows including Nunsense Two: The Second Coming in spring 2013. It was a sequel to the highly successful Nunsense One (which Mudds offered as ‘Nunsense: The Mega-Musical’) in December 2010. They also staged the extremely funny ‘Noises Off’ in spring 2012. Once Upon a Mattress joins a long line of very good shows by Carleton Place’s own theatrical troupe, an organization the entire community should be proud of.

What Oscar Knows That Doctors Don’t Know Originally published April 25th,
R0013260322_0507
Limerick Forest Envirothon offers hands-on learning
ADVERTISEMENT
2015 Years ago the family cat, usually aloof, suddenly decided to spend time on my father-in-law’s lap months before he died of pancreatic cancer. Why? Another family reports in a Toronto newspaper that their pet feline recently began a vigil on a loved one’s lap just before he died. So what did the cat know that wasn’t taught to me at The Harvard Medical School? The New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Gifford-Jones not noted for publishing trivia, surprised doctors several years ago by publishing a photo of Oscar, the cat. This male feline had become famous for his uncanny ability to predict death. Oscar did not have a noble background. Rather, he had been saved as a young kitten, by staff members of a geriatric nursing center. They bailed him out of an animal shelter. Little did they know he was headed for celebrity. It wasn’t too long before staff members noted that Oscar had a knack for knowing when a patient was about to die. Nurses at Steere House Nursing Center, in Providence R.I., reported that Oscar ‘would snap to attention’ when he sensed the end was near for a patient. It was like an army drill. His routine rarely varied. He would arrive at the patient’s bedside four hours before death occurred and curl up alongside the patient. Often he would be purring, paying attention to the patient’s breathing, while family members gathered and the priest administered last rights. Then when death finally came he would quietly leave the room. During that time, while I was visiting Rhode Island, I got first-hand reports about Oscar. When I asked nursing staff, ‘What’s his track record?’, they told me Oscar had not missed a diagnosis in 25 deaths. What a great batting average! Luckily, he had limited his death vigil to elderly patients in a terminal care facility. But Oscar could scare you to death if, aware of his diagnostic skills, you were scheduled for surgery in a few hours, and Oscar suddenly took a fancy to your bed. Any one in his right mind would get dressed and go home. The big question is how does Oscar, who didn’t graduate Summa Cum Laude from Medical School, know so much about approaching death? Doctors I talked to at Steere House didn’t have an answer. But they had several theories. Some personnel believe that Oscar, and cats in general, are sensitive to the human world and great observers of human routine. They contend he watches the increased activity that occurs in a patient’s room prior to death. One doctor said, ‘He most likely enjoys the warm blankets placed around a patient at that time.’ Others believe it’s a lack of movement that attracts Oscar as the dying patient in bed becomes quiet. I question that theory. Oscar, like other animals, lives in a world of scents rather than sight. His vision is 10 X less than humans but his sense of smell is 14 X stronger. So when he cuddles up to a patient he has 200 million odour cells compared to our mere 5 million. I talked to several specialists who believe that certain chemicals are released when a patient is dying, and Oscar detects the odour. I’m sure the secret will die with Oscar. But Oscar’s uncanny ability to detect the time of death took my thoughts back decades ago when I was hotel doctor at The Manoir Richelieu in La Mal Baie, Quebec. A 90 year old Baptist minister from Texas was a guest of the hotel along with his two daughters. He suddenly became ill due to a heart condition and refused to go to the local hospital. He claimed if he was going to die he would prefer to do so looking over the St. Lawrence River. At one point he became so close to death I relieved his nurses. I’d wait by his side until he died. But he did not die. And in a few days, much to our surprise, walked out of the hotel to return to Texas. Oscar, where were you when I needed you? You could have saved a young doctor lot of embarrassment. Online: docgiff.com ; For comments: info@docgiff.com
HC students learn about environmental responsibility on Earth Day Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
Educating children about environmental responsibility provides hope for the future. The students at Holy Cross Catholic School in Kemptville celebrated Earth Day on April 22. Nancy Granda’s Grade 1 class began the day by sharing prayers the students had written about why they were thankful for the world. Some of the children were thankful for the food, some for the animals and some simply loved the world. The students made pictures of the Earth, with cut-outs of their hands holding the world, the day prior. The class shared a special snack of all green foods, including grapes, honeydew melon, celery and broccoli, which was provided by the Earth Day Committee. The funds for the snack, which were purchased at Jonsson’s Independent Grocer at a fraction of the cost, were provided by a Metro Green Apple Grant of $1,000. Granda then read to the children from a book titled ‘Dear Children of the Earth,’ by Schim Schimmel. The book is all about living things needing to be cared for and loved. It refers to all living things as one big family. “Think about that,” said Granda. “If we’re one big family, then what do we
need to do? How do we take care of each other?” In the book, all the animals go to Mother Earth and say they are scared because their homes are being destroyed and polluted. The animals want Mother Earth to remind people all living things are brothers and sisters. “We’ve talked about the balance of nature before,” said Granda. “Everything on the planet needs to be balanced.” In the book, Mother Earth then tells the children of the Earth that they have a job to do. “All small acts of kindness and helping add up to big ones,” said Granda. “All our efforts together can make a big difference.” Mother Earth then explains in her letter that even though the Earth is big, there is only one – whereas there are billions of people. “What are some of the things we can do to help Mother Earth?” asked Granda. The children responded with recycling, composting and not littering. The book ends with the simple message of ‘I need you (children) to love me (Earth).’ “I think you guys already love the Earth,” said Granda. “Remember I showed you that plastic bottle and we found out it takes 70 years for it to break down. That’s a very, very long time. Most of you will be grandparents by
then.” She explained to the students composting is very beneficial, as it aids a natural process and keeps organic materials out of landfills. “We learned all about recycling and how if you put the wrong things in the recycling, it may all end up in the garbage, so it’s very important to recycle properly,” said Granda. “The video we watched showed all the wonderful things that could be made Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND from recycled maThe students at Holy Cross Catholic School in Kemptville celebrated Earth Day on April terials.” She explained 22.

Down and Dirty If you ever needed a reason to get out in the garden and take your kids with you, this might help. It may just be the healthiest decision you’ve ever made. For years now I’ve been wondering about why the dramatic increase in children’s allergies. Peanut butter was a staple in our sandwiches when I was in school. If you bring a peanut within 100 feet of a school now, you will be escorted off the property. So what’s going on? Why are we becoming so much more allergic? According to the Centre for Disease Control, between 1997 and 2011 there has been a 50% increase in allergic reactions to all number of things. A seven fold increase in children’s hospital admissions for severe reactions. Most of the information is out of the U.S. They claim that 8% of children in the country have some sort of food allergy. And that doesn’t include hay fever, asthma, eczema or pet allergies. All rising at similar rates. I’ve spent most of the day trying to find answers. It may just be that we are sanitizing our way to sickness. When you get some time, Google “Hygiene Hypothesis” or “Dr. Joel Weinstock”, Chief of Gastroenterology at Tufts Medical Centre in Boston. Turns out that this is a “First World” phenomena. Kids in third world countries and kids here that are raised on a farm or have many siblings have much lower or non

existent allergy rates. A lot more research has to be done but evidence is quickly mounting. It would appear that we are systematically killing off all the beneficial microbes in our gut that are the foundation of our immune system. Antibiotics, and antibacterial cleaning products are the main suspects. Dr. Weinstock has also published some very interesting information on the elimination of helminths ( tiny worms that once lived in our small intestines). Fascinating stuff! So what can you do? Get the kids out in the garden. Expose them to all things natural. Expose them to microbes and bugs and fungi and animals. Expose them to sunshine and to work. Show them that the earth is a system of interconnected organisms. We are not alone on this planet and we can not sterilize it. We have to live within nature and stop trying to dominate it. Show them the “real” in reality not the virtual. If we can’t find the solutions we will be a very clean sick society. My grandmother always said, “ you have to eat a peck of dirt before you die”. I had to look up just how much a peck was. Turns out to be 8.81 litres. That’s a lot of dirt but over the long haul, not that much. Maybe it’s time we got down and dirty.

Perfect weather for annual Merrickville garage sale
Sunny skies shone down on bargain hunters in Merrickville Saturday, May 2 as the village was overtaken with people looking for deals during its annual yard sale day. The mass yard sale invites residents to set up individual sales and businesses to offer merchandise at discounted prices. On the right, A Chance Animal Rescue has held a fundraising barbecue for several years in the parking lot of the Merrickville LCBO. They were back again this year with their Dogs for Dogs barbecue, offering up hot dogs and sausages.

Real versus value-added foods Nutrition Matters HEATHER WESTENDORP
sumers that foods are more beneficial if they come in a pretty package that is deemed safer and exceed real food value. These foods are processed, injected with added nutrient value, prepared in a sanitized factory, packaged in plastic and have extensive shelf life. Many consumers cannot imagine buying celery with a little dirt in between the stalks. Then the question becomes, what do I do with it? Real food needs to be cleaned and prepared to eat. Imagine having to cut up vegetables and prepare them? Raw food has become a mystery to many consumers. The art of cooking food has been lost amidst fear of poisoning our children. The average grocery store has access to 320,000 items offered by manufacturers. Each store will carry approximately 40,000 items to fill their shelves. Grocery shopping is similar to a deer caught in the headlights syndrome. There are so many choices, it is overwhelming. Consumers eat out and buy prepackaged foods to avoid having to make meal decisions. It is common belief that
preparing food and cooking is too time consuming to be bothered. Why plan for meals when there is a restaurant on every corner? Even the grocery stores offer a huge selection of ready-made meals for your family. While our grandmothers simply cannot imagine why young people eat out all the time, our generation cannot imagine spending time planning what you will prepare for evening supper during breakfast. I would never have expected Kraft Dinner would feature a noodle product calling itself cauliflower, or a milk beverage that features flax seed added Omega 3s, yogurt and margarine that contain cholesterol lowering plant sterols and even gluten free meat in my lifetime. The consumer is left to figure out that Kraft Dinner is still not the same as cauliflower, a milk beverage is not the same as milk, the plant sterols added to margarine still counts as fat and there is no gluten in meat to start with. Food manufacturing has become a battlefield of loosely based labelling to entice consumers to purchase their product and pay more for
something that offers a blue label or 5 stars. Our Grandmothers continue to shop for fresh foods and whole foods while our generation shakes their heads about why in the world grocery stores even continue to sell buttermilk and old fashioned yeast. People just want to be healthy, favour fresh vegetables and fruit, avoid salt and refined sugar, get plenty of outdoor recreation, see their doctor regularly and not worry. Life is for living, it should be simple. What to eat and how to eat has become confusing and overwhelming for all consumers. Submitted photo Value-added foods contain extra nutrients and vitamins in foods that otherwise would not be there. This allows the North Grenville Fire Service battled a railroad car fire on May 5, at the manufacturers to charge more railroad crossing on Bedell Road in Kemptville. for the product. Manufacturers and grocery stores make more money while claiming they are offering healthier choices. Foods in a box have much longer shelf life and offer less waste than selling fresh foods that will deteriorate and create loss. I want food that will go bad and deteriorate, because it is alive. No box or frozen dinner will offer me food that contains naturally occurring vitamins Exclusive TimeCutter zero turn tractor and minerals.

News articles often focus on the science of nutrition, exercise, balance, disease and food fads. Peeling a banana is easy. Preparing a variety of foods to prepare a meal is quickly turning into a lost art. Our grandparents made food look easy as they made meals that filled the kitchen with the smell of home and tasted delicious. Grandma used the foods around her and started with basic whole foods. She did not buy boxed cookies, dehydrated potatoes, mini carrots, or ready to serve meat. Food trending has resulted in giving the commercially prepared foods a licence to feed us whatever they want; provided they meet the changing scientific nutritional consumer demands. The general public has become afraid to cook foods for themselves due to food safety questions. It has honestly been so long that our generation has been out of the kitchen, that we have forgotten the basic skills of cooking and storing food. On one hand, nutritional advice leads us to enjoy the health benefits of a diet based largely on food plants - fruit, vegetables and grains. This has not changed in 50 years. Research is consistently supporting this information. On the other hand, people seem increasingly confused about what they are supposed to eat to stay healthy. Value-added foods play a large part in convincing con-

If you are looking for something different in the theatre scene this spring, come to the Municipal Centre May 8, 9 and 10 to see the Kemptville Players’ production of “The 39 Steps: A Live Radio Play” written by Joe Landry, and directed by Sandra Tobin. The players have been rehearsing their parts, and are just about ready to spring into action. As announced in the title, the play is set in a radio studio, and is being “broadcast” live. All sound, light and musical effects will be produced on stage to create the broadcast atmosphere. These effects will be produced by Steve Wendt, Leigh Doiron, Terry Watkiss, and Louise Atchison respectively. Let KPI bring you back to the time of the radio play, or introduce to a form of entertainment that you have never experienced, depending on how old you are! The production is complete with commercials and singers singing jingles - all connected in some way to the ongoing theme of the play - and all in good fun. Our jingle singers are Paula Henke, Brenda Reid and Helen MacGregor.
Only the main character - Richard Hannay (played by Michael Bonner) will be portrayed solely by one actor. All other characters will play at least one other role in the production. Main female leads are Annabella Smith, (Diane Miller), and Pamela Stewart (Ellen Fawcett). All other actors: Richard Croteau, Laura Drover, and Monica Cleland, play multiple roles to round out the cast. These roles will be denoted by costume and speech changes. As an added bonus, on Mother’s Day, May 10th, Kemptville Florist has partnered with KPI to honor the first one hundred mothers to come through the doors with a free carnation. Be sure to bring your mom to the matinee performance at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday! Friday and Saturday performances are 7:30 p.m. and the doors open 1/2 hour before show times. Tickets are $15 each and available at North Grenville Municipal Centre Service Desk during regular office hours, at B&H your Community Grocer, and at Business Strategies. They are also available by calling 613.258.2051. For more information, check us out at www.kemptvilleplayers.ca
Prescription drug drop-off day Submitted
The Grenville County OPP will be participating in a province-wide initiative that will provide residents an opportunity to dispose of old and unused prescription medications.

Built in the late nineteenth century, the house displays many elements of Victorian architecture, including double bay windows, high gables decorated with detailed wood trim, an upper exterior porch, and an elegant entrance. Between the upper and lower storeys the brickwork is decorated with a course of a moulded pattern of swirls. The house has a fireplace with a window above it, with the chimney being curved within the wall. The property also features an original two-storey carriage house.

The unusual chimney is an integral part of the building, rather than something added on. This building has housed many businesses. It was originally the shop and residence of Alexander Williamson, a tailor from New Bond Street in London. It then became the Pig’s Ear tavern, with rooms for rent above. In the 1850s, the building became a shop selling stoves, and in the 1860s was used by Frost and Wood as a store where farmers exchanged produce for manufactured goods.

Safety Info for Home, Cottage and reCreatIon A message from your Leeds Grenville Fire Prevention Committee Smoke Alarms
Carbon Monoxide Safety Tips
Ontario law requires that working smoke alarms be loacted on every storey of the home and outside all sleeping areas. Failure to comply with the Fire Code smoke alarm requirements could result in a ticket for $360. or a fine up to $50,000 for individuals or $100,000 for corporations. • test smoke alarms monthly • change the battery in each smoke alarm once a year or whenever the low-battery warning sounds • vacuum the exterior of the smoke alarm using the soft bristle attachment on the vacuum cleaner • replace smoke alarms that are more than ten years old • always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installing, testing and maintaining smoke alarms
Carbon Monoxide Alarms are the law. Often called the silent killer, carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless, colorless gas created when fuels (such as gasoline, wood, coal, natural gas, propane, oil, and methane) burn incompletely. In the home, heating and cooking equipment that burn fuel can be sources of carbon monoxide. Failure to comply with the Fire Code carbon monoxide alarm requirements could result in a ticket for $360 or a fine up to $50,000 for individuals or $100,000 for corporations.

At the start of the BBQ season, do this three-step safety check of your BBQ: 1. Clean: Use a pipe cleaner or wire to ensure burner ports are free of rust, dirt, spider webs or other debris. 2. Check: Examine the hose leading from the tank to the burners. Replace if cracked or damaged. 3. Test: Find leaks by applying a 50/50 solution of water and dish soap to propane cylinder connections and hoses. If bubbles appear, tighten the connection and/or replace the damaged parts and retest.

Do’s and Don’ts for handling a BBQ DO… • keep loose clothing away from a hot barbecue • keep children and pets at a safe distance • turn gas valve off first when finished, then turn off the burner controls, so no gas is left in the connecting hose • allow the BBQ to cool completely before closing the cover

Make sure the area behind your BBQ is free of combustible material, since this is where hot gases escape

• Generators should be used in well ventilated locations outside away from doors, windows and vent openings. • Never use a generator in an attached garage • Place generators so that exhaust fumes can’t enter the home through doors, windows or vents. • Make sure to install carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in your home. • Turn off generators and let them cool down before refueling. • Never refuel a generator while it is running. • Store fuel in a container that is intended for and is correctly labeled. Store containers outside of living areas.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for placement and mounting height. • Choose a CO alarm that has the label of a recognized testing laboratory. • Call your local fire department’s non-emergency number to find out what number to call if the CO alarm sounds. • Test CO alarms at least once a month; replace them according to the manufacturer’s instructions. • If the audible trouble signal sounds, check for low batteries. If the battery is low, replace it. If it still sounds, call the fire department. • If the CO alarm sounds, immediately move to a fresh air location outdoors or by an open window or door. Make sure everyone inside the home is accounted for. Call for help from a fresh air location and stay there until emergency personnel. Have your applainces checked annually, including woodstove and fireplace chimneys. For more carbon monoxide information log onto www.tssa.org.
Campfires Check with your local fire department, municipality, or Ministry of Natural Resources to determine whether open air burning is permitted before having a campfire or burning brush. If open burning is allowed, fires should be built on bare soil or on exposed rock. Remove leaves and twigs from around the fire to keep it from spreading. Always keep a bucket of water, sand, or even a shovel close by and supervise the fire at all times. • Never build a campfire on a windy day. Sparks or embers from the fire could travel quite a distance setting an unintentional fire. • Watch the wind direction to ensure sparks aren’t getting on flammable materials. Put the fire out if wind changes begin to cause concern. • Use crumpled paper and/or kindling to start a fire rather than flammable liquids. • Don’t burn garbage. The deadly toxins produced may cause illness to you and your neighbours. • Never leave campfires unattended. Closely supervise children while roasting marshmallows. • Teach children how to STOP, DROP and ROLL should their clothing catch on fire. Teach children to cool a burn with running water for 3–5 minutes.
