Theatre to be re-named the ‘Urbandale Arts Centre’ Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
A five-year agreement for the naming rights of the municipal theatre has been struck with Urbandale Construction. The agreement will see the theatre at the North Grenville Municipal Centre become the ‘Urbandale Arts Centre.’ The five-year agreement, at a cost of $7,500 per year for Urbandale, will include exterior and interior signage. It will also involve a namechange on all marketing
material for the theatre, such as brochures. Mark Guy, Director of Parks, Recreation and Culture, explained the recreation department has been working hard to develop marketing partnerships. “We are trying to develop new ways to promote the theatre and halls,” he said. “We are fortunate to have a co-op student with us for six months who has looked at trends and the types of people who come to this facility.” He said municipal staff were approached by

Urbandale, an Ottawa-based company and the developer behind the Country Walk subdivision on Pinehill Road in Kemptville, about purchasing the naming rights of the theatre. “This room would be referred to as the ‘Urbandale Arts Centre,’” said Guy. “We are very excited about this.” He said the official unveiling of the Urbandale Arts Center is tentatively set for June 10. “Urbandale has also provided $500 towards hosting the unveiling and the 10-year anniversary celebration,” said Guy. In addition to the naming rights, the agreement also includes four hours of theatre usage and 1.5 hours of ice time per year, either for Urbandale’s own purposes or to give away to a non-profit group. Guy explained Urbandale is paying for the design and construction of the signs and municipal staff have agreed to install them. “Council will have to approve the mock-ups first,” he said.

country,” for his top-down management style, his omnibus legislation, his lack of action on climate change, and other criticisms, he also appeared to have lost patience with federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau. “Mr. Trudeau was making some very poor decisions,” said Fenik. One was Trudeau’s decision to tell MPs and prospective candidates that, if they were pro-life, that he would not sign their nomination papers. “I am pro-choice,” said See FENIK page 5

Perth Mayor John Fenik sent shockwaves through the political world this week when the lifelong Liberal announced that he was going to be seeking the federal nomination for the New Democratic Party. “I spent a lot of time thinking about this venture,” said Fenik, during a telephone interview this past Tuesday morning. “I talked to some key people in my life about it. I knew it was going to surprise a lot of people and be a bit of a shocker. (But) I needed to go where my heart takes me.” He made his decision midApril, when he put his name in to be vetted as a possible NDP candidate – following courting local New Democrats, and several phone calls from Ottawa Centre NDP MP Paul Dewar. Dewar, who is the official opposition’s foreign affairs critic, is also party leader Tom Mulcair’s point man for eastern Ontario, and, according to Fenik, was in contact with Mulcair’s office about potentially landing this star candidate. “After speaking with him (Dewar), I felt comfortable,” said Fenik. The nomination meeting will be held at the Crystal Palace in Perth on Saturday, May 30, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., with Dewar slated to be the guest speaker for what appears to be Fenik’s acclamation as candidate. “There will be no other candidates,” said Fenik, who will face off against incumbent Conservative MP Scott Reid, Liberal candidate Phillipe Archambault, and Green Party candidate Anita Payne for the Oct. 19 vote in the new Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston riding. Fenik had toyed with the idea of running for the Liberal nomination in late 2013, even attending the party convention in Montreal. But he decided to run for another term as Perth mayor instead, and Archambault won the nomination with Fenik’s endorsement. However, there were disagreements within the Liberal ranks, with Fenik acting as Archambault’s campaign manager. There had been rumours swirling that Fenik had been fired from this post, but he countered that “I don’t know if fired is the right word.
We had a disagreement with how the campaign should be run. He felt it should go in the other way. Archambault lost some major players on his campaign then when I left.” But Fenik hastened to add that his decision to seek the NDP nomination was not made out of spite. “It wasn’t, ‘Oh, I want to get Phillipe Archambault, to get him back,’” said Fenik, adding that he did not want to sit out the 2015 vote “on the sidelines.” He later said that Archambault, now his opponent in the race, has “his heart in the right place,” and even called Reid “a good, decent man.” Even though the NDP came in second in the riding in 2011, some of this was attributed to ripples from the Orange Crush caused by the late NDP leader Jack Layton, and Fenik is realistic about the NDP’s chances in the area. “There’s a big nut to crack here, a big mountain to climb,” he said. “We have no money.” Even though they might not be able to afford it anyway, Fenik promised that there would be no “robocalls,” from his campaign, that he would instead run a lean, visible campaign. “I think that people are ready for a change,” he said. His decision may mean that, already, change will be coming to Perth town council – albeit temporarily. When he was toying with the idea of a federal run for the Liberals in 2014, he said he would serve out the end of his term as mayor but would not run for re-election in last October’s municipal elections, were he to win the nomination. However, the political landscape has changed since he was returned to office by acclamation, and with his pending retirement from the Upper Canada District School Board in June. He said he would “focus all my energies on the election campaign,” during the “writ period,” from September to October. “I will not utilize resources in the mayor’s office,” said Fenik, saying that he will “step away from that (mayor’s) job,” temporarily, to be relieved of his duties, with Deputy Mayor John Gemmell acting in his stead. While he said he was not a fan of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, criticizing “the direction he has taken the

Jury rules 2012 quarry death of Smiths Falls man accidental Ashley Kulp
akulp@perfprint.ca
After a day of testimony, a coroner’s inquest has revealed the Oct. 29, 2012 death of Smiths Falls area native Joe Drummond at an Elizabethtown-Kitley quarry to be an accident. A five-person jury was assembled to make a ruling in the public inquest, held May 8 at the Brockville courthouse. Father of two, Drummond, 30, a supervisor with G. Tackaberry & Sons Construction Co. Ltd., was attempting to fold a piece of equipment known as a stacker at Woods Quarry (5436 Woods Road off County Road 29), when it collapsed on his chest. The stacker, a conveyorlike piece of machinery, is used in rock crushing. While ruling Drummond’s death accidental, the jury did make a single recommendation for the construction company: to always follow Ministry of Labour legislation to ensure the safety of its workers. Tackaberry, which operates more than 30 pits and quarries
throughout the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville region, was fined $110,000 by the ministry back in 2013 for not ensuring the stacker was properly blocked. Drummond’s parents, Ken and Judy Drummond, were in attendance at the May 8 inquest, as was his widow, Ceili. “We found out what we needed to know and hopefully (today’s inquest) will keep it from happening again someplace,” Ken said. Seven witnesses in total provided testimony during the proceedings, which were presided over by coroner, Dr. Gordon Watt. Crown attorney Claudette Breault served as the coroner’s counsel, while Alan Whyte represented Tackaberry. All parties encouraged the jury to declare the incident an accident, with Watt indicating “there’s no reason not to find that this was an accident.” “There’s evidence here that unfortunately, a mistake was made in not protecting the situation that occurred...but you have heard that there is legislation that can be used, so if you can’t come up with a situation to change legislation,
then you look at the workplace,” he continued. “And as far as the company’s concerned, it looks like it has solved the problem since this so it won’t happen again.” Tackaberry employees Dave McManus and Phillip Vanderlinden were at the quarry site with Drummond on the day of the incident. Just before 5 p.m. that afternoon, McManus, who has been a season worker with Tackaberry for 20 years, had originally been tasked with folding the mobile stacker, to be transported to another job site, when it wouldn’t close completely. “I walked over to get Joe and he said I’d have to take the pins out (of the stacker) because it wouldn’t fold down,”
McManus recounted. “...He said ‘Go get the loader, I’ll do it.’” McManus drove the front-end loader over to where the stacker was positioned near the centre of the quarry and raised Drummond up in the bucket to the level of the stacker, approximately 15 feet, where he began to attempt to manually lower the equipment. Unable to see him due to the obstruction of the bucket, McManus “assumed Joe was knocking out the pins and saw oil running down the stacker” and heard the hiss of air as the hydraulics failed on the stacker. Seeing his co-worker trapped, McManus immediately called 911 and ran over to Vanderlinden to help. Asked by counsel to the coroner, Claudette
Breault, if there was anything McManus could have done, he said, “No, I couldn’t lift it. It was quite a bit of weight.” As they waited for emergency personnel to arrive, McManus and Vanderlinden climbed on to the loader’s bucket to talk with their friend “for any comfort we could give Joe.” He was pronounced dead at the scene. In his testimony to the jury, forensic pathologist Dr. Christopher Milroy determined Drummond died of crush asphyxia. His examination of the victim showed he was in good health, but his head and neck regions were congested with blood, consistent with his cause of See INQUEST page 5

legislature, the first Quebec premier to do so in about 50 years – but it was not done in a “diplomatic fashion”, as Hillier put it, calling it instead “a pretext for partisan politics.” While the Progressive Conservatives were part of the unanimous consent needed for Couillard to speak, he felt it was done “to distract from our leadership race.” Brown was afforded an opportunity to reply to Couillard’s speech, and “he turned the tables decisively.” Hillier said he was a long-time critic of former leader Tim Hudak, and predecessors like John Tory, who, “for too long…(had been using) a top-down approach,” when “substantial policy got announced without the knowledge of caucus or members…He (Brown) understands fully what needs to happen.” MacLaren’s gambit pays off Sometimes politics is about being in the right place at the right time – and MacLaren was one of only five MPPs to endorse Brown’s run for the leadership, back in January, when it was a much more crowded field. “I considered Patrick very carefully before I supported him,” said MacLaren, during a telephone interview on See BROWN page 7

New Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown has won both Lanark County ridings in convincing style. The Barrie MP, who beat WhitbyOshawa MPP Christine Elliott in her second try for the party leadership, won Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington by 55.587 per cent to Elliott’s 44.413 per cent. Meanwhile, Brown’s win was even wider in Carleton-Mississippi Mills, where he took 68.421 per cent of the vote to Elliott’s 31.579 per cent, according to numbers released by the party at the Toronto Congress Centre this past Saturday, May 9. While Elliott had overwhelming caucus support at Queen’s Park, CarletonMississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren endorsed Brown back in January. Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier did not endorse any candidate in the race. Hillier reported that turnout in his riding was consistent with turnout across eastern Ontario, at more than 60 per cent. He boasted that his riding had more polling stations than any other riding, at six, including three in Lanark County (Smiths Falls, Carleton Place and Perth), alone, and that the
what their members were telling them,” said Hillier, during a telephone interview from his Queen’s Park office in Toronto on Monday afternoon. “It is important that you stay in touch.” Asked if there were some sheepish faces in the Tory caucus room that Monday, Hillier would only say “I would think that would be the case.” In speaking with Brown over the weekend, he indicated to Hillier that there would be no major shakeups in the Tory ranks between now and the start of the summer recess on June 4, including shaking up the shadow cabinet. He did indicate, however, that he would resign his federal seat by Wednesday, May 13, but no decision had been made if a Tory MPP would step aside for Brown to run in their place, as happened to Ernie Eves in 2002 and John Tory in 2005. Hillier commended Brown’s inaugural speech as leader last Saturday, for its “message of change and reform that resounded across the province.” Hillier said he remained neutral because “I thought it was important for the membership of the party to listen and speak,” which they did in “resounding fashion.” That morning, Quebec Premier Phillipe Couillard addressed the Ontario
death as blood couldn’t circulate due to his injuries. “This is a common appearance in people who have been crushed,” he explained. Three large indentations across Drummond’s chest, broken ribs, bruising on his arms and thighs, were also observed. Toxicology reports found that drugs and alcohol did not contribute to his death. McManus said Tackaberry has instituted additional safety
measures since the incident, including altering the stacker so it no longer requires workers to manually lower it before folding, as well as using a ‘spotter’ on site when working around machinery and equipping workers with harnesses. According to Ministry of Labour engineer Steven MacDonald, the oil McManus saw running down the stacker was hydraulic oil. The day after the incident, MacDonald was at the scene to inspect the machinery and noted the air hissing heard
by McManus is easily explained as well. “What I believe happened is that a 90-degree fitting on top of the hydraulic cylinder (of the stacker) was broken. The deceased may have stepped on the fitting with his foot or slipped, striking the fitting, causing the conveyer to close,” he explained, noting that these fittings are not designed to withstand the weight of a human. MacDonald did say if proper blocking procedures had been observed, as is legislated by the min-

Fenik, but he took exception to Trudeau insisting that people leave their “spirituality at the door,” if they wanted to run for his party. He also chastised Trudeau for “the whole Eve Adams thing,” when the controversial Conservative MP, who was barred from running for the ruling party for inappropriate antics while seeking a party nomination, was welcomed with open arms by the Liberals. He also lambasted Trudeau for supporting Bill C-51, the government’s antiterrorism legislation. “He didn’t stand up on C-51,” said Fenik, though he hastened to add that “there is a place for terrorists in the very depths of hell.” “I was waiting for Mr. Trudeau to get into the driver’s seat and lead, and he didn’t,” said Fenik. However, he stressed the Liberal party still contained “energetic, fantastic people. I have life-long friends (in the party.)” The NDP has long had ties to organized labour, and recently, the town’s unionized workers, who are represented by OPSEU (Ontario Public Sector Employees Union), narrowly agreed Desmond Devoy/METROLAND to a new, three-year contract. Calm before the storm: Perth Mayor John Fenik has a quiet OPSEU called the town’s final moment during a town council committee-of-the-whole offer “disappointing.” When asked if this would meeting on May 5.

BROWN From page 4
Tuesday, May 12. “I am very happy. I think Patrick Brown was the best candidate and that is why I backed him. He has the vision and the Canadian values to lead us into the election of 2018.” He said that Brown’s success could be attributed to the fact that “he works very, very hard…in straightforward language,” said MacLaren. He pointed out that Brown visited northern Ontario nine times during his leadership race. “We got tremendous support in an area where we have no support at all,” said MacLaren, who served as Brown’s campaign co-chair.
Another outreach campaign that paid off for Brown, which MacLaren witnessed for himself, was following in the footsteps of now Defence Minister Jason Kenney, and made inroads with ethnic communities like the Chinese, Indian and Tamil peoples. “(He) just showed up and talked to them,” he said. “Spending the time, listening to the people there, understanding what their needs and wants were.” MacLaren is well-known member and supporter of the Ontario Landowners Association. Having won the endorsement of “The Great One,” Wayne Gretzky, and as a major hockey fan himself, an NHL friend of Brown gave him the use of his private
jet to visit various landowner groups around the province – with MacLaren in tow. Over two days in February, they hit southwestern and central Ontario. “What an experience that was,” said MacLaren. It was on that trip that he got to witness Brown’s hard-working nature. It would be 9 p.m., and “I’d be tired out and he would go on to the next meeting,” he said. MacLaren is known for his libertarian views, and just minutes after Brown’s victory was announced, the Liberals were already handing out press releases attacking what they saw as his social conservative values on issues like sex education and abortion. Some in the media have already
linked MacLaren’s skepticism on climate change to Brown, and MacLaren does admit that “I find him to be a like-minded person.” But while social conservatives – thanks in part to the endorsement of former leadership candidate Monte McNaughton – may have partially propelled Brown to the leader’s office, Brown has told MacLaren that, on issues like abortion, “those issues have been settled on,” and that he is more interested in dealing with issues like Ontario’s debt and deficit. High energy prices are also “driving away jobs from Ontario,” said MacLaren, and the Liberals’ proposed cap-andtrade carbon emissions system is “another tax on the consumer, who is
just tapped right out. Taxes don’t help people, they hurt people.” MacLaren took a different tack to Hillier on Couillard’s speech, the first by a Quebec premier to the Ontario legislature since Jean Lesage in the 1960s. When Couillard mentioned that his party was balancing Quebec’s books, he admitted that “I didn’t know that,” and that this was coming from a Liberal government. Brown is scheduled to make a visit to the area on Saturday, June 20, when he is due to attend MacLaren’s barn dance at his home, 375 MacLaren Side Rd. at Woodlawn in West Carleton. The dance is a fundraiser for a planned “Abilities Centre” for people with disabilities in Ottawa.

went over to bend towards the inside of it. The young cousins had arrived from Montreal earlier for their usual summer stay and time on our hands was starting to take its toll on the mischievous lad who could never seem to keep out of trouble. He slid to the end of the drive shed like a fox going into the hen house and saw that Father had gone on to other chores. I knew without asking that he was planning something. He had that look about him that he always got when his mind was churning. He asked his much younger brother Terry to come and stand beside the barrel. Terry did exactly as he was told. His golden curls came just to the rim. “Perfect,” Ronny beamed. “Give me a hand, Mary,” he ordered.

“I will do nothing of the sort, Ronny Lapointe,” I said. “What ever you have in mind, forget it this instant. Father just bought that barrel and he’ll kill us if anything happens to it.”
Ronny said I was scared of my own shadow and besides what he was planning wasn’t going to hurt the barrel one bit. He started to roll the barrel away from the drive shed. He
had a dickens of a time trying to keep it rolling straight. Terry of course usually ignored by his older brother was right there See MARY page 9

Is Perth a national security threat, asks reader DEAR EDITOR: Like Murray Long stated in last week’s letter to the editor, I too received what was, in my opinion, obnoxious Scott Reid “terrorism scare” mailing at my home, and was disappointed to see that taxpayer money is being used to frighten us into supporting the repressive legislation (C-51) that passed last week with Liberal and Conservative support. It reminded me of similar circulars received by

putting his little hands on the barrel as if Ronny couldn’t roll it without him. He was heading for the gully that led to the creek. I had no idea what he had in mind, but I knew perfectly well, with his mind, it was some dastardly trick that we would pay dearly for later. You would have thought I had learned my lesson from previous antics and simply walked away. Hadn’t experience taught me that every time Ronny got into trouble I got into trouble too? The barrel was gathering speed, as it wobbled from side to side down into the gully, with Ronny in hot pursuit. I was sure he was going to try to float it on the Bonnechere. But he headed right for the West Hill with little Terry trying to keep up to him. It was a hard push, and by the time we reached the top of the hill, the perspiration was pouring off Ronny’s face. He was chewing us out for not helping him push the barrel. I still had no idea what he was up to. But I didn’t have to wait long. He got down on one knee and looked over the top of the barrel down the hill. He told Terry, who was too young to know any better, to crawl in the barrel that he had a real treat in store for him. Terry who thought

An additional threat is the unfettered surveillance powers that continue to be handed to CSIS, the RCMP and other government agencies. This is not new, of course. In the process of researching C-51, I discovered that Perth and Sharbot Lake were on the federal government’s national security radar in 2007. As was revealed last fall in documents released by Public Safety Canada, the Government Operations Centre, allegedly created to monitor events of national concern related to the safety and security of Canadians, collected details on more than 800 demonstrations beginning in January 2006. This lengthy list of peaceful protests – the very kind we were assured during C-51 hearings are not supposed to be spied upon – indicates which government department is making a report to the central
a treat meant candy or ice cream, did exactly what he was told. And then the picture of what Ronny had in mind unfolded right before my eyes. He was going to send Terry careening down the West Hill in Father’s brand new 50-cent barrel! Terry crawled in head first, and Ronny told him to put his knees under his chin. He was tiny enough to do it. And then Ronny gave the barrel a mighty shove and it went careening down the hill. There wasn’t a murmur from the barrel and I was sure wee Terry had died of fright. But the worst was yet to come. The barrel was not going in a straight line, but it was traveling like a speeding bullet. I yelled that if it hit the Bonnecherre Terry would drown. But it was heading right for the big maple tree and there was nothing to save it from the crash that followed. It split into a million pieces and Terry lay there as if he was dead. We tore down the hill and Ronny said the barrel did exactly what he thought it would do, but that he was a little off on his figuring. He said he figured it should have missed the tree. Terry crawled off the mess of splintered barrel staves and it looked like he didn’t have a scratch on him. It was a long time since I saw Father so mad, he was

Readers will recall that peaceful protests were occurring in 2007 against uranium mining on Algonquin territory, and while they were informative, good-natured, and ultimately effective, two of them (July 8 in Perth and July 13 in Sharbot Lake) were deemed dangerous enough to make it onto the government’s big list of national security concerns. Perhaps Scott Reid would do better to find out why the Government of Canada was spying on peaceful Perth residents, which seems to me a far greater threat to our security than his bogeyman of terrorists under every bed.

Junior A hockey team brings great pride to Carleton Place community Reflections By Jeff maguire
mark going 12-3 in the playoffs and defeating Pembroke Lumber Kings, the most successful franchise in league history, in five games in the CCHL championship final. Quite an accomplishment considering there were 13 player changes this season. But head coach, general manager and owner Jason Clarke has proven time and again that he is an excellent recruiter. Aided by his scouts and assistant coaches Clarke filled the available slots with some outstanding replacements. The result is another league championship, an unprecedented second consecutive Eastern Canadian title and a second straight berth in the national finals. They had to work even harder at the Fred Page Cup this season. Last year, when the event was played in St. Jerome, Quebec (a Montreal suburb) Carleton Place was a perfect 4-0. The 2015 tournament was hosted by league rival Cornwall Colts, the same team Canadians defeated in six games in this year’s CCHL semi-finals. Canadians went 3-1 this time. Their only loss was a onegoal decision to the host Colts in the final round-robin game, a contest that meant nothing to either side. Canadians had already earned a bye to the final while Colts had fallen out of contention. Clarke sat five of his best players in anticipation of the championship game on Sunday, May 3. Coach thrilled It was a good strategy. Carleton Place needed all the strength and endurance they could muster to edge Dieppe (New Brunswick) Commandos, the Maritime champions, 3-2 in a thrilling Fred Page
final. Clarke is understandably elated. “I kinda have to pinch myself sometimes to believe all of this has happened the last two years,” he told me last week. “I feel so blessed to be able to raise my family as well as own and coach a Junior A team in my hometown. It’s a dream come true,” the veteran hockey man says. “Being surrounded by so many good people in this organization is what makes this (championships) so special. It really is a team effort.” There are 129 Junior A teams in 10 leagues, from coast-to-coast, that fall under the jurisdiction of the Calgarybased Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL). For two straight seasons Canadians have earned the right to play in the final group of five teams that competes annually for the RBC trophy. It’s a tall order but Carleton Place is hoping to finish the job they came so close to completing last May in Vernon, British Columbia. Canadians made it all the way to the national title game against Yorkton (Saskatchewan) Terriers. They were leading 3-1 with less than three minutes remaining in regulation time. But Yorkton struck for two goals in just eight seconds to force overtime. I was watching the game on TSN. Yorkton’s tying goal came so quickly after their second that I thought it was a replay. Unfortunately it was live. And in the extra session it was Yorkton who came up with the winning goal to break Carleton Place hearts. Still, an outstanding achievement by any standard and for a small town having the main sports team earn a place on the national stage is extremely significant. At the Junior A level players compete for university and college scholarships at major institutions south of the border. Many of Canadians’ star players have already earned scholarships and some are headed to major universities this fall to combine education and hockey. The same is true of many teams in the CCHL. Eventually a number of the best
will play professional hockey. The list of graduates from this league who have gone on to successful careers in the National Hockey League is lengthy. In fact the two divisions, Robinson and Yzerman, are named in honour of CCHL graduates Larry Robinson and Steve Yzerman who went on to Hall of Fame careers with the Montreal Canadiens and Detroit Red Wings, respectively. Players from across the continent vie
to play in the CCHL. It is a well-run league with many longstanding franchises. The hockey is fast, competitive and exciting. The last CCHL entry to win the RBC was Pembroke in 2011. What is especially nice about this league is that hometown players also have a chance to excel and compete at a high level. A good example is Carleton See TEAM page 23

When you read this the round-robin portion of the Royal Bank Cup (RBC) Canadian Junior A hockey championship tournament will be wrapping up in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, west of Winnipeg. The semi-finals will be played Saturday with the winners advancing to the national championship game on Sunday, May 17 at 8 p.m. Eastern Time. The final will be broadcast live on TSN. One of the competing teams is from our region. Carleton Place Canadians of the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) have enjoyed another marvelous season. In just their sixth campaign in the more than 50-year-old loop Carleton Place captured their second consecutive Bogart-Nielsen Cup (league championship trophy). They then went on to claim the Fred Page Cup Eastern Canadian Junior A championship becoming the first team in the 21-year history of the tournament to win backto-back titles. Canadians definitely got off on the right foot at the nationals. In their RBC tournament opener Saturday they blanked Soo Thunderbirds, the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League and Dudley Hewitt Cup champions, by a 4-0 score. They followed that up Sunday with a 3-0 shutout win over hosts and pre-tournament favourite Portage Terriers. Carleton Place goalie Guillaume Therien became the first net minder in 20 years to start the RBC tournament with back-to-back shutouts. Although Canadians did not equal last year’s truly incredible regular season, during which they set new CCHL benchmarks with a 54-6-1-1 record and 110 points, the club still did it in style in 2014-2015. Carleton Place again topped the magical 100-point mark with a sparkling 49-10-2-1 record and 101 points. They were the best team in the 12team loop both seasons and their success continued in the playoffs. Last season they went 12-4 in the post-season, defeating near neighbours and arch-rival Smiths Falls Bears in five games in the final. This season they improved on that

TEAM
Rare performer to grace Gallipeau Centre Theatre
Place player Stephen Baylis. He finished second in team scoring this year with 69 points, despite missing eight games due to injury. Baylis, a five-year player for Canadians, was 10th in league scoring while second year forward Andy Sturtz, a native of Buffalo, New York led Canadians with 72 points to finish in a tie for fifth place.
It’s something of a Catch 22, nobody knows who Jordan John is, so there’s a bit of hesitancy about taking in this fabulous trip through the best of ‘60s rhythm and blues. This guy isn’t just good – he’s one of those rare Canadian talents that not only deliver but do so with style and panache. So don’t miss Jordan John on Saturday, May 16 at the Gallipeau Centre Theatre. “Go ahead take the risk and come and see this incredible performer, he’s worth every penny of the $20 tickets – and as a bonus you’ll also be helping out one of the best organizations in town – the Susan Shirley Program – how can you lose?” says Howaida Sorour-Roberts, theatre manager. His father, Prakash John, played bass for James Brown, George Clinton, Paul Shaffer, Alice Cooper and the Blues Brothers and appeared in the Blues Brothers 2000 movie, and he’s playing in Jordan’s band this coming Saturday. “We’re very enthused about coming to Smiths Falls, we love to go places where people want to listen to excellent live music,” says Prakash. By the age of 16 as a young drummer, Jordan was jamming with Prince,

their pregnancy and in those first critical few months after the baby is born. This incredible, grass roots charity provides essential housing and life skills training to young pregnant and early parenting women. The program empowers young women to create strong and healthy families and the Gallipeau Centre Theatre is delighted to support them with this exciting concert. “What better way to spend a Saturday evening than taking in a fantastic live band and lending a hand to the Susan Shirley Program, as you enjoy the show,” says Sorour-Roberts.

Best in Canada Last season Sturtz led the CCHL in scoring and was a very deserving league most valuable player (MVP). The popular Sturtz (local kids idolize him) followed that up in style in Vernon last spring. He was named the top Junior A player in the country, a quite amazing feat. He is the only CCHL player to ever win the CJHL Player of the Year award in its 27-year history. Sturtz is bound for famous Penn State University on a scholarship in the fall. This season it was Baylis who was named the MVP in the CCHL at the end of the regular campaign. He followed that up with 22 playoff points, tying Sturtz for third in the CCHL in the post season scoring derby. Baylis also earned MVP honours at the Fred Page Cup. Pretty heady stuff for a young man from Carleton Place, Ontario. He too has earned an American university scholarship, at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. Baylis has also been invited to participate in the Tampa Bay Lightning (NHL) Prospects’ Camp this summer. The Carleton Place Canadians have done their league and their community proud again this season. I’m sure they will be worthy representatives of Eastern Canada at the RBC. Before flying west for the nationals CCHL Commissioner Kevin Abrams told me he thinks this is the strongest field at RBC in a decade. All five entries finished high in the final national Top 20 ranking of this season released by the CJHL at the beginning of March. Host Portage was first, Canadians were fifth while the other three competing teams Penticton Vees from British Columbia, Melfort (Saskatchewan) Mustangs and Soo Thunderbirds from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario were ranked sixth, seventh and 13th respectively. A strong field indeed. As for Carleton Place Canadians the CCHL commissioner was high in his praise. “Needless to say a team repeating the path to the RBC Cup is rare. The fact Canadians have done that is a credit to the entire organization. As a league it is something to be extremely proud of,” Abrams said. Losing in OT in last season’s national championship game certainly didn’t diminish the crowd at the welcome home parade and meet and greet which followed the club’s return from British Columbia last spring. No matter what happens in Manitoba this time I expect the same reaction from local residents and officials next week. The Carleton Place Canadians have earned all of the accolades they receive!

and not long after was performing as the interim bassist with Wide Mouth Mason. He’s the real thing – an incredible talent who’s polish and poise on stage would be a credit to any musician twice his age. Think Sly Stone, James Brown, Little Richard and you have a pretty good idea of what this young man with the astonishing voice, talent and looks will be bringing to the Gallipeau Centre stage this weekend. Adept on drums, keyboards, guitar and bass, Jordan distills the blues, soul and rhythm and blues into a sound that is both solidly traditional and infused with a fresh, new energy. In 2012 Jordan opened for Aretha Franklin at the Toronto Jazz Festival a rare privilege, as the Queen of Soul rarely allows anyone to open for her. “Unfortunately I didn’t get to meet her, but she dedicated a song to me during the concert, referring to me as ‘that tall drink of temptation’,” chuckles Jordan.

The annual plant sale is this Saturday, May 16 from 9 to 10:30 a.m. (or until sold out) at the Delta Agricultural Grounds. society will offer coffee, tea and tidbits for a small donation. Tickets for the society’s garden tour and strawberry social on June 20 will also be on sale. Five private gardens in the Portland area will be open for viewing from 1 to 4 p.m., with the strawberry social held at Emmanuel Anglican Church in Portland at the top of the hill. Tickets are $5.
Another new feature of the plant sale this year is haskaps, an edible shrub the Ontario Horticultural Association is promoting. This delicious member of the Honeysuckle family produces blue-skinned fruit, with dark crimson flesh, that taste like a zingy blend of raspberry and blueberry, with a touch of elderberry. They are high in vitamin C and several antioxidants, and have been used to reduce blood pressure and relieve gastrointestinal disorders. They also contain traces of selenium, the element said in Japanese folklore to restore youth. The plant sale is the society’s major annual fundraiser to finance their programs, such as edible tree and pollinator plantings, community gardens, bursaries for high school graduates attending horticulture-related studies, speaker series, and public garden features throughout Rideau Lakes.

Tinkerbel and Soda Hi there, we’re a three-yearold brother and sister, very good looking, long hair white Persian mixes. Tinkerbel has one blue and one green eye, Soda has green eyes. From the moment we were in our mom’s womb we’ve been together. We lived with a nice lady but unfortunately because of her age, she found it difficult to provide us with the care we need (regular brushing). Currently we are being spoiled by the wonderful staff at Pet Valu in Perth. We would love to be invited into a loving home again. Can we stay together please? We love each other very much. Gumbo Please meet Gumbo at the Natural Pet Store in Carleton Place. He’s enjoying a large kennel to himself right in the front of the store. Gumbo is all white with a charcoal tail and charcoal ears. He’s quite the character, loves to explore, loves his cuddles and naptime in the sun if can catch the sunrays at his current location. Wish list

The Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society is holding its annual plant sale this Saturday, May 16 from 9 to 10:30 a.m. (or until sold out), at the Delta Agricultural Grounds. Those of you who are new to this sale should be forewarned that, similar to what happens at church and service group dinners in the area, people line up a half-hour or more before the doors open. However, unlike the dinners, once the doors open, there is no decorous filing in to fill a plate and find a place at a table. Instead, the hall becomes a mad-house of all manner of buggies, wagons and boxes being pushed and pulled and slung about as shoppers vie for the best perennials, annuals, shrubs, and garden ornaments, moving chaotically from table to table in every direction imaginable. The society has a quick checkout method, refined over years of holding the sale, that makes egress from the hall fast and simple. About an hour after the doors have opened, the sale is pretty much a done

Local woman breaks pole dancing stereotype jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
Pole dancers are like ninjas. The physical endurance and strength required to pole dance is the very definition of athleticism. Stephanie Glandon, 38-yearold Kemptville resident and mother of two, has made it to the Canadian Pole Fitness Association Regional competition on June 20 in Hamilton. “I never thought I would make it,” said Glandon. “I couldn’t believe it when I was accepted.” She submitted a two-minute video and was invited to compete in the amateur division. “You’re marked on artistry, technique, presentation, originality, confidence and difficulty,” said Glandon. She explained the negative stereotype surrounding pole dancing doesn’t bother her at all. “I wear it like a badge of honor,” said Glandon. She started pole dancing a year-and-a-half ago on a whim. “I’m a fitness instructor; I teach kick-boxing,” she said. “I have the muscles, but I don’t have the grace. I had to learn the dance side of it.” She explained pole dancing is as much physical as it is mental. “When you are holding onto the pole and have to let go to go into the next move, there is always that thought in the back of your head of falling on your face,” said Glandon. “You have
to trust your body and trust your strengths.” She said she was not very good when she first started pole dancing, but once she got past thinking she couldn’t do it, the activity became a very enjoyable way to work out. She said pole dancing is very similar to gymnastics and figure skating. “You tell the story of the song you are performing,” said Glandon, explaining there are very strict rules in competitive pole dancing. “You can’t be an employee in the pornography industry,” she said. “There are also very strict rules about your costume. There has to be two inches of coverage from below your breasts. They don’t want you to show up in a skimpy outfit. The sides of your breasts can’t be showing. Any exposure of private parts results in an immediate disqualification.” She said the rules have to be put in place to combat the stereotype. “People think pole dancing is about looking sexy, but it’s just like any sport – there are rules and regulations,” said Glandon. She said competitors are not allowed to remove items of clothing, but may remove props such as hats, scarves or sunglasses. “In the competition, there are two poles – one that’s static (doesn’t spin) and one that spins,” said Glandon. “You have

petition,” said Glandon. “I’m terrified I’m going to spend months training and then end up slipping on the pole.” She will be pole dancing to the song ‘Move like a Soldier,’ by Kristina Maria. “The song is fast-paced and I’m not very graceful, so I decided to go with my strengths,” said Glandon. She practices pole dancing at First competition 3Sixty Dance and Fitness Studio This is the first time Glandon in Ottawa. She spends roughly will compete in pole dancing. 10 hours a week training for the “I am nervous about the com- competition.
“There are all sorts of classes, for all different levels,” she said. “There’s something for everyone there.” She explained pole dancing is just like any other workout; beginning with 20 minutes of warming up, learning new moves and practicing them and then cooling down for five to 10 minutes. “The girls at the studio are all very supportive and encouraging,” said Glandon. “They are the ones who told me I should submit the video.”

She said it doesn’t matter your body type or fitness level, pole dancing is something everyone can do. “It’s like any sport. You have to train to improve.” Glandon is also a PiYo (Pilates Yoga) instructor and leads a Learn to Run program at her work. “I get people who have never run before to the point where they can run five kilometers in 10 weeks,” she said. She also created a TOUGH workout, which has since attracted a regular crowd of 30 participants. “I am very big into fitness,” said Glandon. She said she loves pole dancing because it’s challenging and she loves challenging herself in new ways. “It can be painful. Lots of bruises. But it’s really fun.” She said there are always going to be poles in strip clubs, but pole dancing is so much more than that and people need to look beyond that one purpose. “There’s a petition out right now to make pole dancing an Olympic sport,” said Glandon. “The same muscle strengths are needed for pole dancing as figure skating and gymnastics.” She said pole dancing is a growing trend because people are starting to see it for what it really is – a sport. She said pole dancing is great for women who are self-conscious because it provides such a supportive environment for them in which to work out.

Bedingfield building makes way for new vision of downtown Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
The vision is clear for Rob Thompson. Downtown Kemptville has to become a place people want to be. “To fix downtown, we need the right businesses and public spaces,” said Thompson. “It can be a destination.” The Bedingfield building, located at the T-intersection of Clothier and Prescott Street, is the fourth project Thompson has worked on downtown. The building, which he purchased two years ago, has borne many names in recent years, including the ‘Bright Spot,’ ‘House of Van’ and ‘Moonlight.’ “The original plan was to renovate it and turn it into a spa,” said Thompson. “We were going to call it the ‘Bright Spa.’” He said when they opened up the walls to do renovations, it became clear the building couldn’t be salvaged. “It wasn’t safe,” he said. “When we renovated the Kemptville Suites, that building was worth keeping, as crooked as it is in places. This one was long past its expiration date after years of neglect. There were so many MacGyvered additions.”

“When he died, there was no one who had an interest in it,” said Thompson. He said the importance of the Bedingfield building property is it provides the potential for a pedestrian linkage between downtown and uptown Kemptville. “Plaza malls are meant for cars not people,” said Thompson. He said the property is an integral piece of downtown Kemptville, with the amazing view and linkage. “The big thing is, I have to get it right,” said Thompson. “It’s the key stone.” He is also currently in the process of adding two new Jacuzzi suites to the Kemptville Suites just down the street and renovating the former Rowland Leather store to open a café. “We are thinking of reviving the name Hartley’s for the café,” said Thompson. “There’ll be great coffee. It should be opening this fall.” The Kemptville Suites, which opened in September 2014, also provides a unique element to downtown by providing visitors with high-end accommodations. “Our suites have kitchenettes, dining tables, electric fireplaces, TV’s and stocked mini-fridges,” said Thompson. “They were
decorated by Brandy Gould from Kemptville Interiors.” He explained himself, as well as members of his staff, have all stayed in the suites to get a better feel of what might be missing for guests. “One night I was staying here and we have chocolates in all the suites, but I felt like something salty, so now we have little baskets with salty snacks as well,” said Thompson. The whole renovation process for the Kemptville Suites took about two years and cost over $1 million. “We saw a hole in the market,” said Thompson. “With the exception of a few bed and breakfasts, there were no high-end accommodations.” He said the suites, café and new building are signs of things to come in downtown Kemptville. “It’s a turning point,” said Thompson. “I really feel if we get these next couple building right, then we will succeed. All these projects are significant. Downtown will become a place people want to be.” Check out the Bright Spot Landmark page on Facebook to post suggestions for the new building.

Proposal for community splash pad is making some big waves It appears that a desire for a community splash pad in North Grenville is making all kinds of waves, even with the cool temperatures. A heated discussion among parents of young children and other community members has been taking place on several social media sites, including a Facebook page with hundreds of members called “Kemptville Moms”. All of this debate is happening just as the developer, eQuinelle, is poised to open a splash pad in its signature neighbourhood in North Grenville late spring (whenever it arrives). Despite this development, the group advocating for a community splash pad is saying that the eQuinelle splash pad doesn’t go far enough. Further, they say councillors are breaking their election campaign commitments to build a community splash pad for everyone. Instead, councillors have been telling families that eQuinelle’s splash pad, while sized for that neighbourhood, is meant for everyone and that any member of North Grenville is welcome to park their vehicle there for the day and enjoy the attraction alongside eQuinelle residents. Jill Sturdy, a parent member of the community splash pad committee, has a different view. “While we applaud eQuinelle for showing leadership in building a splash pad for kids in that neighbourhood, this in no way equals a community splash

budget. “Fundamentally, a community splash pad is about building connections between families and getting kids active from a very early age. Unstructured outdoor play is critical for kids. We see this as a necessity,” emphasizes Sturdy. The Splash Pad Committee has committed to raising a portion of the funds given that there are several foundations that have programs designed to support capital costs for outdoor play structures. However, to date, the municipal council has not opened the door to these opportunities and the group is unable to apply for foundation funds without the municipality’s explicit co-operation. The splash pad committee has been successful in establishing a charitable fund to allow residents, businesses and corporations to easily contribute and receive a tax receipt in recognition of their donation. Their goal is to raise $20,000. The North Grenville Family Recreation and Leisure Fund is held in trust by the North Grenville Community Fund and managed by the Ottawa Community Foundation.

Jumpstart campaign chair appeals to community Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
DON’T DUMP IT… BLUE BOX IT!
Youth Centre and schools. “Last year, we gave a $5,000 grant to the KYC to fund three programs,” said Larabie. She explained without help from the community, Jumpstart wouldn’t be able to raise enough funds to help local kids. She said the Rotary is hosting a barbecue and community garage sale in Settlers Grant (house number 14) on May 16 to fundraise for Jumpstart. “We appreciate all the help we can get,” said Larabie. “There are a lot of kids in the community who have nowhere to go after school, who want to sign up for programs and their parents don’t have a penny left over at the end of the month.” She said Jumpstart is also offering a new grant program, specifically for special needs. “If someone wanted to start something in the area geared towards special needs, then we would fund it,” she said. She explained the funds for Jumpstart disappear quickly each year and the organization must maximize their fundraising efforts to help as many kids as possible. She said people can pick-up a Jumpstart application at the Kemptville Canadian Tire.

year for the organization. Annual BBQ’s are also a big part of Jumpstart’s fundraising efforts. This year, Jumpstart will be holding two barbecues, featuring hot dogs, hamburgers and sausages, in front of the Kemptville Canadian Tire on May 17 and May 30, between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. “Depending on how busy we are, sometimes we’ll keep going until 5:30 p.m.,” said Larabie. She said on May 30, the North Grenville Fire Service will be bringing the ladder truck by, to put on display during the barbecue. “The kids always love seeing the big fire truck,” said Larabie. She said the annual barbecues are a major part of the local Jumpstart’s funding for the upcoming year. “What we raise up till May 30 will determine out budget in 2016,” said Larabie. “The money we raise literally determines whether I am able to approve all the applications or not. So please, just swing by and drop off a few dollars or come by for lunch or dinner. All the money goes directly to providing opportunities for local kids. Every dollar makes a huge difference.” She said Jumpstart can also provide grants to organizations in the community, such as the Kemptville

The Jumpstart campaign needs your help. Claire Larabie, chair of the local Jumpstart, which encompasses Kemptville, Oxford Mills, North Gower, Kars and Spencerville, said the organization receives roughly 100 applications every year from children hoping to take part in activities. “I have never turned a child down, who was truly in need,” said Larabie, who has been with Jumpstart since it began 10 years ago. “I find the money somehow or another.“ She said Jumpstart funds youth participation in a variety of activities, including baseball, soccer, hockey, martial arts, therapeutic riding, swimming, dancing, gymnastics, Scouts, Guides and football. “It’s not just sports,” said Larabie. “It’s any activity. We’ve even funded a child who wanted to try archery.” In order to qualify for Jumpstart funding, children must be between the ages of four and 18. “Some kids simply don’t have the opportunity to participate be-
cause their parents are living paycheque to paycheque,” said Larabie. “Sometimes these families have to choose between buying food or paying Hydro, so activities are out of the question. That’s why Jumpstart is so important. Every child deserves the opportunity to take part in something.” She said the Kemptville Canadian Tire, owned by Frank Hoffman, has been extremely supportive over the past decade. “He does so much for us,” said Larabie. “Without him, we would be dead in the water. Mark’s Work Wearhouse also helps us quite a bit.” He also sponsors all the food for Jumpstart’s annual barbecues. “Jumpstart has 330 chapters and over one million kids apply every year, so funding is determined by how many people live within the community,” said Larabie. “Our base funding is $8,200. In 2015, because of our fundraising efforts, our budget was $23,744.10 and we were able to fund 85 kids in the community.” She said there are many groups in the community who help fundraise for Jumpstart, including Marlborough Public School in North Gower, which raises about $700 a

TransCanada to make $5,000 donation in Kemptville’s name Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
TransCanada is donating the $5,000 sponsorship intended for the Dandelion Festival to Canadian Red Cross’s Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund. “We have been in touch with organizers of the Dandelion Festival, and we have been told a cheque to refund TransCanada’s sponsorship of the event will be issued in the coming days,” said Tim Duboyce, spokesperson for the Energy East Pipeline. He said the most important thing is that this community event is able to go ahead. “We are proud to have been invited to sponsor the Dandelion Festival, and we consider it unfortunate a small group
of people chose to turn our involvement into a political issue rather than to see our participation for what it was: doing our part to support an important cultural event in a community where we have been present for nearly 30 years,” said Duboyce. “As such, we have decided to repurpose that sponsorship into a new form. TransCanada is proudly donating $5,000 in Kemptville’s name - to the Canadian Red Cross’s Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund,” said Duboyce. On the Dandelion Festival 2015 website, TransCanada has been removed from the sponsors page. Festival organizers were once again contacted for comment, but did not reply in time for press.

Relay for Life challenges you to accept the baton
Each and every Canadian must accept the baton to fight cancer in all its forms if we are ever going to see an end to this devastating disease. This year’s local Canadian Cancer Society Relay For Life event is capitalizing on its relay format to challenge team leaders to physically pass the baton to co-workers, friends and family and urge them to take part in this worthwhile fundraiser. Amber Coville, a Smiths Falls town hall staff member has accepted the baton and is in the process of creating a municipal relay team for the local event June 13 at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute. This year’s theme is 1950s sock hop complete with poodle skirts, bobby socks and saddle shoes. The music will keep playing all night long from 6 p.m. to midnight. R0013263087_0514
Have any hobbies? Things you need to sell? The Salvation Army is preparing to host a craft and bake sale at 2 Oxford Street West in Kemptville on June 13, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event is being hosted to raise funds for the Partners in Mission, which is a campaign that provides the necessary money to carry out the ministry of the Salvation Army worldwide. According to the Partners in Mission website, these funds ensure that the Army continues to be a beacon of hope in countries devastated by poverty, illness and natural disasters – countries where much of the population lives on less than $2 a day. Calvin and Erin Wong, Directors of the Kemptville Salvation Army, said this craft and bake sale is their way of contributing to the national campaign to raise $2.5 million. “All the money goes to overseas missions,” said Erin. The craft and bake sale will feature vendors. Anyone to become a vendor for the event can purchase a table for $25, with all proceeds going to the Partners in Mission. To purchase a table or contribute to the event, please call the Salvation Army at (613)-258-3583. Another upcoming fundraiser for the Salvation Army is a car wash, put on by CSE Consulting, on June 12 between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. in the B&H Grocer parking lot. The official opening of the new food bank, located at 2 Oxford Street West, is set to take place on May 20 at 2 p.m. Anyone interested in celebrating the new food bank is encouraged to come to the grand opening for the ribbon cutting and a piece of cake. “One of the neat things about the new food bank is we’re going to be providing milk, margarine and bread,” said Calvin. He explained the new food bank provides more staples than in the past. “We’re expanding our services,” said Calvin. The food bank now operates on a point system, which allows clients to choose their own items every week. “A lot of items aren’t part of the point system, such as milk, margarine, bread and animal food,” said Erin. The food bank is open every Monday and Thursday from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. Roughly 30 individuals and families access the food bank on a weekly basis. Community Living is currently doing a month long food drive for the Salvation Army. The food bank is currently in need of canned pastas, baking goods, crackers and ketchup. “We also want to thank all the places that have been accepting food for us, such as Food Basics, Walmart and B&H Grocer,” said Calvin. The Salvation Army will be hosting the Friendship Lunch at Leslie Hall in Kemptville on May 22. “It’s lunch by donation,” said Erin. “It’s great for people to have access to that. It’s a great way for people to make friends in the community.”

Dandelion debacle
hree acts withdrew from the Dandelion Festival because they didn’t want to perform under a TransCanada banner, due to their own personal feelings towards the proposed Energy East Pipeline. I am, and always will be, an advocate of standing up for the things you believe in. So good for you for taking a stand. What I don’t agree with is the fact everyone, media included, immediately blamed TransCanada. They are a major corporation, wishing to refurbish a pipeline that runs through a portion of North Grenville, so it’s only natural. But here’s the funny part. Even if TransCanada is viewed by some as an evil corporation, it had nothing to do with this issue at all. TransCanada was approached and asked for sponsorship by Dandelion Festival organizers. The organizers saw a $5,000 shortfall (for a free, major community event that benefits residents and the local economy) and they sought sponsorship. That is what happened. TransCanada employees didn’t sit in a dark room, around a large round table, clicking their overly long fingernails on the table whilst plotting ways to turn the public opinion in their favour. Jumping to conclusions is a dangerous thing to do. The first thing a journalist (a real one, without a hidden agenda) does is approach an issue from all sides by immediately identifying all the players. In this case, the players were the musicians, Sustainable North Grenville, Dandelion Festival orga-

nizers and TransCanada. Writing a balanced story involves talking to all these players and incorporating all four perspectives – to provide the public with all sides of the issue, so they can decide for themselves what occurred. Following this process, it was revealed TransCanada had nothing to do with what was going on – they merely agreed to sponsor a community festival. And they were publicly lambasted for it. I guess they’ll think twice before they do that again. I would also like to point out that Enbridge, the major corporation that owns the pipeline TransCanada seeks to refurbish, is also a sponsor for the Dandelion Festival. But no one seems to be talking about that… Sustainable North Grenville acted very gracefully in this matter, choosing to be constructive rather than opportunistic. They could have capitalized on this matter for their own purposes but they didn’t. They didn’t bash TransCanada – merely saw an issue that could potentially impact an important festival in Kemptville and did all in its power to resolve it. TransCanada has decided to donate its rejected sponsorship – in Kemptville’s name – to Nepal earthquake relief. So let’s leave it at that.

Operation Calf Rescue: Success “We’re havin’ a heatwave; a tropical heatwave…”~Irving Berlin
T
he heat this past week was just what we needed to finally open our water to the barn. It’s been frozen since Christmas. Hal-
lelujah. We have worn out and snapped two water hoses in the past few months of filling troughs of water for the cows twice a day. Now I look outside and the cows are nowhere in sight. I know I will find them in the heat of the day, resting in the dark cool of the barn, right beside their automatic water fountain. Oh the bliss. Cool, fresh water that refills itself. We have three cows left to give birth. Last week one got away on us and gave birth in the second field. After the endof-day head count the Farmer realized he was missing one cow-in-waiting. He hitched the trailer to the back of the ATV and away we went: Operation Calf Rescue. I was the hood ornament on the front of the ATV for the first stage of the rescue. I shot a short video on my cell phone as we rode past and startled

the rest of the herd. The calves started following us, looking at their mothers first who moo’ed their approval. In fact it was the calves who alerted the Farmer to the missing cow’s location in the first place. They were lined up, six little butts in a row, peeking over the stone fence. That’s where we found her and her new calf, a healthy heifer, already nursing. We slowed down and pulled up alongside the pair. The Farmer jumped out and managed to lasso the calf on his first try. The mother stepped aside, alarmed, and went back to the spot where she had given birth. Her instincts told her that although her calf had suddenly vanished into thin air, she would find it there. The Farmer brought the calf to me and after one quick ‘baa’ for its mother it was
quiet in my lap. As the Farmer kicked the ATV into gear the gangly calf started flailing its legs and trying to escape its blanket strait jacket. I kept my arm around its neck and one of its legs firmly gripped in my hand as we made our slow and bumpy descent back up over rocky pasture to the barnyard. Mama Cow remained at the place of birth, bawling for her young. The other cows, seeing what was happening, came to the stone fence to advise and encourage her. After a short argument, some of them came around to her side as if to usher her back up to the barn. I’ve seen this kind of thing before, with the horse, donkey and sheep. It’s kind of amazing to watch. Up at the barnyard, the Farmer slid the stable door open and placed the little calf on some hay, leashed to the doorway. The cows, breathing heavily from trotting up the field, came to sniff her over. “Which one is the mama?” I asked. All the black ones look alike to me. I tried naming them at first: Gina (curls
on her head remind me of Gina Lollobrigida); Carly; Suzie…but depending on the weather and what kind of night they’ve had, their hair can go straight and flat as well. And then they look exactly the same. So I gave up trying to identify them from each other. “Stand back and you’ll see which one is the mother,” the Farmer said. Sure enough, mama recognized her babe and resumed her task of combing its coat with her rough tongue. Getting the pair into the stable was a bit of a rodeo, as the mother cow’s nerves were shot and she didn’t trust anyone. When her calf tried to nurse, she danced in circles to get away from it.
I filled her feeders with the best hay, loaded up three water buckets that she didn’t have to share with anyone, presented her a bowl of sweet feed and welcomed her to the cow hotel. That seemed to calm her down a bit, but we kept a close eye on her for the next few days to make sure she was feeding her calf because every time I checked on them they were both lying down, asleep in the unseasonal heat. After a week it was safe to slide open the door and release the pair to join the rest of the herd. Operation Calf Rescue: Success. dianafisher1@gmail.com theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com

two awards of excellence from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario for the play.

Expect the unexpected. The drama students at St. Michael Catholic High School in Kemptville have been working hard for the past year to put together a play, titled ‘Stay With Me.’ The play, which is written, directed and performed by students, is about three girls going off to university for the first time. One of the girls has an imaginary friend – a six-foot tall rabbit – who she doesn’t want around anymore. Another girl aspires to be a singer and the third girl is just trying to get through life one day at a time. The girls become roommates and friends. “The idea came from a two minute skit,” said Sydney Taylor, grade 12 student and director. “Everyone decided to run off the idea.” She explained the play is all about three random people in the world who came together due to circumstance. “They all want the same things in life,” said Taylor. “Even though they are all different, they compliment each other.” Taylor acted in last year’s production and was selected to direct this year’s play. “I’ve always been interested in drama,” said Taylor. “Mike (Blouin) made it so interesting and fun. Last year’s director, Lizzie Friend, was an inspiration to me as well.” She said the play is fun, surprising and all around entertaining. “You don’t expect anything that’s coming,” said Taylor. She said the tech community at St. Mike’s helped make the set for the production. “Dan Lapierre has been really helpful,” said Taylor. The play has been in the works for nearly a year. “The writers started working on it last May,” said Taylor. “They wrote through the summer and into the fall. We started auditions in October. A total of 65 people auditioned for the 26 roles.” She said the students began rehearsing back in December and have continued to do so twice a day, five days a week ever since. She said the play has something for everyone. “It has drama, comedy, singing and surprises,” said Taylor. She said people in the community should come watch the play to be amazed. “It’s the best play they’re ever going to see,” said Taylor. Kotay Bryson, the tech dude for the play, said opening night is going to be awesome. Theresa Graham, one of the main actors, said the wide span of elements is what makes the play so great. “It has music, dancing, drama and a comedy all rolled into one,” said Graham. “It’s very colorful.” Taylor said the play is very entertaining, but still touches on some major issues.

Watershed Weekend
This coming weekend is Christmas for garden centres and nurseries. The long weekend in May is when they do 75% of their business. The starting gun for annuals and veggies and everything winter weary gardeners want to bung in the soil. But why a watershed weekend? I’ve written about this before but I think it needs repeating. Gardening is not growing. I should rephrase that. Gardening is “growing” but the interest in gardening is not and that will have a major impact on your locally owned growers and their future. In the last year I have seen the closing of one of Canada’s premier rose growers, one of our favourite nurseries getting out of perennials entirely and another pleading with customers on their email list to tell them what they need to do to bring customers back. I’m not talking about the big box stores and their six week hit and run. I’m talking about your neighbours, local businesses that contribute to your community and will still be there when you need help or advice. People that grow for a living. People with real knowledge. The market may be trending to instant bling and not hands in the dirt gardening. That’s fine, it is probably demographics but your locals do bling. And they do it better. There is a misconception that local growers are more expensive than the big retailers. Our experience has been the complete opposite. The growers in our area have

healthy plants that are well cared for at a reasonable price. When you look at the cost of something you have to factor in value. Do you want something that is a few pennies less expensive, that has been over or under watered and grown in a zone more conducive to peaches? If it is grown here it will thrive here. If it doesn’t, most of the growers I know will replace it. No questions, no hassle about receipts. They know their customers. Another reason to buy local is the variety. Nursery and garden centre folks are always looking for new and interesting cultivars. I was one of the worst. When our supplier catalogues arrived after New Year, Angie and I would spend hours putting check marks next to the things we would like to see in the garden. It was like shopping with your father’s credit card. We were buying for us and the customers. I do think this will be a watershed weekend for local growers and garden centres. It will be a time to evaluate the cost and the effort and the return. I’m sure they will continue to grow. It’s in their blood. They just won’t be growing for you. And that would be a tragedy. Please, please, please. If you plan to grow this summer, grow your community. Grow the local businesses. Grow with your neighbours. If you have any gardening questions, email me at gordknights3@gmail.com

Morgan Donnelly
Wildcat player of the week
This week’s Player of the Week is 10-year-old Morgan Donnelly. Morgan is a second-year Mite in the girls softball division. The Mite team hosted the Wildcat season opener on May 4 against Gloucester South. The Wildcats were down by one run going into the bottom of the last inning and, with two out, Morgan hit a home run with two on base to secure the win, with the game ending at 14-11. Morgan is in the 4th grade at South Branch Elementary School and when not enjoying softball, she loves art, archery, biking and is an avid reader. She lives in Kemptville with her parents, Alana and Dan, and her three-yearold sister, Regan. Maybe some day she can help Regan be a Wildcat Slugger too when she is old enough. Congratulations to Morgan and the entire Mite girls softball team on their first win of the season - GO WILDCATS! • CRUISE CONTROL

Kemptville District Hospital celebrates dedicated volunteers at annual Volunteer Appreciation Tea In celebration of National Volunteer Week, Kemptville District Hospital (KDH) honoured and thanked its 100-plus volunteers with a Volunteer Appreciation Tea at the North Grenville Municipal Centre on April 16. “This tea is a very special event in the yearly life of the hospital as it provides us with an opportunity to recognize the contributions that the KDH Auxiliary and all of our volunteers make to the hospital,” said Lana LeClair, Manager of Corporate Affairs and Organizational Development. “Thank you for sharing your energy, compassion and dedication with our patients and their families,” she added. “With your focus on providing client-centred service, you improve the quality of the patient and visitor experience every day.” In total, the hospital’s 100-plus volunteers gave more than 10,000 hours of that most precious commodity – their time – in 2014. Ashley Kulp/METROLAND The tea celebrated the vital dual role of the KDH Auxiliary, which not only provides volunteers for every area of the hospital, but also raises money to supplement the funding KDH receives from the The Burritts Rapids Community Association held Jane’s Walk, a community festival, Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. During the tea, KDH Auxiliary President Jane throughout the village on May 2 and 3. The walk is part of a global movement of free,

Tips for choosing exterior siding
E
xterior siding is one of the most crucial choices you’ll ever make regarding the appearance of your home. Indeed, whether it’s for a new construction or to renovate, siding allows you to express your personal style and totally change the look of your home. Here’s an overview of the different materials worth considering. Vinyl. Very popular because of its ease of installation and low cost, vinyl is lightweight and has the advantage of regaining its shape after an impact. However, dark colours tend to fade in the sun.
Aluminum. This metal is less impact-resistant than vinyl — bumps and scratches remain visible on its surface — but it’s much less sensitive to temperature variations and high winds. Brick. Although it’s expensive, brick makes a great wall covering that can last for centuries with little or no main-

tenance. Timeless and elegant, it adds instant style to your home. In addition, brick has excellent soundproofing properties.
Engineered wood. Made primarily from recycled materials, this material mimics wood grain while requiring very little maintenance. It doesn’t contract or expand with the weather and is available in a wide variety of colours. Natural wood. This material makes a great siding, although it requires a lot of maintenance work; you’ll have to be particularly careful about mildew and pests. But the effort is worth it; wood is shock-resistant, insulating, soundproofing and best of all, it looks fantastic. Regardless of the type of siding you choose, be sure to find out how to maintain it properly so your investment lasts as long as possible.
The exterior siding you choose makes for a home that reflects your personality.

PAMPERING YOUR YARD
Tips for finding the perfecT flooring
H
as winter been hard on your lawn? Don’t panic. The first thing to remember is not to rush outside and start work on the grass when the ground is still soaking wet. The time to get out the leaf rake and pick up all the debris is when you can walk on the grass without sinking in.
Y
ou’re ready to shop for flooring, but are totally confused with all the choices that are available to you. There’s so much out there! Don’t panic; here are some tips to steer you in the right direction. For a glamorous style that will be durable too, the material of choice is marble, vinyl or porcelain tiles. You prefer a classic, timeless look for floors? Hardwood, laminate flooring or vinyl planks are for you. To add an exotic touch to your decor, opt for bamboo. By the way, did you know that bamboo is more durable than hardwood and is more resistant to insects and mildew? It’s stylish as well.
If your rooms are on the small side, light colours will make them appear larger and brighter. If you hate cleaning, then choose textured surfaces. You love keeping up with all the latest trends? Go for a matte finish. Lastly, make sure that your choice of flooring is suitable for the room where it will be laid. For example, laminate flooring and hardwood are unsuitable for bathrooms because of their high humidity levels.
Let the professionals at KW&K design the kitchen you’ve always wanted! • Windows & Doors • Kitchens & Vanities • Remodel/ New
Go gently, taking care not to trample on perennials that are already beginning to show. Add compost (and some soil, if necessary), and cover your beds with a good layer of mulch. You may have noticed that field mice or other rodents have made furrows across your lawn. There may also be patches of grass that are completely dried out. To ensure that weeds don’t take over all the bare spots, aerate
your lawn and sow grass seed as soon as possible. A tip: use quality seed. Better to pay a little more than end up with a bag of seed that may contain weeds. No time to take care of yard work in the spring? Hire a freelance gardener; he or she will love pampering your yard for you.

Dare to Dream...
Vinyl is affordable and easy to maintain. On the other hand, it can show scratches, stains and signs of wear and tear. Laminate floors imitate wood, stone or ceramic. They’re easy to install and are resistant to stains, shocks and scratches. You like ceramic tiles? Keep in mind that this material isn’t as resistant to damage as other types of tile, such
as porcelain. Linoleum is easy to maintain and is extremely resilient. Nowadays it comes in many styles and forms, including biodegradable and hypoallergenic.
Make the most of a beautiful day to remove any protective covering from your trees and shrubs. Cut back dead and damaged branches, being careful not to damage the buds. Remove annuals, prune perennials and clean your rockeries if you didn’t get around to doing these chores last fall.

there’s no risk of injury either. Mulch, stones and twigs are other ways of deterring animals that like to make holes. Squirrels, woodchucks, raccoons and skunks are other animals that could invade your yard. Horticultural professionals can give you tips on how to discourage them in a nice way. Lastly, if you choose to use a repellent product, be sure it’s non-toxic and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

How to choose a building contractor So, you’ve decided to build a new home. Where to start and who to trust? Here are some guidelines to follow when choosing a contractor. Is the contractor well established? First of all, check with building associations to ensure that your contractor of choice meets professional standards and has all the necessary permits. Also check to see what warranties he or she offers. Go for experience Generally, it’s better to choose the services of an experienced contractor who is used to building in your chosen area. That way, you can have more confidence that building standards,
geographic features and local regulations will be respected. Start your search for the right contractor by asking for feedback from neighbours, getting references from the local contractors’ association and checking local newspapers. Follow your nose Check out the contractor’s previous work. What are his major achievements? Are former clients pleased with his work? Are the houses well-built and were they delivered on time? If you have the chance, visit existing housing projects and talk to some of the homeowners. Alternatively, word of mouth is always a good source of information, or you could check on local Internet forums.
Shop around Take the time to ask questions of the contractors on your short-list of candidates. If possible, visit their model homes; if you’re new to all this, take along someone who knows their way around the construction industry and who can check out all the important details. A written submission Obtain a full written submission from the most promising contractors. Three bids allow for a useful comparison; you’ll find it easier to check exactly what is being offered to you with regard to price, materials, time lines and warranties. And you’ll be in a much better position to choose the contractor who suits you and your dream home.
A few tips for choosing a shade tree
J
ust sitting in the shade of a tree for a few moments is enough to cool off and relax. A well-placed shade tree is perfect for protecting you from the hot summer sun that beams into your yard every day. However, you need to know how to choose the right one for your terrain and tastes. Here are some tips to help you.
Before going to a garden centre, decide where you want to plant your shade tree. How many hours of sunshine will it get every day? What is the soil type? Are there power lines close by? A building? A pool? The answers to these questions will help you choose the perfect tree, which is one that will be able to reach its full potential in your yard’s
environment.
Now imagine your tree at maturity. How tall will it be? Be careful; you could regret your choice if you plant a tree that shades your entire yard when it’s fully grown. On the other hand, planting a shrub may not provide enough shade. Take the time to browse through some gardening magazines to find shade trees that you like. Feel free to talk to garden centre experts to get the best advice. Bring pictures of your yard and tell them what you want and expect. Above all, avoid buying on the spur of the moment. A shade tree should be chosen carefully if you want to take advantage of its full potential.

ways to IMPROVE your home Does the outside of your home look a little tired and worn out? Here are some really simple tips that will help you give your home a whole new look. Paint your front door a bright colour. Nothing is more eye-catching and inviting. Replace the hardware around your front entrance: doorbell, mailbox, locks, etc. Install a door knocker. They come in all sizes and shapes these days and can add a touch of style or whimsy to your door. Give your street number a more up-todate look. Gone are the days of those ugly metallic stickers on the mailbox. If your house has wooden shutters or mouldings around the windows, there’s a
Take showers. A bath consumes about five times the hot water. And buy a low-flow showerhead. It will pay for itself in no time.
Clean your gutters and replace them if necessary. Replace an old doorstep. In addition to being visually unattractive, dilapidated doorsteps can cause insulation problems. Clean! Use a pressure washer to clean the siding and then wash your windows. Be creative with your decorative lighting. Put up some lanterns, strings of minilights or recessed lights under the steps. You’ll be the envy of the neighbourhood! You’ll be amazed at how easy it can be to improve the appearance of your home. Your efforts will inspire your neighbours.

ENERGY TIP! Change the direction of airflow on your ceiling fan. For those cold, winter months, the blades should operate in a clockwise direction, helping to push the warm air from the ceiling down into the room. In the summer, the blades should operate in a counter clockwise direction as a way of creating a nice, gentle wind.

The Oxford Mills Beavers were treated to a tour of Grahame’s Bakery in Kemptville on May 7. The kids were taught all about Grahame’s unique way of baking bread and goodies. They also helped bake maple leaf cookies, which they then decorated with red sprinkles. Debbie Wilson, one of the owners of Grahame’s Bakery, poses with the beavers.

He thanked everyone for attending the open house. Also by being there, people welcomed new management in their midst.

Rideau Glen is under new management with the Champions Nest Management Group. Mr. Kang Li Teng is CEO of the company and Gerry Miller is the new manager for Rideau Glen. This group also manages three other golf courses in the valley, including Champions Nest in Metcalfe, Riverbend in Richmond and The Capital in Ottawa. They are a company that picks up courses and revives them with T.L.C. to good working conditions. Our hope is that Rideau Glen will survive and move forward with the knowledge of this new management. They are very keen in making the transition from one management to another while keeping the history, traditions and culture of Rideau Glen as distinctive as it’s been over the years as the “jewel” of Kemptville. The course opened for the season on Friday May 8, only one week after the new management

Put Them in Prison to Find Out About Blood Cholesterol
R0013272280/0514
Rideau Glen Golf Club opens new season under new management
ADVERTISEMENT
Originally published May 2nd, 2015 Benjamin Disraeli, the distinguished British Prime Minister, once ridiculed an opposition member of parliament by saying, ‘He is distinguished by his ignorance for he only had one idea and that was wrong’. Today 99 percent of doctors have one idea that cholesterol-lowering drugs are the be-all-and-end-all to low- Dr. Gifford-Jones er blood cholesterol. I believe history will prove them wrong. This week, an old prisoner experiment tells a story, along with a natural remedy to lower blood cholesterol. Dr John Judkin, formerly Emeritus Professor of Physiology at London University, London, England, made headlines years ago when he reported that a high dietary intake of animal fat and the eating of foods containing cholesterol were not the cause of coronary heart disease. Of course he was ridiculed for such an idea. But Judkin pointed to a greater correlation between the intake of sucrose (ordinary sugar) and coronary attack. For instance, a study conducted in 15 countries showed that as the population consumed more sugar, there was a dramatic increase in heart attack. What is more impressive is a prison study carried out by Milton Winitz, a U.S. biochemist, in 1964. 18 prisoners, kept behind bars for six months, were provided food that was well regulated. In this controlled environment it was proven that when the prisoner diet was high in sugar, blood cholesterol increased and when dietary sugar was decreased there was a huge drop in blood cholesterol. Can you imagine the screaming and hollering from rights groups if researchers tried this experiment today! History is on Professor Judkin’s side. 100 years ago coronary heart attack was a rare event. In fact, so rare that Dr. Dudley White, Harvard’s famous cardiologist, remarked that when a case arrived in Emergency at the Massachusetts General Hospital, other doctors were alerted so they could witness this disease first-hand. In the last 100 years there’s been an extraordinary change in North American dietary habits. Now we feed children cereals that are often half sugar. I’ve said facetiously that it would be safer for them to eat the box! We have soft drinks, desserts and prepared foods loaded with sugar. It’s hard to escape what I’ve labeled ‘the white devil’. But why does excess sugar cause an increase in blood cholesterol? Once ingested, sugar breaks down into equal amounts of glucose and fructose. Glucose is then used to power the biochemical process that provides energy for daily functions of the body. Fructose, on the other hand, follows a different route, producing acetate that is one of the building blocks needed by the liver to manufacture cholesterol. So the more sugar you eat the greater the production of cholesterol. But you don’t have to be behind bars to lower blood cholesterol. A natural product, Sytrinol, consists of polymethoxylated flavons derived from the peel of citrus fruits. It also includes tocotrienols, powerful antioxidants, extracted from the fruit of the palm tree. Dr. Michael T. Murray, one of the world’s authorities on natural medicine, says, ‘The research on Sytrinol is extremely impressive.’ This is because multiple studies show that in many cases Sytrinol lowers blood cholesterol by 30 percent, LDL the bad cholesterol, by 27 percent and triglycerides, by 34 percent. These changes may occur within one month. Sytrinol works by decreasing the oxidation of bad cholesterol, a factor in plaque formation that narrows coronary arteries. Sytrinol also decreases inflammation of arteries, believed to be associated with heart attack. And by lubricating platelets, the small blood particles responsible for blood clot formation, it curbs the chance of one forming in coronary arteries. The dose of Sytrinol is 300 milligrams once a day. It is well tolerated with no complications reported even when 50 X the regular dose is prescribed. It’s available in Health Food Stores. I believe it’s always prudent to try natural remedies first, due to the potential complications of cholesterol-lowering drugs. The moral? Having one idea that is wrong is dangerous. It’s also wrong to forget that the first rule of medicine is ‘to do no harm’. Online: docgiff.com ; For comments: info@docgiff.com

Eat food - not too much - mostly plants We have spent a huge amount of time discussing the science of nutrition, exercise, balance, disease and food fads. It may be time to really focus on the food. Rather than dissecting foods into nutritional packages for content, labels and nutrient balance. It is time to discuss actual real food and what to do with it. Mom works, dad works and the children have very busy schedules as well. Each eats food according to their schedules and likes. Fast food has done a great job in addressing individual desires for absolutely every family member. Pizzas, Lean Frozen dinners and quick salads fill grocery store isles; fridges and freezers all waiting to be lined up the same way at home to be consumed at each person’s convenience and speed. You can even swing by the grocery store and pick up a ready-made hot meal! Each town has a huge choice of restaurants, for even more convenience. Most homes have stunning kitchens and yet the only appliances used are the microwave for re-heating ready-made foods, the fridge for storing quick foods and the freezer full of boxes of frozen foods. What an incredible waste! People claim that buying real food is expensive. What do you spend in a month for foods that will not satisfy your appetite or nutrient need.

tives? Why do we not take the time to simply walk out in our backyard and cut some rhubarb? I happen to have a huge rhubarb patch in my backyard. Last year, I did not cut one single stalk and cook it down to have a tasty, nutritious addition to my yogurt. This week, I actually cut 4 stalks and cut up 2 apples then added a cup of frozen strawberries from the freezer. I let it simmer on medium low for almost an hour while I did the laundry. I put the fresh fruit compote into a container in the fridge. My breakfast contains ½ cup All Bran Original, ½ cup of yogurt, 2 tbsp. of the rhubarb mix and topped it with a ½ banana Wow! This breakfast is fast, delicious, nutritious and had real food flavour. My body thanks me and my taste buds were jumping! Even taking the time to blend a fruit smoothie with ½ cup yogurt, ½ cup water,1 cup frozen unsweetened fruit and a ½ a banana makes a very quick drink to grab and go in the morning!

demands. The general public has become afraid to cook foods for themselves due to food safety questions and it has honestly been a long time that our generation has been out of the kitchen. Our generation has forgotten the basic rules of food. How to cook it, what parts to eat and how to socialize with family and friends while eating it! Going to the farmers market can be a frightening experience when you look at raw foods that you have no idea what to do with. Talk to the farmers about how to prepare fresh vegetables and fruit. The library also has man books about food preparation and storage. We trust a plastic package without thinking about the way it is produced. It may be time to add a little local colour and flavour to your meals! Try to actually sit down to one meal a day with your family and enjoy each other’s company!

She has also lost over 40 lbs., is continually working toward a healthy weight and improving her health status! It may be time to dust off those old recipe books
that we inherited from family members and start from scratch! No pun intended. The fast food and commercial producers don’t want you to remember that food really is simple. Start with a few basic ingredients, prepare them and serve them for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It does take time and planning, but no more so than sitting in a doctor’s office awaiting test results. The harder we resolve to eat healthy by following every single food trend and spend hundreds of dollars to buy foods with “healthy blue labels”, the scientifically injected foods with plant sterols that will allegedly lower cholesterol and what-ever new seed of the week the media and food industry tells us to eat next! I took two years of clinical nutrition and all the while my wonderful nutritionist instructor stated at the beginning of each class; eat food, not too much, mostly plants. The science of food is very interesting and our society has come a long way in understanding how it interacts with the human body, but, new information is constantly flowing and we really have only been studying food since the beginning of the 1900s.

Your resting place I visit, And put flowers there with care, But no one knows the heartache, As I turn and leave you there. Miss you and love you Janet

OBITUARY
February 3, 1947May 1, 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce Treavor’s passing after losing a very determined battle with lung cancer. Survived by his devoted mother Winnifred, his wife of 48 yrs Marion (Andrews), daughter Lynne (Michael), son Jeff and 6 grandchildren, Jessica (Milad), Trevor Jr, Katherine, Aiden, Hannah and Grace and soon to arrive great-grandson. Predeceased by his father, Frank, his brother, Carl Robert and sister, Bernice. Treavor also leaves behind an amazing large supportive family all living in Ontario in close proximity to the family farm, including brothers, Ron (Nadine), Bev, Roger (Martha), Mark (Cathy) and sisters Heather (Barry), Nancy (Tom), Debbie (Brad), and Michelle and sister-in-law Vicki. Trev was born in Brockville, Ontario and grew up on a farm in South Mountain. As the eldest of 11 siblings, it was here that he honed his strong work ethic that was very much evident throughout his life. He was literally a “jack of all trades”, with all the tools and huge workshop to go along with that title. He just loved to hear someone ask “and how does that work?” or better yet “how can that be fixed?”. He truly took selfsufficiency to a new level. A man with many interests that included golf, restoring his 1957 Plymouth Savoy car and performing with the Burke Mountain Bluegrass Band. He had an ongoing passion for camping, fishing and hunting. Some of his greatest times were spent with his growing family teaching his children and grand-children how to not only survive but thrive in the great outdoors. His annual “guys” fishing and hunting trips took many meetings and months of prep work followed up by a yearlong recounting of the events! No words can express the gratitude to the team, especially Bryon, at the Monitored Care Unit at Eagle Ridge Hospital for honoring Treavor’s wishes and giving all of us at his bedside the strength and guidance to help him through his final moments passing over into God’s hands. And last but by no means least, a big thank you to Maggie, Trevs’ ever so loyal 4 legged companion, for the countless hours spent by his side, never missing a car/truck ride or bluegrass session and waiting quietly by his bedside for him to wake. Treavor was a very proud and honorable man. Definitely a force to be reckoned with and he mostly made and followed his own path. He will be definitely missed. Cremation has taken place and in lieu of flowers, donations in Treavor’s name to JDRF Canada would be appreciated in the hopes of making a positive difference in the lives of his son Jeff, grand-daughter Grace Georgia, grand-nephew Gavin and all those affected by Type 1 diabetes. A Memorial service will be held in the church he helped build, amongst his church family at Victory Baptist Church, 2191 Prairie Ave, Port Coquitlam, BC Saturday, May 16th at 2 pm followed by a reception downstairs in a newly created Treavor inspired hall.

Rideau Roundtable moves forward with strategic plan Ashley Kulp
akulp@perfprint.ca
For more than a decade, the Rideau Roundtable has made it their mission to help raise awareness of the Rideau Canal through experiences on the waterway. The group, an incorporated, not-forprofit community organization, held its annual general meeting (AGM) April 27 at the Kinsmen Pavilion in Lower Reach Park in Smiths Falls. Along with guest speaker Anne Marie Forcier, executive director of the Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Association, members also provided updates on the many projects and initiatives planned over the next year. Included in that is the development of a strategic plan, of which Rideau Roundtable member Manuel Stevens gave an overview. Stevens said the need for the plan was to “focus attention on communicating our primary mission, which is sustainability.” “That’s what we’re all about and we felt we needed a strategic plan to properly identify the audience we have and communicate our goals and priorities…” he stated. The plan embodies the four pillars of sustainability identified by the Rideau Roundtable: economic prosperity, environmental sustainability, cultural vitality and social equality. “Rather than preaching our concept, we wanted to converse with everyone along the Rideau waterway to engage them and determine what it (canal) means to them,” Stevens remarked. Currently, the plan is in draft status, but the Roundtable has identified their
key audiences, which includes media, service clubs and organizations, as well as grant programs and corporations and donors. Like-minded groups, landowners and community associations round out the list. The plan also has a strong focus on education and reaching out to businesses along the waterway. “We have to increase our profile as champions of sustainability through major outreach programs with our audiences along the canal,” Stevens explained. “…We have to become better known along the waterway in order to do our job properly.” Before the draft is finalized, the Rideau Roundtable will consult with local conservation authorities and organizations for their input and support over the next few months. “We hope to have the document in place by the fall or perhaps a bit earlier,” he stated. “…It’s a big task for a small organization.” Speaker series, canoe experience The Rideau Roundtable has seen success through several projects and have become known for their speaker series and Voyageur canoe tours. The former, the inaugural series has focused on sustainability along the Rideau corridor with five presentations being held over the past seven months. Rideau Roundtable president Peter Au said the theme of sustainability wasn’t chosen by accident. “The theme is really a sense of place and it has legs because Smiths Falls has embraced it. We have a strong group here,” he said. According to Don Gibson, who coordinates the venture along with Cam
Peter Au, president of the Rideau Roundtable, speaks to those gathered for the organization’s annual general meeting April 27 at the Kinsmen Pavilion in Lower Reach Park in Smiths Falls. Au announced plans for a two-day canoe experience along the Rideau Canal this August. Ashley Kulp/ METROLAND
O’Neill, the most recent talk took place on March 30 in Ottawa and centered around an open dialogue on flooding. “We had 35 people out for that and had speakers from the RVCA (Rideau Valley Conservation Authority), MVCA (Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority) as well as the City of Ottawa,” he explained, adding that a good relationship has been forged between the group and the city. “We really worked very closely with the City of Ottawa on
that last event and built a really great partnership with them.” Other talks have featured geologist Al Donaldson as well as Colin Maxwell, former president of the Canadian Wildlife Federation. “For the first year, I think it was successful,” Gibson commented. “We’d like to continue working on it.” The series is designed to raise awareness of the Rideau Roundtable and Gibson said it’s slowly doing just that.
“Attendance has been steady (at the series) and we’re building it up,” he noted. “…It’s a vehicle to increase membership and we’ve had mixed success with that. It’s something we really have to focus on for the next year of the speaker series.” Coming this August, Au and a committee are also working on building a visitor experience opportunity, Locks, Rocks & Water. Running from Aug. 10 to 13, this initiative is being billed as an intergenerational exploration of the Rideau River, facilitated by Canadian canoeing icon, Max Finklestein, and other guest interpreters. Au said it’s a learning adventure for grandparents and their grandchildren or parents and their children to share. “It’s going to be really close and personal, with an emphasis on sharing and learning,” he explained. “…We will be Voyageur canoe paddling and hiking in one of the most beautiful areas with a view of the Rideau.” The first day will see participants canoe from Jones Falls to Rock Dunder and day two from Jones Falls to Davis Lock. The Rideau Roundtable will also be participating in the annual Rideau Paddlefest in Smiths Falls Aug. 8 and 9, which will coincide with their Voyageur canoe races over those two days, in Lower Reach Park. There is a five-week practice program: July 8, 15, 22, 29 and Aug. 5 for those interested in participating in the canoe races.

Soggy bottom blues cause wiring headache in reader’s vehicle Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
or vandalism event). It’s unlikely that Volvo will want to set a precedent by paying for a failure (and the consequential wiring damage) on a part that was only covered by the vehicle’s base warranty, which has long since expired. As well they would argue that if the moisture problem was rectified in a timely manner it is highly likely that the wiring would not now require extensive repair. Interestingly enough when I Googled Volvo water leaks one of the first listings was a video from a Volvo dealer in the U.S. explaining how to check and clean sunroof drains
(probably because it’s not covered in the owner’s manual – but then again, no carmaker I know of has such listing in their owner’s handbooks). The repair shop that did the work might have recommended checking the wiring under the carpeting, but as the car didn’t exhibit any faults at the time of repair, they might be excused for not bringing it up (and by that time the damage may have already been done). It seems obvious to me that you were unaware that there was vulnerable wiring under the floor carpet or even that the musty odour was caused by a water leak. There may be an alternative to replacing the entire harness. A qualified tech may and I stress may be able to cut out and splice in individual wires to replace the damaged portions only. However if any connectors are damaged, they may not be available as a separate part from the wiring harness assembly. This is a labour intensive job but may save you the money of
buying a complete harness. While not all of us drive sunroof equipped vehicles, it’s important to note that these roof windows have drains to let water safely escape and they should be checked every spring and fall. There are several good YouTube how-to videos on the topic. Whether or not your vehicle has a sunroof, it is extremely likely that it has electrical wiring under the floor carpet. If any area of the carpet is soaked it must be dried out to avoid risking an electrical problem. Surface water is relatively easy to get rid of with a shop vacuum and some absorbent towels, but if the under-padding is wet you will need to air dry it. A few bricks or short sections of 2X4 lumber can be used to lift the carpet and under-pad off the floor. You can access the carpet from the edges by removing the plastic scuff plates at the door openings. Then carefully insert the bricks or wood blocks under the carpet to let air cir-

“Hello, I own a 2009 Volvo C30. There had always been a bit of an odour with the car and I tried cleaning cabin filters but it never seemed to do much good. Last November I noticed that the carpet behind the driver’s seat was soaking wet, which was a surprise. I looked online and found that a possible reason could be that the sunroof drains get blocked causing the water to overflow into the vehicle. I contacted Volvo Canada in early December and was told that there was no known issue or recall for this problem and that it was my responsibility to repair the sunroof drains. I didn’t agree with the decision but I proceeded to have the repairs done by my private garage. They replaced the hoses in the sunroof drain using Volvo parts. The tech said that the original hose was completely ineffective because the many joints had either come apart or were disintegrated. The water problem seemed to have stopped. Last month while driving the car I had all electrical components (signal lights, speedometer, fan, etc.) completely shut down. The only thing working was the engine. The electrical components would come back on for a few seconds and then completely shut down again for a few minutes. I contacted Volvo Canada about the electrical issue and was told to take the car to a Volvo dealer so the problem could be diagnosed. My local dealership found that there was still water under the carpets and that the wiring under the carpets had corroded. They estimate that the repair will cost $3,500-$6,000 to replace the “floor harness, front to back.” They also think that water may still be infiltrating through the “sunroof cassette.” It is obvious to me now that the long-time odour problem was mould in the carpet. The water damage to the electrical system took place over a long period of time prior to and after the repair to the sunroof drain hoses. I filed a claim with my auto insurance company for the electrical damage. They advised me that they will not pay for my claim because they have determined that the problem was caused by “a known common manufacturer defect.” I have advised Volvo Canada of the determination by the insurance company and have asked them to assume responsibility for the repair. Are you able to provide me with any suggestions or advice going forward in this matter?” Thank you. This is quite the tale and while I sympathize, I’m afraid I’ll have to be the bearer of bad news. First your insurance company is correct to deny coverage. The sunroof drains in question would have to have been damaged by some outside force to be covered under a standard automobile liability insurance plan (e.g. chewed by a rodent or severed in a collision

Spare bedrooms needed for visiting actors to Classic Theatre Festival Anyone with a spare bedroom is in for a treat this summer should they decide to host one of the visiting professional actors with the Classic Theatre Festival. This summer marks its sixth season, with a new version of its historic, theatrical guided walking tour (a “Nancy Drew meets Film Noir” theme), the brand new Friday night Lonely Ghosts Walk, and two hits from the golden age of Broadway (Neil Simon’s comedy Barefoot in the Park and Frederick Knott’s nailbiting thriller, Wait Until Dark) at its venue at 54 Beckwith Street East. Currently, the festival has actors who will be arriving in Perth for two separate six-week periods, June 21 to Aug. 3 and July 21 to Aug. 30. The Festival is hoping individuals or families with spare bedrooms and access to a kitchen and washroom are able to host one of the performers (all of whom pay for their own food). In return, host individuals and families receive free passes to the festival all summer long as well as exclusive invites to special festival social events. If billets are only available for a three-week term, that could work too. In addition, a number of designers will require shorter, 10-day stays in July and August. For Perth resident Helen Gamble, 2015 marks the sixth consecutive year she has hosted a performer.
Submitted photo
Catherine Bruce, who appeared in the first two seasons of the Classic Theatre Festival, is one of the professional performers needing a billet this summer. TV viewers may be familiar with her frequent nationally broadcast commercials for RBC and muscle relaxants, among others.
“I’ve billeted at least one actress each year of the Classic Theatre Festival in Perth,” Gamble says. “At first I wondered how it would work out and whether my guest room was adequate. It’s been a wonderful experience. I meet interesting, artistic people who are passionate about what they do. They are gone most of the day into the evening, busy with their work schedules. It’s fun to have someone coming and going, a bit of company, but someone I don’t have to entertain.” Gamble has gotten used to living with actors she sees turning into completely different people when they assume their characters on the Classic Theatre Festival stage. She, among other billet hosts, has also struck up close friendships with those she has hosted, and they often stay in touch via Facebook, email, and reunion visits. And it’s always a nice surprise to turn on the TV or see a film in which one of the people who stayed with her has gotten a role. “All they need beyond their room is a shelf in the fridge and one in a cupboard,” Gamble says. “They feed themselves, tidy and clean after themselves, and respect my house and routine. My friendly dog seems to be a bonus and often they practice their lines with him as their foil. “Billeting costs me very little – re-
ally, just a bit of hot water for showers and a spare key – but I meet and interact with intelligent, outgoing people and am invited to casual get-togethers of cast, crew, other billeters, and volunteers. I’m gifted with tickets to the plays which are more interesting than ever, because I know at least one cast member. I’m glad I decided to billet that first year and look forward to meeting this year’s actress and becoming involved once again.” Scott Clarkson, a veteran festival performer returning for his fifth consecutive season, says “I had never been billeted for a show before my first time in Perth and wasn’t sure what to expect,” Clarkson says. “The family I stay with is always so welcoming and cheerful that it makes a six-week stay away from home so much easier. This summer will be my fifth with them - and as much as I love Perth and the Classic Theatre Festival, this family’s hospitality is an equally large part of why I am so happy to keep coming back! I am so grateful to see such generosity to the arts.” Even if hosts cannot provide a space for the complete six weeks, some performers may require only two or three-week stints. Individuals interested in hosting an actor should call 613-264-8088 or email info@ classictheatre.ca. Submitted by the Classic Theatre Festival.

Field naturalists urge community to attend annual Spring Gathering May 21 Now that spring is finally here and summer’s just around the corner, you’ll want to make the most of the warm weather and the cool breezes, and all that our community has to offer. How about doing that – as well as enjoying great food and company – and at the same time contributing to the preservation of a natural treasure, the Burnt Lands Alvar? All you need to do is participate in the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists’ (MVFN) 2015 Spring Gathering on Thursday, May 21 at the Almonte Civitan Hall, where you can enjoy a great meal, a fascinating talk by the evening’s keynote speaker, Jean Lauriault, an expert on the mysteries of Monarch butterflies, and – a silent auction. All funds raised from this silent auction will go towards supporting MVFN’s efforts to preserve the Burnt Lands Alvar. Remember to purchase or reserve your tickets by Thursday, May 14. What is on offer at this silent auction? Paintings and art work galore – by Amelia Ah You, Jennifer Noxon and Mary Pal, as well as a variety of other fine art creations with a nature theme. What if you’re keen to explore the outdoors and learn about nature? Well, you can bid on several amazing experiences – crewing on a sailboat, a nature tour, a day of birding in Prince Edward County, or a geological Alvar tour. For other experiences closer to home, why not bid on a night of musical entertainment, a garden tour and lunch for six people, Spanish lessons, or bilingual home tutoring?

Tickets ($40) for the 2015 Spring Gathering dinner, keynote presentation and silent auction are available from Gilligallou Bird Store (Almonte); Reads Book Shop (CP) and The

These early-summer poppies were found in Almonte. The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists is asking residents to embrace the warmer weather by attending its 2015 Spring Gathering Thursday, May 21 at the Almonte Civitan Hall. Perhaps there’s a special person in your life in need of some rest and relaxation? What better treat than a biodynamic massage, a Reiki treatment, a massage treatment certificate, a special package from Soul Scents, or a sailboat excursion followed by a scrumptious lunch? If you’re looking for ways to spruce up your abode, there will be something for that too in our silent auction. A home-styling session, a garden consultation, a cubic yard of compost
delivered to your home, or a monthly bouquet of fresh flowers are all sure to provide that extra oomph. Although you can bid on a few pieces of silent auction fine art while they are displayed at Mill Street Books in Almonte (from May 12 to 20), bidding on these will continue on until the close of bidding during the May 21 Spring Gathering event. All other auction items are available for bidding at the MVFN Spring Gathering only. Watch the MVFN website and Burnt

All the pieces in place but Reese Witherspoon comedy falls flat MOVIE: Hot Pursuit STARRING: Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara DIRECTOR: Anne Fletcher RATING: PG I think I called this one last week. I was looking forward to Hot Pursuit. I thought there was potential for this film to be hysterically funny, but in the end I should have seen The Avengers again. Officer Cooper (Reese Witherspoon) has been sitting on the bench ever since she accidentally tazered the mayor’s son. She gets a chance to redeem herself when she’s asked to help escort two federal witnesses. Daniella Riva (Sofia Vergara) and her husband Felippe (Vincent Laresca) are testifying against a major drug lord. Provided they aren’t killed first. As Cooper is helping Daniella pack her shoes gunshots ring out
from downstairs. Two different groups have come looking for the Rivas. Cooper’s partner and Mr. Riva are killed, but Cooper manages to get Daniella out. Fleeing for their lives Cooper and Daniela get to a phone. Cooper calls it in then sits and waits for the cavalry to arrive. Just when they think their day can’t get any worse the cavalry turns out to be a pair of dirty cops working for the drug lord. So now the obsessive by-thebook cop and the trophy wife of a money launderer have to work together or end up dead. Hot Pursuit just shows how hard it is to make a good comedy. It has the big name stars. It has the big name director. Neither helps. It tries to do every single thing it can to make you laugh. It tries physical humour, it tries witty insults, it tries comedic girl fight, it tries innu-
actors. Together they have no chemistry at all. They are trying too hard, and in order for a comedy to be funny it has to seem effortless. For them it seems like one of Hercules’ twelve tasks. The film does have its visual appeal, but unfortunately there Mark haskins simply isn’t enough of that.
My Take
endo, it tries bizarre plot twists. None of it helps. It throws everything at you including the comedy kitchen sink and none of it works. This film just isn’t funny. Comedy is hard. That’s the lesson here. On the surface the plot has the outrageousness you look for in a comedy. As it plays out however it proves to be a generic and boring buddy-buddy comedy. This largely falls on the two main stars. Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara on their own are talented and funny

ENERGY TIP! Change the direction of airflow on your ceiling fan. For those cold, winter months, the blades should operate in a clockwise direction, helping to push the warm air from the ceiling down into the room. In the summer, the blades should operate in a counter clockwise direction as a way of creating a nice, gentle wind.

The Carleton Place and Beckwith Music Society, a charitable organization formed in 2013 to promote music in the community, held its second annual piano festival May 4 and 5. Approximately 40 piano students from Lanark County competed in a variety of classes from beginner to advanced at the Carleton Place Town Hall. The adjudicator was Gerald Vreman from St. Thomas, Ontario who holds a Masters in Music from Western University, has won many festival awards himself and is an examiner for Conservatory Canada among many other accomplishments. Vreman chose top performers from the festival to be showcased in a gala concert at the Carleton Place Town Hall auditorium this Friday, May 15 at 7 p.m. In addition to wonderful piano performances several of these young talents will also be presented with scholarships and awards for their accomplishments.

What’s worse is that the film tries to switch gears. It attempts to move from the ridiculous comedy into something serious, and a bad film becomes even worse. It loses anything that is even remotely humorous, and becomes utterly unbelievable. You won’t come out of Hot
Pursuit wishing for something unpleasant to happen to its cast and director, but you will be seriously disappointed. It is a boring and unfunny film, with a duo who would have been better working with anyone else. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

1974 Triumph TR6 never driven in winter A letter arrived from Don Osadec of St. Catharines, Ontario: “Hi Bill. I have owned a few classic British sports cars much of my adult life. I am now 76 and my first car was a 1955 MG-TF which I restored to showroom condition. Next, a few years later, I bought a 1968 TR4AIRS which needed extensive work. “My present car is a 1974 TR6. This car did not need any extensive restoration, only a little cosmetic attention to clean it up. The body, paint, and chrome are original and in very good condition. Only the top, interior, and clutch have been replaced. “The car originally came from Seattle, Washington, went to Calgary, Alberta, then to Brampton, Ontario, where I found it in 2004. It has never been driven on sand, salt, or snow its whole life, and I have been caught in the rain only twice in ten years. The engine is a 2498 c.c., 152 cubic inch straight 6 with dual Weber side draft carburetors, dual Monza free-flow exhaust system, 4-speed transmission and independent rear suspension. “My wife and I belong to the Niagara British Car Club, where you can see many classic British cars of all years and types. In the car’s present condition, it has been appraised at $18,500. Only 194,000 of the TR6 models have been built from 1969 to 1976.” The “TR” label is short for “Triumph”, a nameplate that goes back to
1923 in the British automotive industry. The company had been making motorcycles since 1903 but decided twenty years later to jump into the booming automobile field. The first of the “T” series began with the Triumph TR2 in 1953, followed soon by the TR3. All these early ones had “cut down” doors, a very distinctive styling feature. The cut-down design ended with the arrival of the TR4 in 1961, followed by the TR5 in 1967 and the TR6 in 1968, which in turn was replaced after 1976 by the TR7. The TR6 owned by Don Osadec has disc brakes in the front and drum brakes in the rear. The ones built for export to North America used carburetion whereas the ones built for the U.K. and other markets were fuel-injected. These models, according to Autocar magazine, could go from 0-60 in 8.2 seconds and with a top speed of 120 mph. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in my column will receive a free autographed copy of my book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.” Don Osadec’s 1974 TR6. Note “DONS DRM” licence plate for Don’s Dream car.
