Group seeks municipal partnership for hydro generation installation plained Director of Planning and Development Forbes Symon, the municipality has supported, by resolution, the efforts of the BRREA to establish a hydro electric generating plant at the Burritts Rapids dam. In 2010, the BRREA was incorporated as a not-forprofit, community organization. In 2013, the BRREA commissioned a study looking at the viability of such a venture. The study was in part funded through a $50,000 grant from GCFDC (Grenville

A unique opportunity was presented to North Grenville council on June 15. The Burritts Rapids Renewable Energy Association (BRREA) submitted a request to form a partnership with the municipality for the purpose of developing, operating and sharing revenue from a small hydro generation installation at the Burritts Rapids dam site, which is owned by Parks Canada.

Community Futures Development Corporation). The study concluded the project had merits, but the current (at the time) provincial compensation rates for hydro generation were not sufficient to make the project financially viable. In 2014, the province announced a 70 per cent increase in the FIT (Feed-In Tariff) rate for small hydro generation projects. This change in the provincial compensation rate now makes the project financially viable. BRREA intends to submit its proposal to the next intake round, anticipated to open July 13, 2015. Symon explained as part of the new FIT regulations, a specific amount of generating capacity has been reserved for municipal projects, which is why the BRREA is seeking a partnership with the municipality. “This request would see no financial commitment on the part of the municipality,” said Symon. “All the financial aspects of the project are to be assumed by Equinox Hydro See COUNCIL page K2

The Father’s Day Show & Shine marks the 10-year anniversary of Kemptville Cruise Night. The event, put on by the Highway 43 Car Club, took place in Riverside Park on June 21. The show was not only a good time for car enthusiasts, but also collected canned goods for the local Salvation Army Food Bank. Scott Mellan and Lisa St. Jean are a couple with a passion for cars. On the left, a 1970 VW Bus (hers) and on the right, a 1970 Charger RT (his). At first, Lisa resisted Scott’s love of cars, but after attending a car show with him, which featured a VW bus, she told him she would go to the shows, if she could have her own VW. Problem solved. The matching year’s may just be a coincidence. From left, Lisa, Shannon Mellan, Scott and Brianna Mellan. More photos of the show on page K6.

United Counties to revamp council chambers over the summer Interest in regional Ombudsman sought Warden Dave Gordon and Counties staff are asking Leeds Grenville municipal leaders if there is an interest in having an ombudsman specific to eastern Ontario. “At this time it is exploratory,” Warden Gordon said, adding they first want to know if municipalities are interested. CAO Andy Brown will be sending out additional information to all Leeds Grenville municipalities so it can be discussed by councils. The Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC) will be considering a report from CAOs recommending it recruit and retain a regional ombudsman for use by EOWC members. If EOWC decides to retain a regional ombudsman, it would then invite counties and local municipalities to opt in or out. In January 2016, the Public Sector and MPP Accountability and Transparency Act (Bill 8) comes into effect. The legislation enables the Ontario Ombudsman to investigate complaints relating to all public sector bodies, including municipalities. Prior to this legislation, a municipal ombudsman was not a requirement. Under Bill 8, if a municipality doesn’t appoint its own

Counties CAO Andy Brown said the renovation will proceed but staff will look again at how to keep the desks in place while still achieving the muchneeded upgrade. Counties staff has budgeted $160,000 for the renovation. The bulk of the budget is for technology requirements of microphone, hearing assist and audio-visual systems. The original proposal was to remove the antique desks and replace them with ones which could be wired and also configured to allow for all members to be seated in a semi-circle. At present, the larger desks are positioned in two facing double rows. Counties administration first moved into the building in 2004. Other renovations and a new addition have been added, but the chamber has not been updated. Issues include poor lighting, a dark décor and an old speaker system. Exposed wires on the floor also pose a health and safety concern. The new design has an elevated floor to accommodate wiring underneath the floor and will eliminate the need for a chair lift, and provide for a ramp instead. Renovations are to begin in July and are expected to be completed in the early fall.

The following are highlights of the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville council meeting held on Thursday, June 18, and committee of the whole on June 2. Council members want to keep near century-old antique desks in a major Counties chamber renovation this summer. “The desks are part of the history of the United Counties,” said council member Herb Scott, Mayor of Athens. Scott was the first of many members to say they wanted the desks to stay and the chamber re-design be adjusted to allow for them. Member Dave Nash, Mayor of Merrickville-Wolford, added the desks add to the “heritage value of the chamber.” “We feel pretty strongly about the desks,” said Robin Jones, Mayor of Westport. The desks were built between 191819 in Preston, Ontario, by the Guggisberg Brothers. They are made of three types of mahogany, including a species of mahogany that is now endangered. Each unit has numbers which correspond to photographs of members who originally sat two at each desk when the chamber was housed in the Brockville Courthouse.

What does the word “home” mean to you? Lanark County Social Housing wants to know. Social housing case worker Emily Hollinger appeared before the Lanark County community services committee June 17 to inform county councillors about the organization’s ‘Home Is...” social media campaign. Launched May 1, using the hashtag #Homes4Lanark, individuals are encouraged to write down what home means to them by completing the phrase “Home is...” Then, take a photo holding the sign and upload it to to Lanark County’s Facebook and Twitter sites. “The goal is to create a picture of what housing and homelessness means to the people of Lanark County,” noted Hollinger. “...In the end, we’d like to roll this all up into one package that shows what home is in Lanark County.” Hollinger indicated that the message doesn’t necessarily have to be a positive one, but “I hope it’s something that is heartfelt.” Those who don’t have access to social media, but would still like to participate in the campaign, can email their photos to housingapplications@ lanarkcounty.ca. “This a great initiative,” noted county councillor and Beckwith Deputy Reeve Sharon Mousseau. The Lanark County Social Housing social media campaign wraps up Oct. 1.

Lanark County council considers supporting Interval House akulp@perfprint.ca
R0013347573_0625
For 36 years, Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) has been a safe haven for women and children to escape from violent situations. And they’ve been doing it free of charge. LCIH executive director Erin Lee underlined that message when she appeared as a delegation before Lanark County’s community services committee June 17 at the county building in Perth. Lee was there to provide county councillors with an overview of the organization’s operations, which strives to ensure women and their children have the right to “live with dignity and without the threat of abuse. When this right is denied or interfered with, we will provide protection and support.” Lee said LCIH classifies violence against women as domestic violence. “We often talk about violence against women, but we see it as something that’s rooted in women’s issues...but it’s difficult to classify it. It makes us seem like we’re anti-men or radical, but we express it as domestic violence,” she said. It’s an issue that isn’t going anyway anytime soon, she stated, noting that in 2009, the World Health Organization named violence against women as a major health problem and a violation against human rights. Up to 95 per cent of the victims are women with one in three women having experienced violence at some point in their lives in Canada. According to statistics provided by LCIH, Aboriginal women in Canada are four times more likely to experience violence. As well, 83 per cent of women with disabilities will be physically or sexually assaulted. “There’s a cycle of violence,” Lee
said. “First comes the blow up, then the make up and honeymoon stage and then the tension builds again. This is the cycle.” LCIH helps women and children by providing them refuge in their 15-bed residential shelter and a 24/7 crisis line. Lee said other programs for children, transitional support and outreach are also designed to help women rebuild their lives. They also provide a family court support worker, public education and volunteer/fundraising program. While she wasn’t appearing before the committee specifically to seek funding, Lee said costs and numbers of those seeking services, are always increasing. Add to that, a generator that recently quit. Last year, 40 women and 39 children accessed the shelter and LCIH dealt with 1,575 calls. All told, the organization aided 510 women and 79 children in 2014. “Our numbers are still growing overall compared to a total 481 women and 141 children in combined services in 2012,” she stated. “I’m not formally making any ask, but I’m formally making a request that you do some consideration concerning Lanark County Interval House,” Lee stressed. “We welcome the opportunity anytime to come and talk about what’s happening in your county and what Lanark County Interval House is doing to protect women and children in Lanark County.” “...There are more victims of violence. They live in your communities, they are your neighbours and your friends. They could be your kid’s daughter’s friend or could be in this room,” she continued. “...Together, when we embark on discussions in various communities, we know that we can be the force to make the difference to end violence against women in Lanark County. What is the value of

having a dedicated anti-violence agency in your community?” County council listened, with Beckwith Reeve Richard Kidd putting forth a motion to consider LCIH during the 2016 budget process. “One of the reasons you’re here this evening is to talk to the new councillors and I can say that since Erin has come on board, she is the biggest advocator, making everyone aware everywhere she goes,” he stated. “I motion that we put this into the budget process...and consider a line item for Interval House.” However, Perth Mayor John Fenik believed they should go one step further and attach a dollar figure. “I thought the intent was to develop a line item for Interval House and I think if we’re going to do that, we should attach a dollar amount for discussion,” he
said, putting forth an amendment to the motion to include a $50,000 line item in next year’s budget. “Last time Interval House was here was two years ago when they needed emergency funding...this year as Erin presented, it’s clear that violence against women in Lanark County is rising and the needs are exceptional.” “It would be nice to discuss creating a budget line. That’s all fine and good, but the rubber hits the road when you attach a dollar figure,” Fenik added. Kidd indicated it would be premature to put a dollar amount on the funding. The majority of his counterparts agreed and defeated Fenik’s amendment. “I agree with Richard, we should wait for budget time and see where we are,” said Drummond/North Elmsley Deputy Reeve Gail Code. “We can’t commit to an amount now.

Sonya Ardley will be working throughout Lanark County as part of the Invading Species Awareness Program Hit Squad this summer to spread awareness about the impact of invasive species.
Awareness Program. This program uses public education to prevent the introduction of new invasive species, and to stop the spread of those already here. Over the course of the summer, the Invading Species Hit Squad, comprised of about 25 summer students, will monitor local lakes, waterways and forests, looking for zebra mussels, spiny water flea, round goby, giant hogweed, garlic mustard, and other invaders. They will also be engaging their community to increase awareness of invasive species. Funding is being provided by the federal government’s Canada Summer Jobs program. The public is invited to contact Sonya Ardley at 613-278-2215 or email her at sonyaplentycanada@gmail.com. To report a sighting of an invasive species, or request information materials, call the Invading Species Hotline at 1-800-563-7711, visit www.invadingspecies.com or EDDMapS.org/ Ontario.

The board’s priority continues to focus on teaching and learning in classrooms. The 2015-2016 budget incorporates expense adjustments that maintain a focus on student achievement while limiting the risk to service disruption and business continuity, and respects the guidance of the board of trustees by responding to the reduction in special education revenue received
R0013331910_0611
A new budget passed by trustees June 17 will strengthen the Upper Canada District School Board’s (UCDSB) finances and support its focus on teaching for learning, said chair Jeff McMillan. The 2015-2016 budget reflects a concerted effort by board staff to improve the organization’s financial situation. This budgetary work is in response to a significant reduction in 2015-2016 revenue of $7.4 million. The new budget results in a $1.5 million deficit which is compliant with Ministry of Education (MOE) regulations for Ontario school boards. The total special education revenue gap is $4.5 million for 2015-2016, driven mainly by a $3.5 million reduction in ministry high needs funding in 2014-15 and 2015-16 combined, and is the first step of a multi-year financial plan to achieve balanced budgets. “As a board, we’ve asked our director to find savings without impacting the classroom,” said McMillan of the new budget. “We are proud of the hard work of our senior team. It has not been an easy task and it has required a great amount of work and time.

Invasive species pose a growing threat to Ontario’s biodiversity and cause millions of dollars in damage annually. There are more invasive species in Ontario than anywhere else in Canada, so it is a good thing that the Invading Species Awareness Program (ISAP) Hit Squad is working across the province again this summer to spread awareness about the impacts that invasive species are having on our environment, economy, and society. One member of the squad is located here in Lanark this summer. Locally, Sonya Ardley is an Invasive Species Community Outreach Liaison working with Plenty Canada and the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH). “Preventing the spread of invasive species is something all Ontarians can take part in,” says Ardley. “One small action, such as cleaning your boat between different bodies of water, can make a huge difference.” The OFAH partners with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry to deliver the Invading Species

Singers sought to be part of new Carleton Place vocal jazz ensemble Calling soprano, alto, tenor and bass singers to the inaugural start of singing with the Carleton Place Offbeats, a vocal jazz ensemble. Recruitment for singers is being spearheaded by Margo Smith, ensemble accompanist and Carleton Place resident. The goal is to recruit nine to 12 singers for this adult voice jazz choir of women and men. The SATB (fourpart mixed) repertoire will include: blues, ballads, bebop, and swing tunes with songs such as: Sentimental Journey, Gonna Build a Mountain, I’ve Got
the Sun in the Morning, Dream, Blue Moon, High Hopes (two-part ladies), Sweet Georgia Brown (two-part men) and more. This is your chance to be part of a welcoming, friendly group, who enjoy singing, enjoy meeting new faces, or singing with familiar ones. It is also an opportunity to share this music through performance, as determined by the group, or as opportunities arise from within our local communities. A perfect voice is not required, but advantages would be: previous ensemble or choral experience, having a
good sense of rhythm to sing offbeat music, singing in various tempos from fast bebop tunes to languid ballads, singing with blended voice and having knowledge of basic to intermediate music reading skills and part-singing ability. An appreciation of this style of music, and feeling the freedom to move with the music is an essential element. A congenial personality adds
to the dynamics for small ensemble singing. Participation will include two blocks of time with the fall term running from October to the end of November. Spring term participation would be for the months of February to the end of March. Rehearsals will be scheduled for Thursdays from 1 to 3 p.m. starting on Oct. 1 at Smith’s home. Music
for each term will be distributed in advance with the requirement that singers have a good understanding of the music prior to the first rehearsal. No membership fee will be required. Ensemble members will be asked to purchase the sheet music required per term. Interested? Email Margo Smith at CarletonPlaceOffbeats@gmail.com.

C
anada Day is arguably the kick-off to summer. With the warmest season of the year having officially arrived on June 21, we’re all looking for an excuse to celebrate and what better way than our nation’s birthday? However, there are ways to do so responsibly. The Ontario Provincial Police are reminding motorists, boaters and ATV operators that they will be out in full force over the Canada Day holiday, ensuring public safety. Distracted driving remains one of the number one causes of collisions and it doesn’t just apply to texting while driving. If you’re operating a motor vehicle, adjusting your GPS or stereo, eating and drinking or applying makeup while driving and being inattentive can classify as distracted. What’s even scarier is that in the age of smart phones, distracted driving fatalities have surpassed alcoholrelated deaths in collisions since the OPP instituted distracted driving laws in 2009. Six years on, have we learned nothing?
If there didn’t need to be another reason to stay alert while driving, there is. The OPP reported this week that the month of June was a bad one on Ontario roads, with 27 deaths, the majority of which are attributed to poor driver behaviours. Those 27 deaths came from 23 collisions between June 1 and 21. This brings the number of road deaths so far in 2015 on Ontario roads to 124. The OPP are calling these fatalities senseless and we have to agree. There’s no excuse for putting yourself and others on the road at risk by not buckling your seatbelt or putting that phone down, or choosing to get behind the wheel while intoxicated. We all have a role to play in ensuring we arrive at our destinations safely. Brush up on your own driving etiquette, but keep an eye out for others who may have bad habits. If you see someone who is distracted behind the wheel, let the OPP know. Call 911 if you believe someone is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Prevention is key.
Mudpout was not a delicacy young Mary enjoyed When the Bonnechere River was still swollen from the spring runoff, it became a perfect hunting ground for my brothers, allowing them to indulge in one of their favourite pastimes, while at the same time, adding a bit of variety to the meat from the smoke house or to dinners of chicken or them at my brother’s hands.

ried a heavy slop pail, which was bigger by far than the milk pails we used in the cow byre. As soon as they reached the river they filled the pail with water and then wandered up and down the banks looking for their prey. Sometimes they crawled out on the big maple tree that had long ago fallen across the river at its narrowest spot. This allowed them to be right over the channel where they could see deep into the depths of the Bonnechere. They were silent as foxes and as I watched from my spot well away from the river, I felt like I was witnessing some terrible act of violence. But still I stayed at the riverbank, mesmerized. The brothers uttered not a word. But when they spotted a mudpout they would point frantically and one of them would

plunge the spear into the water with deadly purpose. Rarely did they miss the target and they would bring the weapon up with a squirming mudpout impaled on the end of the spear. Whoever caught the fish would leave his post and head for the
bucket of water. This was when I would cover my eyes. I had no idea how they got the fish off the prong and I had no desire to learn. But long after the brother had gone back to his perch on the tree trunk or along the river band, I would hear the mudpout slapping
against the side of the pail. It was not unusual for the boys to catch half a dozen or more of the fish. And when the bucket could hold no more, two of them would take the handle and head See MARY page 9

up the hill for the house. If they saw me lurking in a clump of bushes, they paid me no heed. They knew how I felt about their murderous mission and realized they would never convince me they had not committed a violent crime. Once Everett, my oldest brother told me the fish had no nerves, and so would never feel the spear. But I didn’t believe him for a minute. Why else would it slap around in the pail trying to escape? After the boys took the pail to a big flat stump of a fallen elm in our back yard, they would clean the fish and get them ready for Mother in the kitchen. And then I faced my next dilemma. I knew Mother would be cooking the mudpout for supper and I dreaded not only the sight of them on the platter, but I especially hated the smell of them in the fry pan. To me, the fish smelled just like the Bonnechere River when its bed had gone dry at the end of the summer. Add to this the fact that the one and only time I hovered near the stove while Mother
was frying them, I actually saw them squirm in the pan. Well, that tore it for me. I was convinced the fish were still alive, in spite of the fact they had been stripped clean. I once told my brother Emerson I thought Mother was cooking the mudpout live, and hateful like he was, he assured me that was indeed the case. Needless to say, from that day forward, I refused to eat as much as a smidgen of fish caught from the Bonnechere. Mother always said the fish were a welcomed break from the roasts and chicken we raised in great abundance on the farm. And while the rest of the family dug into the platter as if they hadn’t had a meal for a month, I ate cold pork or beef, keeping my eyes averted from the quickly vanishing platter in the centre of the supper table. My hateful brother Emerson, to aggravate me further, would smack his lips, and all through supper would try to convince me that if I tried even a small mouthful, I would soon change my mind about mudpout. Nothing could convince me that I would change my mind...not
even Mother’s comment that if we didn’t eat everything put before us, we were taking food right out of the mouth of the starving Armenians.

The Empire Sandy, a tall ship that was born a tug boat and served time in the Second World War salvaging merchant ships, made its way into Hardy Park, Brockville to kick off the All Ships Festival, June 19 to 21. The Friday evening dinner cruise was an opportunity to enjoy the threehour sunset sail, a roast beef dinner even some dancing. For Doug and Evelyn Sloane, it was an opportunity to see their family – the captain of the Empire Sandy is their son. “Gordon has been on the water since he was born,” said Evelyn, who admitted that they are able to get on board the boat, which their son and his family call home, 24/7, a couple times a year. Doug and Evelyn were making a weekend of it in Brockville. They hail from Prince Edward County and coming to Brockville was a chance for a minivacation as well as some important family time. Doug said his son was the youngest captain in North America at age 21. “We’re very proud of him,” he said, while taking a drag from his sweetsmelling pipe. “They have a blog, The Good Ship

Doug and Evelyn Sloane of Prince Edward County are not just regular passengers aboard this tall ship, Empire Sandy. They are the parents of Capt. Gordon Sloan. They are able to hop aboard the tall ship a couple times a year to visit with their son and his family, who call the vessel home. Monster, and they write about their life.” The Sloanes say their son, his wife and their son, along with the family dog, a retriever type called Anchor, have been living on the ship for many years.
“It’s their life,” Evelyn said. The senior Sloanes have been together 52 years – and after getting married, they purchased a boat and did a lot of sailing themselves. “Asia is my favourite,” said Evelyn. “We just love the water, and Gordon was born to sail…he’s been in boats for 44 years.” When asked if they ever worry about their son, Evelyn remembered a time when Gordon was on the water, “and we got a call from the coast guard. Of course, that’s our worst fear,” she said. “When the coast guard put my son on the phone, he asked me for a favourite cheesecake recipe.” She laughed at the memory. Doug recalled a time when their son called him after sailing down through the Panama and on his way back home, “he needed crew, so we went to help him. We were his crew.” Not only has Gordon captained the Empire Sandy, but he has also been at the helm of the Fair Jeanne, another tall ship to anchor in Brockville during the weekend. There were dock tours and sail-outs happening all weekend during the festival, as well as food, entertainment, vendors and displays.

Tall ship, Empire Sandy, sets sail from Brockville’s Hardy Park to kick off recent All Ships Festival
Reflections By Jeff maguire
Joyce Mitchell, a 51-year-old instructor in the prison sewing shop, befriended the two killers and had a sexual relationship with Matt. It appears he convinced her to bring them some of the tools and equipment they needed to cut through steel walls and underground pipes in order to facilitate their escape. Panic attack Authorities claim Mitchell failed to meet the men with a vehicle, as planned, and drive them to a pre-arranged location. It’s alleged the besotted prison employee developed cold feet. Instead of whisking the men away to begin a new life with them, she checked herself into hospital after suffering a panic attack. After being arrested and jailed on several charges related to her alleged complicity in the escape, Mitchell evidently began singing like a canary. Despite claims by family members, including her son and first husband that she would never be involved in such a situation, the plot thickened on a daily basis. In fact the stories emerging from tiny Dannemora are so sordid that major US television entertainment programs, talk shows and tabloids have had a field day. CNN ran daily features on the escape and the story quickly went international. As more details surfaced NY State officials said it is believed Mitchell had arranged to have the pair kill her current husband (also a prison employee) and run
away with them. To me news footage of Mitchell in court, sporting prison garb and handcuffs, paints a very different picture. The word “naïve” springs to mind. It’s pure conjecture of course but it is hard for me to envision those individuals planning a life with anyone once they were free. It may not only have been Mitchell’s husband whose life was in jeopardy? Meanwhile another male prison employee has also been questioned and disciplined in connection with the escape. His involvement hasn’t been publicized. As for the escapees themselves, these are not nice people. Matt was serving a life sentence for torturing and murdering an elderly man, his former boss and dismembering the body with a hacksaw in 1997. He threw the remains into a river. Matt has a history of escapes from custody dating back to when he was 13 and living in a group home. His appropriately named sidekick – he must be “Sweat-ing” it out while he’s on the lam – received a life sentence without the possibility of parole for the vicious July 2002 slaying of a Sheriff’s Deputy near Binghamton, in south-central New York State. After shooting the policeman Sweat drove a car over the officer’s body several times while he was still alive. When Kathy and I passed through Dannemora on May 24, less than two weeks before the escape, we noticed a ‘For Sale’ sign on a small home directly opposite the prison. I remember saying, “Can you imagine buying a home here?” Somehow I think the property values in Dannemora have just taken a plunge! That said the well-planned and executed escape is the first in the
history of the maximum security section of the prison which was opened in 1845. It is known as ‘Little Siberia’ because of the cold winters in Upstate New York and the relatively remote location surrounded by heavy forest and crisscrossed by mountains, hills and rivers. The Dannemora facility is designed to house 3,000 prisoners and not surprisingly it is at capacity. There is 1,400 staff, many of whom live in and around Plattsburgh. Famous inmates from the past include Charles “Lucky” Luciano, the Prohibition-era gangster. Luciano served 10 years of a 30-50 year sentence at what was then called Dannemora State Prison for running a prostitution ring in New York City. He was deported to his native Sicily following World War II and died in 1962. Another past inmate at Dannemora was Robert Chambers, the so-called “Preppie Killer” who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the Central Park (New York City) slaying of 18-year-old Jennifer Levin in 1986. Chambers’ story has been well publicized on television. He was released in 2003 but is back in prison after being convicted on various drug-related charges. Violent criminals The current list of prisoners in Dannemora features a long list of the most violent male criminals in New York State. Given the help they had, including the silence of cellmates who must have heard the men cutting through steel walls, I don’t put this incident in the same league as the fictional Shawshank Redemption See COLUMN page 12

This is a view of the massive Clinton County Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York. The prison wall comprises one side of the main street in the small village near Plattsburgh. The maximum security prison has been in the news recently following a daring escape by two convicted murderers. Connected to Your Community A/CP/K/P/SF - 11 - Thursday, June 25, 2015

The Clinton County Correctional Facility is an ominous and imposing structure. The main wall of the maximum security prison rises several storeys above New York State Route 374. The wall forms one side of the main street in the small village of Dannemora. Guard towers, with watchful figures always evident inside, stand at the corners of the edifice. Watchful indeed! Sometime overnight June 5-6 two convicted murderers completed an escape plan that had clearly been well designed and took many hours to execute. As a result the massive prison, which has housed some of the most notorious criminals in New York history during its 170 years of existence, has been thrust into the international spotlight. At this writing the two escapees Richard Matt, 48, and David Sweat, 35, have not yet been located, despite the efforts of more than 800 law enforcement officials who searched the area around the clock for days. Despite sightings in other places the search remains focused on the mountainous, heavily forested Dannemora district. The two killers have eluded capture despite the fact a key ingredient in their plan – the getaway car – failed to arrive as scheduled. While rare, prison escapes are not unheard of. Even in modern times, when security features have improved dramatically, there is always someone willing to try. Most escapees are apprehended swiftly. My wife Kathleen and I were surprised to hear about the breakout from the Dannemora prison and also very interested. We had driven through the village just 12 days before on our way back from a holiday in Vermont. We pass through Dannemora once or twice a year on our regular driving trips through the northeastern United States. It’s only an hour’s drive from the Canadian border. My interest in real-life crime means I have always been intrigued by the huge, stark prison in the middle of nowhere. I have taken photographs of the place to show family and friends. Despite the often overblown media reports, this was not an escape equal to those portrayed in films such as the Shawshank Redemption or Escape from Alcatraz. The latter was based on a true story, something I will expand on later. This escape was, from all accounts, the absolute definition of “an inside job.” Based on the number of charges she is facing and the vast amount of news coverage focused on her case, it appears the two murderers managed to charm a female prison employee. The word “charmed” is an understatement. Prosecutors in Clinton County, NY allege that

Movies Under the Stars marks fifth anniversary July 2 in Smiths Falls sroy@perfprint.ca
There is no better birthday theme for a five-year-old than Cinderella! This July 2 Together Smiths Falls: A Community Enhancement Association will be welcoming the classic Disney princess to their fifth anniversary celebrations of Movies Under the Stars July 2 under the water tower. Since 2010 the non-profit organization has teamed up with local charities to provide free child-friendly activities and a nighttime movie under the stars. Each year Susan Richards, a founding event volunteer, said the park event raises $2,000 to $2,500 for various organizations via concession
stand proceeds. “In five years we’ve given back a fair chunk of money to community groups that help us out every week,” Richards said. Non-profit organizations receive a portion of concession stands in exchange for providing volunteers and kids activities for their movie night. Richards is one of three volunteers who has given of her time since the start of Movies Under the Stars to bring this free family-friendly experience to town. Fellow volunteer, Heather Whiting and association president, Tracey Pankow join her in celebrating five years of giving back to their community July 2. “It should be a lot of fun,” Pankow said. Volunteers, Nora Elliott and
Deanna Gaston have joined the association since its inception five years ago and will be celebrating along side their founding peers next Thursday night. The evening will begin with a free barbecue from 6 to 7 p.m. to kick off the party thanks to the Local Immigration Partnership. Afterwards, pre-show activities will begin with balloons, a birthday cake, clowns, face painting and lots of fun with a bubble machine. This season opener is the start of a summer full of Thursday evenings under the water tower. Following is a complete list of dates and movies for this season’s Movies Under the Stars experience. All movies begin at dusk with children’s activities taking
from stolen raincoats to enter the bay. To ensure they had a good start the men constructed dummy heads, made from papier-mâché and complete with hair stolen from the prison barber shop, which they placed in their bunks to fool patrolling guards. None of the three men or their bodies was ever found. The official report on the escape concludes they drowned in the swift currents and icy waters of San Francisco Bay. In the excellent 1979 film Escape from Alcatraz, Clint Eastwood portrayed the highly intelligent Morris. And some reports say the prison warden at the time received a card from Morris on every anniversary of the escape. Alcatraz closed its doors less than a year later. It is now a major destination for visitors to San Francisco and is definitely on my
bucket list. Obviously I am following the hunt for the Dannemora escapees with great interest. Hopefully they will be caught soon and put back where they belong. The escape by Matt and Sweat is almost certain to attract attention from filmmakers, if only because of the assistance they evidently received from a lovestruck employee. That adds another dimension to an already intriguing tale. But if you ever decide to take NY Rt. 374 from Malone to Plattsburgh and you pass through Dannemora I have a little advice for you. Don’t pick up any hitchhikers! If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey. maguire@rogers.com.

prisoner spent 17 years cutting through his cell wall and tunneling his way to a sewage pipe which he used to flee the prison. One of the most ingenious real-life escapes in US history occurred at infamous Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary located on the island of the same name in San Francisco Bay. On June 11, 1962 three prisoners, Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers, John and Clarence, completed an intricate breakout. They too tunneled through their cell walls. They then climbed up pipes in a ventilation shaft to reach the cell block roof. They shimmied several storeys down the outside of the structure and scaled at least two barbed wire fences before making their way undetected to the water’s edge. They then used rubber rafts made

You’re newly graduated, with a great job and a solid future in sight – and you’re making your own money for the first time. You could spend some of it on a great vacation, a new car … or you could start investing in your retirement portfolio. When you’re a young Canadian strapped for cash, with student loans to pay off and lots of new lifestyle expenses, it’s difficult to save for the future. But the experts, and the life experiences of many investors, tell us that without a doubt, starting young is the key to investing successfully for retirement. Even if you start small, start now – because the longer you are in the markets, the more your savings will grow over time. Check out this example: • Mary invests $2,000 at the beginning of each year between ages 21 and 29, for a total of $18,000 over nine years. Assuming a pre-tax return of 7 per cent, by age 65, she will have $292,828 in pre-tax savings. • Lynn also invests $2,000 at the beginning of each year with the same pre-tax returns but starts at age 30. To get near Mary’s savings total of $292,828, Lynn will need to invest nearly four times as much -- $70,000 over 35 years.

Yearly eye exams can reveal more than just vision trouble More evidence points to the importance of routine eye exams, not only to pinpoint potential conditions of the eye, but also to serve as windows to diseases that affect the entire body. Now more than ever it is essential to make and keep annual eye exams, as they can help to reveal the first signs of serious ailments. Doctors from around the world say dozens of diseases — from certain cancers to arthritis to high blood pressure — can show symptoms in the eye. Under the watchful and knowing gaze of an eyecare professional, individuals can get early diagnosis and begin treatment promptly. According to Dr. Roy Chuck, chair of the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center, there are many systemic

diseases that can be seen in the eye. In addition to the conditions mentioned, jaundice can indicate liver disease while retinal detachment and bleeding in new blood vessels may indicate hypertension. By looking at the color of the cornea, some doctors can tell if a patient has elevated levels of cholesterol. Many people have had their eye doctors be the first healthcare professional to detect the presence of their diabetes. If an ophthalmologist suspects an underlying medical condition, he or she will likely refer men and women to their primary care doctors for a more thorough examination.

LP153973 If a doctor has confirmed that it is okay to participate in sports, these activities can help men and women 50 and older enjoy friendly competition and physical activity. Fishing: Fishing is more than just a leisurely day at the lake. Casting and reeling in your catch provides a good workout for the arms, legs and core muscles of the body. If you fish on the water, rowing out to your lucky spot provides additional cardiovascular exercise. Golf: Golf is enjoyed by people of all ages. Requiring a combination of strategy and skill, golf also pays several physical dividends. Play at your own pace, taking your time walking from hole to hole so you can enjoy the sunshine and soak in the beauty of the course. Swimming: A few laps around a pool works your whole body. Swimming is attractive to seniors because it works the muscles and provides a cardiovascular jolt without putting any strain on the joints. Cycling: Many seniors are avid cyclists. You can ride a bicycle in competition or for pleasure. You can even vary your route depending on how physically intense you want the ride to be. Seniors need not abandon their love of sport just because Father Time is catching up with them. Many sports can be enjoyed by athletes of all ages. LP153040

Keep your heart running strong into your golden years ages. • Get sufficient exercise. At least 30 minutes of exercise per day can protect against disease. • Quit smoking. Smoking increases your risk for a host of ailments, including heart disease. Quitting is a great way to start getting your heart and other parts of your body back on track. • Include heart-healthy foods in your diet. A diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables and low in cholesterol, salt and saturated fat promotes heart health. • Don’t drink alcohol to excess. Like smoking, drinking alcohol to excess can lead to a host of problems, such as high blood pressure, arrhythmia and
toward a heart attack include undue fatigue, palpitations (the sensation that your heart is skipping a beat or beating too rapidly), dyspnea (difficulty or labored breathing), chest pain or discomfort from increased activity. • Arrhythmia: Arrhythmia means your heartbeat is irregular, and men and women often mistakenly believe arrhythmia only afflicts those who already have been diagnosed with heart disease or have had a heart attack. But arrhythmia can affect even those men and women who have healthy hearts and no history of cardiovascular disease. Symptoms of arrhythmia can vary greatly, from a single premature beat to a series of premature beats that occur in rapid succession. Arrhythmia that lasts long enough to affect heart function may include symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, and chest pain. How can I protect my heart? Heart healthy habits take some effort, but men and women can protect their hearts regardless of their
How to build and maintain strong bones Osteoporosis, a disease that causes bones to become weakened and brittle over time, affects millions of people across the globe. The International Osteoporosis Foundation says an osteoporosis-related fracture occurs roughly once every 3 seconds, accounting for more than 8.9 million fractures a year. Younger individuals typically heal from fractures more quickly than older adults, who often discover that fractures greatly impede their mobility and quality of life. Bone health is important at any age, but it is particularly crucial as a person gets older. Without a strong framework of bones, the body collapses on itself and rates of fracture increase. Fortunately, there are several ways to keep and maintain strong bones. Bones are largely made up of a protein called collagen, which is bound together by calcium and other trace minerals. Vitamin D and calcium work in concert, with vitamin D helping the body to absorb calcium so it can find its way into bones. Experts advise getting the right ratio of calcium, protein and vitamin D to safeguard against osteoporosis. Dairy products, such as low- and nonfat milk, yogurt and cheese, are
high in calcium. Dark green vegetables and almonds contain calcium in smaller amounts. Obtaining calcium and vitamin D through natural sources is always preferable, but doctors may suggest supplementation to meet the minimum recommended levels. Exercise is another important component of building strong bones. The National Osteoporosis Foundation says 30 minutes of exercise each day can help. Higher-intensity exercises should be mixed with lower-intensity workouts for the best results. Weightbearing exercises, such as hiking, dancing and stairclimbing, can build between 1 and 3 percent of bone. An exercise regimen also should include lifting weights or using resistance bands. Activities that promote good posture and flexibility can help improve balance and alignment of the body. Perform stretches smoothly and slowly after exercising to maintain your range of motion. Quitting smoking also can promote strong bones. Smoking has been linked to poor skeletal health in both men and women, and the longer one smokes, the greater one’s risk for fracture. HW156239
high cholesterol, each of which increases your risk of heart disease. • Lose weight. Being overweight or obese is a major risk factor for heart disease. If you have already started to exercise daily and eat a more heart-healthy diet, then you’re on your way to losing weight. Consult your physician if diet and exercise don’t seem to be helping you to shed pounds. Heart disease kills millions of people across the globe each year, many of whom are over 50. But men and women who learn about heart disease and how to reduce their risk stand a far greater chance of fighting the disease. LP153977

Heart health should be a concern for people of all ages, but especially so for men and women over 50. That’s because, according to the American Heart Association, even men and women who are free of cardiovascular disease at age 50 are at a significant lifetime risk of developing the disease. But heart disease does not have to be an accepted byproduct of aging. For example, a 2014 study published in the AHA journal Circulation found that maintaining or increasing physical activity after age 65 can improve the heart’s well-being and lower risk of heart attack. In addition to increasing physical activity as they age, older men and women who understand heart disease and learn to recognize its symptoms have a greater chance of minimizing its affects and lowering their risk of having a heart attack. What are the symptoms of heart disease? Heart disease is a blanket term used to describe a host of conditions, so symptoms vary depending on each individual condition. The following are some of the more widely known conditions and their symptoms: • Hypertension: Also known as high blood pressure, hypertension is a largely symptomless form of heart disease. The AHA notes that the idea that hypertension produces symptoms such as difficulty sleeping, facial flushing, nervousness, and sweating is a misconception. Symptoms typically do not alert men and women to the presence of hypertension, highlighting the emphasis men and women should place on routine visits to the doctor’s office, where their blood pressure can be taken. • Heart attack: The symptoms of a heart attack are different than the symptoms of heart disease that may lead to heart attack. The former can be found by visiting www.heart.org. Signs that you may be heading

Eastern Ontario has interesting connection to the Titanic Tales from the Troubadour LYLE DILLABOUGH
that it was the Titanic’s sister ship, the Olympic, not the Titanic itself, which sank. The Olympic was apparently struck by a naval frigate prior to the construction of Titanic and the scheme was to switch ships and collect on the insurance. This theory maintains that shabby repair work was done to the Olympic so it could mask as the Titanic and then was sent out to be destroyed on purpose. Many famous and wealthy people perished on that voyage and this fact only adds to those conspiracy theories. Then the massive insurance payments afterwards were supposedly used to help finance the First World War. Since the event many mysterious things have come to light. The graves in Halifax are laid out in such a way as to duplicate
a hurry with little regard to placement, persons, or overall sense of graveyard order. The chances that the Unknown Child should be located near its mother is staggering. Here in eastern Ontario, there exists a connection to the Titanic as well. In the Village of Chesterville, one can find the Titanic House, which was owned by Hudson Allison. Mr. Allison and his son Trevor were passengers on the Titanic. Hudson drowned that night but his son survived but only to succumb to poisoning shortly thereafter. The two are buried at the Maple Submitted photo Ridge Cemetery near ChesThe Titanic has a connection here in eastern Ontario, in Ches- terville and both the house

DON’T DUMP IT… BLUE BOX IT!
The simple act of recycling has more impact on the environment than the average Canadian thinks. The amount of wood and paper North Americans throw away each year is enough to heat five million homes for 200 years.
ENERGY TIP!
Check doors for proper insulation. Place your hand against a door from the inside. If it feels cooler than the inside walls, it might be time to install a door that’s better insulated.

and the grave site have become a key pilgrimage site for serious ‘Titaniacs.’ In April of 2007 a large group of Titaniacs gathered at the grave site to observe the anniversary of the ship wreck. And so, to this very day the legend goes on. Titanic has affected and touched us all. A few years back my daughter Crystal and I stood amongst the graves of those who perished that awful night. The feeling was indescribable and we both sensed it quite powerfully. The way many do when they hear the words and music to the movie sound track that proclaims, “I know that the heart must go on.”

On the night of April 14, 1912 the “unsinkable” Titanic sank on its maiden voyage off of the coast of Newfoundland. It is an event that has lodged itself firmly in the minds and hearts of many and has become entrenched in our collective social conscious. The image of this great ocean liner succumbing to the cold depths of the Atlantic taking more than 1,500 people with her rates as one of the most frightening nightmares that could confront the human mind. But that’s exactly what happened and the world has never been able to forget about it. In fact, Titanic has become a major obsession for many. The James Cameron 1997 epic motion picture ranks amongst the highest grossing movies of all time. The DVD sales alone are more than five times greater than the amount of what the picture’s initial theatre run produced. Yes; Titanic’s heart does seem to “go on.” Since the events of that fateful night, many “conspiracy theories” and such have come forward. It has even been suggested

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, make note of any and all thoughts that pop into your head this week. Even your more quirky ideas may amount to something that brings big success. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, play things close to the vest this week. Certain projects are up in the air, and you may need to more closely examine each situation before suggesting a course of action. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 It can be tough to stay on track this week, Gemini. It’s hard to focus on work even for short periods of time. Try to maintain your productivity amidst the distractions. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, if you have any free time this week, sneak off to a quiet place and daydream for a little while. Some of your most inspiring ideas have come at the most unexpected moments. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 The line between fact and fantasy can be a bit blurry this week, Leo. You may be pulled in different directions, but try to maintain your focus. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, rather than looking at things on the surface, dig a little deeper to try to find more profound meanings. You may unearth several interesting patterns.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you may feel as though you are in unfamiliar surroundings this week. Don’t get too scared, as this break from the norm might provide a little extra hop in your step. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Recognize the potential for magic wherever you go this week, Scorpio. You have the ability to see beauty where others only see blemishes.

Planning a day or evening with those you love most is a great way to escape the daily grind. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, honor all of your commitments in the coming days. Recognize others are counting on you and do your best to live up to their expectations. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, give a minor financial issue the attention it deserves. It’s better to nip it in the bud early on so the situation does not escalate. Take responsibility for the problem. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, avoid distractions as you look to resolve an issue that has been tough to handle. Try to clear your head before making decisions. 0625
Jorge Miguel’s flamenco ensemble to perform at MERA this Sunday res, JosĂŠ Antonio Rodriguez in Cordoba, Gerardo NuĂąez in Sanlucar, Pepe Russo in Cadiz, Don Antonio Villar in El Puerto de Santa Maria, Carlos Del Rio in Madrid, Augustin “Bolaâ€? Carbonell in Seville and attended workshops with Diego Del Morao and singer Rocio Marquez in Toronto. Miguel has also accompanied renowned dancers such as Esmeralda Enrique, Soledad Barrio, Isabel Bayon and Maria Serrano. In 2002 the Jorge Miguel Flamenco Ensemble was formed with the mandate to take true Flamenco to audiences across Canada and beyond. The Ensemble combines the three pillars of Flamenco, the guitar, the dance and the song (el Toque, el Baile y el CantĂŠ). Miguel has performed over 1,000 shows from Whitehorse, The Yukon to Antigonish, Nova Scotia as well as in the US and Europe. Miguel’s ensemble was nominated in 2011 for Capacoa Touring Artist of the Year and Miguel was awarded the 2013 Canadian Folk Music Award for World Solo Artist and Instrumental Artist of the Year.
“He performs with a gusto he calls ‘full contact, hard-core’ flamenco‌the tempo-shifting Alegrias en La and the spirited Rumba Tangos are take-noprisoner affairs, full of rousing vocals, percussive handclaps or “palmasâ€? and Miguel’s fleet-fingered guitar playing. Even quieter numbers like the meditative Trocitus (Solea) and the gentle Silencio por Alegrias are brimming with emotion.â€? – Nicholas Jennings, Penguin Eggs Magazine “When the musician is Jorge Miguel...you’re talking serious flamenco. He went right to the source – Seville in Spain – to learn the intricacies of the music.â€? – Fresh Air, CBC Radio The Jorge Miguel Ensemble appears at MERA Schoolhouse in McDonald’s Corners on Sunday, June 28, at 2 p.m. Tickets are $22 in advance ($20 for MERA members) and are available at Ticket’s Please at 39 Foster St. Perth, (Jo’s Clothes), by phone at 613-485-6434 or online at www. ticketsplease.ca.

The final concert in MERA’s Sunday Schoolhouse Spring Concert Series, on Sunday, June 28, will feature award-winning Spanish/Canadian flamenco guitarist and composer Jorge Miguel, in an ensemble that includes a flamenco singer and dancer. Miguel’s new CD Guitarra Flamenca/Flamenco Guitar is an exploration of the depth and breadth of Flamenco Guitar by an artist that has dedicated his life to this art form. Eight diverse songs styles, known in Flamenco circles as “palosâ€?, are performed with precision, passion and originality yet remain firmly rooted in tradition. Miguel’s family is from Cadiz, AndalucĂa, Spain, his parents moved from Seville to Toronto just one year before he was born. After years of trying to ignore his Spanish roots, Miguel realized his true calling was playing Flamenco. Miguel moved back to Spain in 1995 to immerse himself in the study of Flamenco Guitar, and he has not strayed from that path since. Miguel has studied with maestro’s Manolo Sanlucar, CaĂąiza-

assumed by Equinox Hydro (the company slated to build the hydro generation installation).” David Simpson, BRREA board chair, explained the shareholders of the municipality (residents) would hold 51 per cent of the shares, the BRREA would hold 24.5 per cent and Equinox Hydro would hold 24.5 per cent. “If we receive a FIT contract, the first thing we would have to do is an Environmental Assessment (EA),” said Simpson. “That process takes about a year.” He said over the period of the first 20 years, the municipality and the BRREA would receive $35,000 each annually. After 20 years, the municipality would be given the option of taking over operation from Equinox Hydro, assuming all responsibility and liability, or maintaining the existing arrangement. “This will benefit the community and the municipality,” said Simpson. Symon explained this project is a strong, coordinated grass roots project, within the community. “These types of projects don’t come along very often,” said Symon. “I want to present this project to council as unique. This is a green energy initiative that is community driven with no financial commitment on the part of the municipality. At first, it seemed too good to be true. But it’s real.” He explained this project goes handin-hand with the ‘Green and Growing’ mantra the municipality lives by. “It provides additional revenue for the community and it’s a green energy source,” said Symon. “There is still a tremendous amount of work to do; a lot of details to be figured out. Council adopted a partnership with the BRREA on June 22.

Sure we can! 2014-2015 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY
Wander the halls of our hospital and you’ll witness WDMH Pride everywhere. We are here for you - from childbirth to seniors’ care. We have a ‘sure we can’ attitude – working hard to ensure every patient experience is the best it can be. Together, we have much to be proud of. u Despite a five-year funding freeze, WDMH is actually doing more. We’ve added specialty clinics in endocrinology, neurology and rheumatology, as well as a new cardiac rehabilitation program. u We welcomed several new members to the WDMH team - a new Obstetrician/Gynecologist, Urologist, Social Worker, Cancer Care Navigator and Chief Research Officer. u Our telemedicine program is growing as we connect patients to specialists via video. The result is shorter wait times and less travel. Outpatient physiotherapy is also expanding, with a satellite clinic for specific groups of patients in Embrun. u The local baby boom continues with another record year! 761 babies were born at WDMH. u Our strong community partnerships – under The Centre of Excellence for Rural Health and Education umbrella –
continue to support coordinated services for patients in the hospital, residents in nursing homes, and clients of community services. Plans are underway to expand the Community Care Building for some of these important partners. u We welcomed new partners inside the hospital as well. Due to a reduction in Administration, we have additional space for Bayshore HealthCare to offer wound care and IV clinics. u WDMH is proud to be part of the regional Healthy Foods initiative, offering healthier options in the cafeteria, vending machines and Gift Shoppe. u A new Patient and Family Engagement Committee has been established to provide another way for patients to provide input.
The heart of WDMH
u Last year, our physicians and staff trained more than 250 students. Our Family Medicine Residency Program continues to be one of the most popular in the country. Upon graduation, many of these students turn their educational opportunity into a career at WDMH. u We received workplace awards from both the Ontario Hospital Association and the Eastern Ontario Health Unit, recognizing a commitment to health and wellness for the more than 600 staff, physicians and volunteers who work at WDMH. u Finally – and perhaps most importantly – we are proud of our strong patient satisfaction results. WDMH’s key patient areas were identified as among the top programs in Ontario. It’s great news that encourages us to strive to do even more.
If I had a million dollars – or $1,364,789 to be exact!
A recent post on WDMH’s Facebook page sums it up: “I was just at the hospital with my four young children. The volunteers at the front were so friendly and when they overheard that we had dropped a toy along the way, one of them got right up and went to find it. Thank you!”
Through the generosity of current and past donors, the WDMH Foundation transferred $1,364,789 to WDMH this past year. The money purchased 27 pieces of equipment and new technology, not funded by the provincial government.
On any given day, you will see some of the more than 200 WDMH volunteers making a difference at the hospital and in local communities. Last year, they provided close to 11,000 hours of service with a smile. And they give even more through their fundraising efforts. Their current goal is to raise $250,000 for a portable x-ray machine.
We can’t thank our donors enough. WDMH patients will now benefit from a specialized pill packaging machine, a CT Scanner upgrade, a gastroscope, two defibrillators and much, much more.
Despite this wonderful work, the need for more volunteers always exists, especially in leadership roles. The Auxiliary welcomes new members to help add that extra touch for WDMH patients. Call 613-774-2422 ext. 6323 for more information.

Old Town Treats goes extra mile for sweetness
KEMPTVILLE & NORTH GOWER RESIDENTS
Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
Everyone has a story to share and the owners of Old Town Treats in Kemptville look forward to hearing them all. “I used to be a paramedic – for over 13 years,” said Peter Sabourin, one of the new owners of Old Town Treats. “My wife (Shona Durocher) is still a paramedic. We decided we wanted to open a candy store / diner in Spencerville. We saw this opportunity come up and we took it. We wanted to see more smiling, happy faces. This is something that’s fun to do, compared to what I used to do. I love seeing the reaction on people’s faces when they walk in here.” Sabourin and Durocher took over ownership of the candy store in downtown Kemptville, now called ‘Old Town Treats,’ back in March. He explained the former owner, Samantha McLean, has been very helpful. The official grand opening, featuring a Kemptville Lions Club charity barbecue, took place on June 6. “One of the things that sold us on this place was the fudge,” said Sabourin. “It’s amazing. It’s made in-house, with real cream, real butter and dry ingredients from Calico Cottage. We took one bite and it was the best fudge we ever tasted. From that moment on, we knew this was the place for us.” He explained since taking over the store, they have expanded their fudge sales. “We wholesale fudge to local convenience stores now,” said Sabourin. “We plan on taking part in local festivals and community events as well, like the Kemptville Ribfest. We did the 1000 Islands Wine and Food Festival this past weekend and showcased our dark chocolate Guinness fudge and cabernet sauvignon fudge.” Old Town Treats features a soft serve ice cream machine, a variety of hard-to-find nostalgic candy, oversized ice cream cones, milk-

The official grand opening took place on June 6. shakes (from Butterfinger to cookies and cream), protein shakes, coffee, ice cream in a cup, sundaes, cold drinks (including mini coke bottles and Dad’s Root Beer), a large selection of UK and Dutch candy and a wide variety of fudge. “One of the newest additions to the store is the original Slush Puppie machine and Thelma’s Old Fashioned Lemonade machine,” said Sabourin. The store also offers pre-made (or customized) gift baskets, customized loot bags, candy bar setup for special events and a buildyour-own candy kabob station. “One of the first people to come in here was actually an adult who wanted to make a candy kabob,” said Sabourin. Some of the nostalgic candy available at the store includes Sugar Babies, Gold Mine Bubble Gum
Nuggets, Dots, Pez and Old Fashioned Candy Sticks. He said he and his wife want to have fun with every customer who comes through the door. “Harry Potter had those jelly beans with weird flavours, like smelly socks and baby wipes, and we carry the Jelly Belly - Bean Boozled, which is the same thing – just a bunch of gross flavours people have to try to guess,” said Sabourin. “It’s a challenge. So we have high school kids come in here and we challenge them to grab one of the jelly beans and whoever gets the grossest flavour gets a slice of fudge.” He explained a couple of high school girls came in one time and he dared them to eat flavoured crickets, which they did, so they got a piece of saltwater taffy each for their trouble.
He said the best part of owning a candy store is being able to have fun. “Everybody has a story and we want to hear them all,” said Sabourin. “Our biggest thing is customer service.” He said there is something in the shop for everyone. “People have come into the store and said they saw candy they haven’t seen since they were kids – some 25 years ago,” said Sabourin. Old Town Treats, located at 206 Prescott Street, is open Monday through Thursday, from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, call the store at (613)-258-4445.

Above, this beautiful 1968 Mustang GT, aka ‘Marilyn,’ features a 302, four barrel engine. The name stems from Terry Thompson’s (the owner) wife, Brenda, calling his previous Mustang, which was white, ‘Blondie’ after Marilyn Monroe. She explained his Mustang has always been the ‘other woman’ in his life. To the left, this 1979 Ford Econoline is the true definition of a party van. The shag carpets, full bed, kitchen and bar make it the travelling epitome of fun. Owner Chris Sherman explained it’s a mobile party on wheels.

This gorgeous 1930 Model A Ford, owned by Chubby Kelly, features a 350 small block and Corvette drive train. Kelly explained the rebuild was six years in the making. The car has been all over North America and even takes trips to the grocery store. The clip-on tray hanging from the window is reminiscent of when people used to go to A&W back in the 1960s and girls with roller skates would bring customers their food.

grape tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce and a tall raised box of herbs. Trevor has made wide paths through the garden so residents can wheel through the garden and just snack. The rest of the week has been punctuated with alternating rain and sunny, mid twenty temperatures. Our garden has just exploded. The two week setback of an unusually cold April rebounded in spades. We just can’t keep ahead of the grass or the weeds. I write this column 10 days in advance of publication. Today is June 14th and our potatoes are already two feet tall. Tonight we will have our first feed of Swiss Chard from the garden. Today I was back in to see Dad and it was a bad day. He was grumpy and loud and just plain rude. I guess when you’re 96 and have dementia you need folks to cut you a little slack. He’ll be different tomorrow. I did meet the sweetest lady while weeding the patio. Her name is Irene, she’s 86 years old, and mentally sharp as a tack. Her body betrayed her. She sat in her wheelchair and shared a brief history of her life. She told me how much she missed her garden and how much she appreciated our efforts. In one short week I’ve gone from kids that want to grow to kindred spirits that wish they could again. Cherish every week in your life. If you have any gardening questions, email me at gordknights3@gmail.com

Humans are lazy
y oldest son asked me where cereal comes from. I don’t shelter him at all – I answer all his questions truthfully (except for where babies come from) to the best of my ability because I know sugar coating life is not doing him any favours. I explained to him that all around the world are buildings known as factories, which are filled with big machinery that process ingredients and produce food, such as cereal, granola bars and French fries – anything in a package, basically. He looked up at me – seven-years-old and wise beyond his years – and stated simply ‘humans are lazy.’ I laughed and he laughed and it clicked in my mind that this kid knows stuff I can only dream of comprehending. I never thought of factories as a product of human laziness, but it’s true. We used to grow our own food and now machines mass produce things that resemble food in appearance, but aren’t really food at all. Lazy and cheap. He asked me where all the factories were in Canada and I told him most factories aren’t in Canada anymore because then company owners would have to pay workers decent wages, so a lot of factories were re-built overseas, in third world countries, where the workers are paid inadequately for the work they do. He looked at me again, all confused and said ‘that’s stupid.’ What a kid. Sometimes, the most complicated things in life can be summed up by a seven-yearold in a few desperately hilarious words.

I know and you know there are a lot of stupid things in life – inflation, some governments and war to name a few – but we forget kids have yet to witness the full brunt of human greed. I thought about explaining the evil nature of capitalism to him, but I figured I would save that for another day. Raising kids in modern times is difficult. When I grew up, there were no internet predators (because we didn’t have access to computers – shocking) or virtual bullying (no cell phones either – WOAH) or food out of a box (I’m sure there was some, but that was back when packaged goods cost more than real food like meat, cheese and milk.) How do you sit there and tell your beautiful, innocent child the world is a messed up place? Stories abound in the news every day about refugees (women and children) who are fleeing war zones being left out in the ocean to drown because no governments want to deal with the headache; close to a billion people starving every day, while we throw out perfectly good food because we don’t need it. It makes no sense. Tell me – how do you explain all that?

Take the time to appreciate nature this week, because we all know summer is fleeting in Canada.
While the Farmer’s away, the Farmwife has no time to play
W
ell, I played a little bit. There was a birthday party for a friend, and a night out on a patio with another friend. But mostly I worked while the Farmer was away on business this past week. From sun-up to sun-down. The cows pretty much take care of themselves, but I have to count them every night. Usually they make this pretty easy for me, walking single file on their diagonal beaten path up the meadow in the heat of the day and again at sunset. Sometimes, however, the calves huddle together and I can’t count them from the house so I have to pull boots on and go out there in the barnyard to count heads. I’m not sure what the plan is if one is missing. I guess I go out looking for it. Probably the biggest concern is feeding and watering the chicks – turkeys and chickens – who are safely hiding out in the stable. We lost ten turkey chicks the first week because they were in the barn and a raccoon got to them. Now Chelsea scares away anything that approaches, I’m quite sure. She paces back and forth like a sentry at her post beside the stable. I tend to them right af-

ter breakfast and again after I get home from my day job. One of the turkey chicks is feeling his wings and keeps fluttering up out of his pen. He doesn’t get farther than the chicken pen on the other side but every night I have to pick him up and put him back where he belongs. When the Farmer returns, he can clip his pin feathers or whatever it is he does to keep them on the ground. I’m getting a little tired of chasing this one around the pen. I got bitten the other day while feeding the chickens – not by the chicks, who regularly peck me – but by some kind of bug that I did not see to identify. It was itchier than a mosquito, so I went in search of antihistamine. Then I remembered I had fed all of the Benadryl
to the dog, at the advice of his vet. Cody at 16 years of age has suddenly developed some pretty severe allergies. He scratched his ears so much they got infected, so I had to give him antibiotic ear drops twice a day. This was a two-man job before the Farmer left. By day three, the dog was quite familiar with the routine, he knew what was coming and he was having nothing of it. Now it’s at least a three-man job. My insect bite turned into a circular rash that looked a bit too much like a bulls-eye for my liking, so I went to the doctor to get checked for lyme disease. I think she thought I was a bit of a hypochondriac, because I hadn’t been bitten by a tick. I guess I’ve been reading too many reports from the Health Unit on lyme disease and I don’t want to end up in bed for six months like Avril Lavigne. So I’m in charge of feeding the chickens, supervising the cows and cutting the grass this week while the Farmer is away on business. You would think that would be pretty simple. So far, the grass is giving me the biggest challenge of all my Farmwife tasks. #1: the riding
mower battery is dead. So I have to roll the riding mower out of the shed, line it up with my truck and try not to zap myself with the cables while boosting the battery. I have never done this before but I’ve seen it on TV. I’m pretty confident I can do it. #2: the Farmer suspects the mower may be out of fuel. I couldn’t lift the gas can in the shed and that’s a good thing because upon closer inspection I noted the word ‘diesel’ printed on the side. The Farmer says not to put diesel in the riding mower. This morning I put the proper gas can out in the driveway to remind
me to take it in to town to fill it up. Then I drove away without it. The Farmer has been gone six days and I have yet to succeed at cutting the grass. I’m pretty sure he’s going to come home, look at the meadow I have cultivated, and say, “you had one job, Farmwife. One job.” Next time I’m going with him on his business trip, and we can hire someone to cut the lawn, feed the chickens and count the cows. dianafisher@gmail.com theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com

this fall.” Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin inquired about the liability for the park, if the municipality does end up assuming responsibility down the road. “The deal would be we would assume operation costs and liability for the park,” said Symon. “It would be ours, like Riverside Park and Anniversary Park. We wouldn’t own it – it would still be owned by Canada
Post. If Canada Post needs to expand their downtown location down the road, then we would need to vacate the property.” Mayor David Gordon inquired whether Canada Post was willing to contribute any seed money for the project. “We haven’t gone into detail or discussed that yet,” said Symon. “It was quite an effort just to get them to say ‘yes, we can proceed.’”

Forbes Symon, Director of Planning and Development, said over the last couple of years, there has been a back and forth scenario between the BIA (Business Improvement Area), the municipality and Canada Post regarding the opportunity for the municipality to take over the Canada Post Park at the corner of Reuben Crescent and Prescott Street. “Right now, it’s a green space,” said Symon. “But the trees and brush are all overgrown.” He explained Don Muntz was commissioned to create a rendering (drawing) of what the Canada Post Park could be. “Less forest like than it is now,” said Symon. “The beautification of the park would cost in the area of $50,000.” He explained Canada Post has now given the green light on the project and municipal staff are ready to proceed. A recommendation was brought before COW, to recommend to Council to retain the services of an arborist – at a projected cost of $1,000 – to trim overgrown trees, and further that staff continue to negotiate with Canada Post regarding the revitalization of the park by the municipality. “We are hoping the cost to realize Don (Muntz’s) vision he prepared for us can be put in the 2016 budget deliberations,” said Symon. “We are hoping to start the process

Jamboree for Camp Trillium
ADVERTISEMENT
Burnout 101 for Caregivers The City of Ottawa’s Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee meets again Thursday, July 2nd at Ben Franklin Place. This month’s agenda includes a presentation on the 2015 International Plowing Match, to be held in Finch, ON; the commemorative naming of a new park in Carp after Don Rivington; Zoning By-Law amendments for 4845 Bank Street (Osgoode), 1848 Upper Dwyer Hill Road (West CarletonMarch), 1175 Manotick Station Road & 6247 Pebblewoods Drive (Osgoode), 2864 Diamondview Road (West Carleton-March), as well as part of 1121 Stagecoach Road and part of 1000 Vista Barrett Private (Osgoode). One final item comes from Councillor George Darouze and deals with septic system inspections that are required within source water protection plans. In smaller municipalities, the costs of these inspections are being paid for by the Province. However, the City of Ottawa is not eligible for any Provincial grants under this program. The motion from Councillor Darouze recommends that the City of Ottawa work with the Ottawa Septic System Office to develop a program to help offset the costs that would be incurred by private homeowners. This meeting will begin at 10:00am in the Chambers at Ben Franklin Place. The complete agenda, and all of the reports, can be found at Ottawa.ca. Household Hazardous Waste Depot The City will host a one-day Household Hazardous Waste Depot on Sunday, June 28th at the OC Transpo Park and Ride Station at 3355 Fallowfield Road. The depot will run from 8:00am until 4:00pm.

The 5th annual Kemptville Jamboree, in support of Camp Trillium – which caters to cancer patients – was held at a home off County Road 43 this past weekend. The event, which ran from June 19 to 21, featured a 50/50 draw, various other draws for donated items and a live auction conducted by Ken Finnerty. Entertainment was provided by ‘This Old Heart Country Comrades,’ the ‘Camp Fire Country Band’ and ‘Uncle George and Friends.’ The jamboree raises between $3,500 and $4,200 for Camp Trillium annually. The event hosts an average of 100 to 120 trailers and 60 or so walk-ins annually. Above, Arnold Williams (far left) created a wooden, guitar-wielding figure to present to Dennis Whitteker (second from right). Williams is part of ‘This Old Heart Country Comrades,’ which has helped raise over $95,000 for Camp Trillium to date, spanning back a decade, by taking part in various jamborees annually. Second from left is Dianna Finnerty and to the far right is Ken Finnerty, who brought the jamboree to Kemptville five years ago.
Household hazardous waste includes items such as: • aerosol containers • batteries (automotive/household) • propane cylinders • fluorescent bulbs/tubes • fire extinguishers • fertilizers and pesticides • needles and syringes • pharmaceuticals • paints and coatings • pool chemicals The City is committed to helping residents dispose of their waste in the safest and most environmentally friendly way and reminds residents that some of the waste in garages, basements and sheds is hazardous and cannot be safely left at the curb for pickup. Residents can safely dispose of many kinds of household hazardous waste by returning them to participating local retailers during regular business hours. For a list of retailers who accept returns of household hazardous waste, please visit ottawa.ca. Residents can drop off a maximum of 100 litres of household hazardous waste at no charge. Residential electronic waste is also accepted at this site. No commercial waste will be accepted. Wild Parsnip Management Every year, at this time, I promote awareness for wild parsnip. For those of you who aren’t familiar with this poisonous plant, wild parsnip is a noxious weed that is commonly found throughout the region in areas of uncultivated land, roadside ditches, nature trails, as well as residential properties. It is rarely found in regularly maintained urban environments; however, it is prominent in rural areas and suburban areas where grass cutting is not completed as frequently, and can then be spread to adjacent maintained areas such as parks, pathways, and, in some cases, private property. Wild parsnip poses some health and environmental threats including:
Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND
The band ‘Uncle George and Friends’ delights jamboree attendees, who were quick to jump on the dance floor when the music started up.
• Toxic sap found in wild parsnip leaves, stems and flowers can cause severe skin rashes and blisters when it comes in contact with the skin in the presence of sunlight. Sap can present both direct and indirect health risks as clothing, and equipment can remain sources of exposure. • Wild parsnip’s ability to rapidly regenerate reduces native plants’ abilities to compete for space, which in turn reduces biodiversity. • Incidences of wild parsnip pose potential negative impacts to residents and field operations staff alike as it continues to spread year over year. In past years, we’ve only focused on cutting areas where wild parsnip grows as a means of managing the invasive species. However, I am happy to report that, this year, the Public Works Department will implement a Wild Parsnip Strategy to test the effectiveness of various methods to control and reduce wild parsnip on City property. My focus, in recent years, has been on education and awareness. The more people who know what wild parsnip is, the less likely residents will have a negative experience. After working with staff, and consulting with neighbouring municipalities as well as the Ministry of the Environment, toward a management plan, I am very pleased that we are taking a more aggressive approach in dealing with this noxious weed. For more information about wild parsnip, please visit rideaugoulbourn.ca/wildparsnip If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-580-2491.

Here’s a possible Trivial Pursuit question, “What’s the fastest growing unpaid profession in North America?” I admit I wouldn’t have known the answer. But, according to the “Family Caregiver Alliance”, more than 65.7 million Americans, that’s 29 percent of the population, provide care to a family member, loved one or friend who is ill disabled or aged. But when does such labour of love trigger burnout anger in the caregiver? Dr. Gifford-Jones A report from Johns Hopkins University states, “The average unpaid, or informal, caregiver is a 46 year old female with a full or part-time job who spends about 20 hours a week catering for her mother”. But for those caring for a loved one older than 65 the average age is 63. Unfortunately, one-third of these caregivers are also in poor health. Another study carried out in Sweden revealed the shocking news that 18 percent of people older than 75 were involved in the care of others! For these elderly caregivers this isn’t what they expected to be doing in their golden years. I’m sure while they’re carrying out these arduous daily tasks they must share the thought of the German philosopher Nietzsche who remarked, “There is no greater misery than to remember happier times”. The problem with an aging population is that they suffer from a variety of problems. For instance, a Gallup survey revealed that 15 million North Americans are caring for someone incapacitated by some form of dementia, such as Alzheimer’s disease. Millions of others are helping family members suffering from cancer, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease or incapacitated by severe unrelenting arthritic pain. Sooner or later the demands of time and energy made on some caregivers triggers a reaction, similar to the last straw that finally breaks the camel’s back. This crisis occurs when they have neglected their own health for too long. Caring for others is also a dangerous job. For example, in one study caregivers, age 66 and over, had a 63 percent higher mortality rate than non- caregivers of the same age. The physical task facing caregivers can be overwhelming. But according to experts it’s the mental toll that is more likely to bring caregivers to their knees. They suffer from loneliness, anxiety, fear of the future, depression and at times anger at the person they’re caring for. It’s small wonder that they require more anti-depressants and anti-anxiety drugs than the general population. So how can caregivers cope with physical and mental stress day after day? First, it’s vital that they don’t put their own health at the bottom of the list. This is a sure formula for Burnout 101. Family members must keep a wary eye on the caregiver and realize there’s a crisis in the making if they notice them reaching for alcohol, having difficulty concentrating, suffering from insomnia or having thoughts of suicide. This is a time when other family members must share the burden. Caregivers who remain silent and uncomplaining are quicker to suffer burnout. It’s important for them to “let it out” with a family member, friend, clergy or a counselor. It’s also prudent for them to get some form of exercise daily. And to find time during the day for something they enjoy, whether it be reading a book or watching a movie. Caregivers must be ready for emergencies. This means trying to plan ahead for the dangers that could occur in the community. For example, you may live in an area that is prone to sudden snow storms. What will happen at subzero temperatures if electrical power shuts down for days? Others who reside in tornado regions need to plan an escape route and how to handle someone in a wheelchair. Moreover, even with a plan of action, you won’t get far if the car hasn’t an ample supply of gas. Care giving involves so much work and stress it’s no wonder the handler suffers Burnout 101. The bad news is this problem is going to get worse with an aging population. So far I’ve been lucky that I or family members have not had to face this added stress, another factor that may have added to my longevity! R0013339894_0625
St. Mike’s student awarded full tuition scholarship to St. Thomas University Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
Brianna Workman, a Grade 12 student at St. Michael Catholic High School, hopes to take the journalism world by storm in the future. “I am not the type of person who can sit still,” said Workman. “With journalism, you’re never bored. There’s always something going on.” She said she definitely wants to travel – perhaps do correspondence work. She wants to pursue journalism because you get to experience something new every day. She will be heading to St. Thomas University in Fredericton, N.B., this fall to study Communications and Public Policy. “I looked at Ottawa University and Carleton University, but St. Thomas was my first choice,” said Workman. “I thought I was going to have to stay close to home, but the scholarship changed all that.” “Eventually, I’d like to do a Masters in journalism,” said Workman. “I love to write.”

Brianna Workman, Grade 12 student at St. Michael Catholic High School, enjoys writing. She was awarded the President’s Scholarship, which covers tuition costs. “They gave it to me in person, when I did my campus tour back in March,” said Workman. “My mom and I were both crying. It’s based on leadership and academic excellence.” She’s done a lot of public speaking. “It’s something I’ve been good at
since I was little,” said Workman. She’s lived in Kemptville all her life and is now preparing to venture out into the world on her own. “It’s a small town; you know everyone,” said Workman. “I’m sad to be leaving.” She plays basketball, rugby and also dances. “There’s a dance program here and I took it for an art credit,” said Workman. “I ended up falling in love with dance. I’m on a competitive team too.” She explained her favourite style of dance is contemporary lyrical. “It’s slower – tells a story,” said Workman. “I also do ballet, jazz and modern.”She is also student council president and the school’s student trustee for the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario. “With the board, I’ve learned a lot about policy, which sparked an interest in public policy,” said Workman. “Dealing with things like the potential (teachers) strike, it really got me interested in current events.”She explained she got to sit in on every board meeting – every two weeks – to offer a student voice to
board decisions. “I gave reports on what the students at St. Mike’s were up to,” said Workman, adding she wants to get involved in house committees and the student government at university in the fall. “They also do Relay for Life, which I’d like to get involved in,” said Workman. She said her final year has been crazy busy. “I also work at Bayfield Manor and Albert’s Meat Shop,” said Workman. “I began working at Bayfield for community service hours and I just loved it. And my bosses at Albert’s are the best people to work for.” She said she loves being busy, which is why journalism is a good fit for her. “My parents said I should give something up, but I didn’t want give anything up. I am really lucky for all the amazing opportunities I’ve had in high school.” She attended the first ever Canadian Educators Conference on Mental Health, which was held in Ottawa this year. “I got to speak about student leadership, mental health and the stigma surrounding it,” said Workman. She explained the CDSBEO is lead-
ing the charge in student resilience. “We made it such a big focus,” said Workman. She said her favourite subjects in high school were English, dance and writers craft. “I’ve never really been into math and science,” said Workman. “I’m good at it; I got the marks, but I don’t enjoy it.” She said she was always that kid in school with her head in a book. “I love reading,” said Workman. “I write my own stuff too. Mostly poetry.” She enjoys reading all different types of books. “It’s the same with music; I like everything,” said Workman. She said one of her role models is St. Mike’s teacher Mary-Kate Bridson. “She’s an amazing person. She worked with me on student council and went with us to Europe last year. She’s just very inspirational.” Her last full day of school was June 17. “It’s pretty bittersweet,” said Workman. “I’m sad to be leaving. I’m not sure it will really hit me until graduation. But I’m also excited for what the future will bring.”

IN MEMORIAM
SMITH, CAMERON, ARMSTRONG, BRAY Love is a miracle, sweet as can be, That will always remain a complete mystery. For though it is something that’s centuries old, It cannot be purchased for silver or gold. But instead must be given of one’s own free will. And received with no promises it must fulfil. And once it’s exchanged in this time-honoured way. There’s nothing that love cannot manage to say. No problems too great and no problems too small, For love, like a miracle, conquers them all. And leaves in their place such a feeling of peace, That joy, just like love, cannot help but increase! GOD IS LOVE!!!
In loving memory of my dad, Douglas Smith and mom Betty Smith (step dad Mel Bowes), 4 brothers Monty, Wesley, David and Brian and my loving husbands, Ken, Bill and John. My heart holds you dearly. Linda Poirier

YUILL, Jenny – In loving memory of a loving daughter, sister and aunt, who passed away June 29, 1997. Jenny you left us quietly, Your thoughts unknown, But you left us a memory, We are proud to town. As we look upon your picture, Sweet memories we recall, Of a face so full of sunshine, And a smile for one and all. Though your smile has gone forever, And your hand we cannot touch, We shall never lose our memories, Of the one we loved so much. Forever in our hearts, Love Dad, Mom, Shawn Tamara, Wayne, Megan and Joe
GUTKNECHT, Eric Leslie William June 25, 2010 of Kemptville. We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, and the day before that, too. We think of you in silence, we often say your name, But all we have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, with which we’ll never part. God has you in His keeping, we have you in our heart. We shed tears for what might have been, a million times we’ve cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still, In our heart you hold a place, no one could ever fill. It broke our heart to lose you, but you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, the day God took you Home. Mom and Dad
Miss you Brian/Dad/Poppa They say there is a reason They say that time will heal But neither time nor reason Will change the way we feel For no-one knows the heartache That lies behind our smiles No-one knows how many times We have broken down and cried We want to tell you something So there won’t be any doubt You’re so wonderful to think of But so hard to be without. Always in our hearts Love Carol, Kim, John, Rick Katelyn, Sarah, Adam and Tyler Brian.

Helping people is what Lindsay Pinch, Grade 12 student at North Grenville District High School, hopes to dedicate her life to. She has spent the last four years heavily involved in charity work and student government. In Grade 10, Pinch was the Junior Prime Minister. Then, in Grade 12, she became the Deputy Prime Minister. “I love being spirited at school,” said Pinch. “It keeps things fun. I love working with a group, like the student government.” She organized spirit assemblies, spirit weeks and days. She was also involved in fundraising for the United Way. “This year, we raised $1,000 for the United Way.” She also helped organized this year’s KNOGA and the first ever Oscar Night. “It was a fun way to end the year,” said Pinch. “There were a lot of fun awards, like best knitter, most likely to make goat’s milk soap and who wears camo the most.” She is also involved with Sarah’s

“It was really cool.” This year, she took Grade 9 students under her wing – taking part in the Link program, which partners Grade 12 students with younger ones, to ease the transition to high school. “I am really big into leadership,” said Pinch. She received an entrance scholarship to Ottawa U, a French bursary and the Future Aces Scholarship. Aside from academic interests and social issues, Pinch enjoys taking pictures. “I took a photography class this year, which was a lot of fun,” said Pinch. “I’ve always enjoyed scrapbooking; school stuff, social things and swimming. It’s cool to look back.” She said she was going to miss all the students and teachers at NGDHS. “Especially Mrs. Murdock, Mrs. Island, Mrs. Ryan and Mr. Stover,” said Pinch. “I have a good connection with all of them. I’ll miss all my teachers.” She said coming to NGDHS every day was fun. “Everyone here is really nice and very accepting,” said Pinch, the recently crowned prom queen.

Before buying an air conditioning unit or system, find out its energyefficiency ratio (EER). Calculate the EER by dividing the unit’s cooling capacity (BTUs/hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair. Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs.

Computer R0013337363/0625

KWBSC hosts largest little league tournament in Canada Dan Piche
The largest Little League tournament in Canada began last weekend and continues again this weekend at Kemptville’s Riverside and South Gower Parks. In 2012 when KWBSC (formerly KDLL) started this tournament 21 teams came to play. This year, 44 All-Star Baseball Teams from across Ontario, Quebec and New
York State are here to battle for the title of the Wildcat Shootout Championship. This past weekend had the U10 and U12 (9 to 12 year olds) playing. Starting Friday June 26 teams from the Intermediate, Junior and Senior Divisions will do battle. With over 44 teams participating, this represents over 550 players and their respective families. This has a positive economic impact
in our community, as many of these families will be spending their down time (and money!) in restaurants, stores and other establishments in our area. The kids that are coming to Kemptville are some of the best ball players around and the games are always well played and entertaining. If you have a moment, please come out and cheer on the Kemptville Wildcats.
Fourth Highway 43 Memorial Ride goes July 11 Submitted
The Canadian Army Veterans (CAV) – Sicily Motorcycle Unit will be holding the 4th annual Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry (SD&G) Highway 43 Memorial Ride on July 11, 2015. The ride will honour our Veterans, and in collaboration with The Royal Canadian Legion – Ontario Command, will raise funds for Operation: Leave the Streets Behind for the ‘Homeless Veterans Assistance Fund’. The fund
provides financial assistance for Ontario Veterans to obtain housing, furniture, food and medical care during their time of need. All riders are welcome to the ride and the $20 registration per rider and $10 per passenger includes the poker run and complimentary snacks along the route. Breakfast and the dinner at the end of the ride are provided by the Royal Canadian Legion Branches for a minimal fee. The ride starts at The Royal Canadian Legion Branch in Iro-
quois from Highway 2 to Merrickville and then follows the Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry Highway 43 to Alexandria, stopping at several Royal Canadian Legion Branches for presentations. It concludes at The Royal Canadian Legion Branch in Morrisburg, with dinner, announcement of the poker run prizes and distribution of door prizes. Breakfast and registration starts at 8:00 a.m. and kickstands up at 9:30 a.m. Last year, a total of $15,255 was raised.

into sixth place,” said Kiesekamp. “My last jump was a personal best of 11.09 metres (her personal best prior to OFSAA was 10.83 meters), which pushed me into third place.” She explained she put everything she had into her final jump in an attempt to get back up to where she was in the rankings.
“I wanted to give it my all,” said Kiesekamp. “It was my last jump of the season.” She came back to look at the measurement, saw it was over 11 metres and began shaking with excitement. “I knew that jump would put me back to where I wanted to be,” said Kiesekamp.

Emma Kiesekamp is a true athlete. The Grade 10 student at North Grenville District High School took home the first OFSAA (Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations) medal in recent memory, placing third in triple jump on June 5. “It’s the first one I can remember,” said Mike Hoy, long-time coach and teacher at NGDHS.
He explained Kiesekamp’s hard work is what has led her down a path of athletic success. “She’s a great athlete and she works very hard,” said Hoy. The OFSAA Track and Field Championships 2015 were held at Varsity Stadium in Toronto. She competed in long jump on June 4, placing 18th in the province. The following day, she competed in triple jump. “I was in fourth place and then after the first two jumps, I was pushed back
She explained long jump and triple jump, as well as most athletic competitions, appeal to her because she enjoys the challenge. “I like pushing myself,” she said. “I like knowing how far I can jump and trying to do better every time I jump. It’s fun.” See BRONZE page K22

She began competing in long jump and triple jump in Grade 8. “I used to do it when I was really young, but I stopped and took it back up again when I came here (NGDHS),” said Kiesekamp. She said she made lots of new friends over the course of the track and field season, including at OFSAA. “There were lots of people there – 24 or 25 people for each event – so I got to meet lots of new people, which was cool.” Lots of practice She explained she practices every school night she can, to improve her athletic performance. “I also play basketball with the school and competitively, volleyball and badminton,” said Kiesekamp. She explained her coach at NGDHS helps her to reach her

goals. “Mr. Hoy is awesome. He’s always pushing me to do more.” Kiesekamp, who tops six feet at the age of 15, said she enjoys being active and competing, which is why she loves being an athlete. “I just love being active and I’m a really competitive person, so I love that aspect of sports. She said she may pursue athletic ventures in the future, but for now, she will continue to go with the flow. Aside from athletic interests, Kiesekamp loves to draw and used to ride horses. Supportive team She said the track and field team at NGDHS is very supportive. “We all cheer each other on,” said Kiesekamp. She said standing on the OFSAA podium to accept her bronze
medal was nerve wracking. “All three of us up there were kind of nervous,” she recalled. “As we were waiting to go up on the podium, the camera was on us for what felt like five minutes – projected on the big screen.” Her OFSAA medal is now at home, hanging up above her bed. “It’s good motivation,” said Kiesekamp. Goal to return She said her goal is to make to OFSAA again next year. “And maybe get a new personal best.” NGDHS had two students travel to OFSAA this year; Kiesekamp and Cailan Loebel. The latter is a Grade 9 student who competed in the midget boys 3000 metres event. He ran a personal best of 9:35 to finish in 12th place in the province.

Can a lottery winner also win back the love of his life? A small Canadian prairie town, a little booze, a “house of ill repute”, a winning Irish Sweepstakes ticket, and the post-war optimism of the late 1940s. These are just some of the elements that make Yesteryear a compelling romantic comedy, premiering this Thursday, June 25, at the Studio Theatre in Perth. Joanna McClelland Glass’ comedy/love story Yesteryear takes place in 1948 in Raglan, Saskatchewan, where painter David McTavish has been living since his fiancée, Mildred Douglas, cheated on him the night before their wedding. Fifteen years later, David still longs for Mildred; even the news that he’s won $120,000 (a fortune in 1948) in the Irish Sweepstakes can’t keep him from pining for his lost love of yesteryear. This is a beautifully written, warm-hearted and very funny story that harkens back to a gentler time, in a classic Canadian setting. The actors who have lovingly embraced their roles in this wonderful Prairie story are some of Perth’s finest – and favourite – stage players. Director Norma Cummings’ stellar cast includes David Parry, Lucas Tennant, Joanna McAuley Treffers, Norman Macdonnell, Grey Masson, Alison Kirkpatrick, Krista Duff,

Martin Treffers, Bernie Oldendorp, and Damien Rice-Laprise. Clearly, the acting will be every bit as sharp as the writing. Yesteryear is the first of two delightful comedies coming to the Studio Theatre this summer. It premieres June 25 with performances, June 25, 26, 27, July 3 and July 4 at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees June 28 and July 5 at 2 p.m. The second comedy, The Cemetery Club, premieres Aug. 13 and you can see both shows for the special two-show price of just $40. Tickets are $22 per show – or $40
for both – at The Book Nook (cash only) 60 Gore Street E., and at Shadowfax, 67 Foster St. 613-267-6817, (on-line at shadowfax.on.ca, phone & credit cards; a convenience fee applies). Tickets are $24 at the door, and $10 for students with ID. Treat yourself to a little Prairie humour with Yesteryear, premiering now at the air conditioned, fully accessible Studio Theatre, where community spirit and dedicated volunteers make great things happen. We’ll see you at the theatre! Submitted by the Studio Theatre.

Laws and enforcement don’t always provide improvement in safety Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
making the procedure as effortless and quick as putting on a seat belt. They feel that a substantial segment of the auto buying public would gladly pay for this option and view it as essential as air bags and anti-lock brakes. The biggest push back to increased rules and regulations is from the position that good and law-abiding drivers shouldn’t have to pay with increased inconvenience(s) caused by the misdeeds of the minority. But if independent businesses are willing to come up with solutions that can be engaged on a voluntary basis, what’s the gripe? Interestingly enough, if there’s a market for blood-alcohol detection systems, which would prevent inebriated drivers from starting a vehicle, why isn’t there demand for a system that would prevent drivers from
texting or using their cell-phone? After all, distracted driving related injuries and deaths are now surpassing DUI statistics in most jurisdictions. And rather than automakers looking for partners to offer this type of feature, they are constantly adding more software and connectivity for smart-phones and tablets and thereby more distractions than ever. Would you be interested in either of these features if they were available at reasonable costs? One of the most interesting and innovative safety features I’ve come across recently was from Brazil. There is a lot of large commercial truck traffic travelling on winding and hilly two-lane roads. As you might suspect they have more than their fair share of collisions resulting from drivers trying to pass these trucks without sufficient vision for oncoming traffic. They have been experimenting with a new safety feature on these vehicles. The rear cargo door of the trailer is equipped with a large video screen and the camera that supplies the image is mounted on the front of the cab. When a vehicle approaches from the rear the screen automatically comes to life and reveals a real-time view of the road
Latest Pixar film shows life inside a child’s mind a real mix of emotions MOVIE: Inside Out STARRING: Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Bill Hader, Lewis Black, Mindy Kaling, Richard Kind, Kaitlyn Dias, Diane Lang and Kyle MacLachlan DIRECTORS: Peter Docter and Ronaldo Del Carmen RATING: G The idea of watching the anthropomorphized parts of a character’s brain is not new. Though I can’t think of anyone who has done it as well as it has been done in Inside Out. The character in question is an eleven-year-old girl named Riley (Kaitlyn Dias). She loves her family, loves her friends, and loves playing hockey. Then her family has to move from Minnesota to San Francisco, and things for Riley start to change. She goes from a happy outgoing girl to an angry upset girl. Inside Riley’s head are her emotions. There’s Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Fear (Bill Hader). They work in central command to keep everything inside Riley’s head running smoothly. That is until Sadness touches a core memory and turns it sad. Riley’s core

memories are what make Riley who she is. Joy panics and tries to fix it, but it only causes her and Sadness to be sucked away to long-term memory. This leaves Anger, Disgust, and Fear in charge of central command. Meanwhile Joy and Sadness have to find their way back to central command, otherwise Riley will never be able to feel happiness or sadness again. Inside Out is a character-driven comedy that, not ironically, relies heavily on emotion. There are moments of slapstick, and there’s the whimsy of how the workings of the mind are imagined, but on the whole it comes down to the interactions between the characters. This is about Riley adjusting to her new home. This is about Joy discovering that Riley needs all her emotions. This is about Sadness learning how important she is. Inside Out is the kind of film that mostly makes you laugh, but also makes you cry, and strives to give you that warm fuzzy feeling. With Pixar films we almost take it for granted that animation will be
good. In Inside Out it’s a little different because the animation style inside Riley’s mind is different from the style outside. Outside is more realistic though still very much a cartoon while inside is an imaginative interpretation of neuroscience. Though different the two together fit the film beautifully. As good as the animation is the cast giving their voices to these characters are phenomenal. Actors like Kyle MacLachlan and Diane Lang are wonderful as Riley’s parents. Riley herself is captured perfectly by Kaitlyn Dias. Richard Kind delivers an incredible performance as the voice of Riley’s imaginary friend Bing Bong. Bill Hader as Fear, Mindy Kaling as Disgust and especially Lewis Black as Anger are brilliant. Amy Poehler and Phyllis Smith are fantastic as Joy and Sadness. There just isn’t anyone else who could be these voices. They are funny, they are heartfelt, and together they are magic. Inside Out is a wonderfully funny and touching film.

Every time there’s a collision with tragic results, there’s often an accompanying cry for more legislation and more rules and more road safety measures to try to prevent senseless injuries and loss of life. But laws and enforcement don’t always provide an improvement in safety. Take for example, our current distracted driving rules. Texting and cell phone-engaged drivers have reached the top of the gripe list surpassing tailgating and aggressive driving. Yet we have some of the most stringent and punitive rules on the books for this type of transgression. Now there’s a group of automotive electronics producers working on a blood-alcohol detection system that they’re proposing as an optional safety feature for all vehicles. Rather than the blow-and-wait breathalyzer systems that convicted DUI drivers must use, this technology would passively sample the breath of a driver via headliner mounted sensors, or take a biometric reading by means of a specially coated starter push-button. The designers and engineers feel that they could effectively collect and process these samples in a matter of seconds,
Summer comedy scores with audiences at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre BarnDoor Productions’ 101st show has scored with audiences on its opening weekend at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre. “Lots of great laughs,” said one patron. “The two of them work so well together,” said another. “The two of them” are BarnDoor Productions’ producing directors David and Janice Jacklin, who are taking the stage together for the first time since 1992 in Assisted Living, a two-person, four-character comedy by Winnie Holzman (author of the musical Wicked) and Hollywood character actor Paul Dooley. Holzman and Dooley, married themselves, debuted the show in 2013 to rave reviews, and the Jacklins are carrying on the tradition of strong performances in this “charming comedy”, as another opening weekend patron described it. Assisted Living is the story of two pairs of characters: an aging soap opera star and his live-in makeup artist, who are facing a crisis both on-screen and in real life; and an ardent soap opera fan facing problems in her own life, including dealing her aged father. The two stories each have their own extended scene in the first act, before being brought together in the second act. We also get a chance to hear some snippets of the fictional soap opera in question, the long-running Search For Our Lives, and we gain some sympathy for the actors who have to make drama from drivel on a daily basis. Frank Maxwell, David Jacklin’s first character in the play, has been playing Doctor Dan

His character has been relegated to a straight-jacket in a padded call, which he sees as an attempt by his co-star to ease him out of the show. His live-in girlfriend, Emily (played by Janice Jacklin), has only a limited amount of patience with his childishness and paranoia. Pointing to a huge pile of fan letters, she says “Just think what these letters represent!” “A waste of paper” he replies. “You couldn’t be more wrong and I’ll
show you,” she says, opening a letter at random. “This one’s is in crayon.” With tensions between Frank and Emily at a breaking point, the audience get to listen to a scene from the latest installment of Search For Our Lives, while the scene, and the actors, change. The second scene centres on Heather (Janice), a Search For Our Lives fan whose letter Frank reads in the first scene, as she deals with her failing father (simply called Dad) and her own physical and emotional troubles. The transformation the two performers achieve in the short
interval between the scenes is remarkable, and the characters in the second scene are completely different from the first. “Oh, a wheelchair!” says Heather. “Now we can go for a walk.” “Okay”, says Dad, “but I’m not strong enough to push you.” “You haven’t mentioned the weight I’ve lost,” she says. “Lost? Or re-arranged?” is the comeback. Just when it looks like the two will never come together, they find unexpected common ground in Search For Our Lives. The second act brings Frank and Heather together, a year later, after the soap opera has been cancelled. Frank is out of work and trying to contact his daughter, who won’t return his calls. A transformed Heather comes to his door, to deliver a fan-written script she and her father had written. She tells Frank that his reply to her fan letter has changed her life and put her on a new track, then apologizes for intruding on his busy life. “I’m not busy,” he says, “I’m…what’s the opposite of busy?” Through Heather’s fan script and her enthusiasm, Frank slowly begins to find some ground for a transformation of his own. This “charming play” ends just like that: charmingly, as both Frank and Heather find new purpose. After a special 20th anniversary winter season of some intense drama, including the Pulitzer Prize winning plays
August: Osage County and Death of a Salesman, BarnDoor Productions has turned to some deliberately light fare for the summer season. Assisted Living is a funny, light comedy with just enough thought to make it memorable and enough laughs to make it worth a couple of hours time. It doesn’t pretend to be great drama, but it is entertaining and diverting and it offers its two-person cast, who together number about 75 years of every aspect of theatre experience, a chance to stretch out with diverse characters and a real acting challenge. The final piece of the picture is that Assisted Living was mounted with directorial assistance from a young man still in theatre school, but who is appearing all summer long with Perth’s Classic Theatre Festival this year. Sean Jacklin was just two-years old the last time his parents appeared together on stage, but his directorial eye has helped shape Assisted Living for them, making the show a real family effort. Assisted Living concludes its run this week, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 1:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 reserved, $22 at the door and can be reserved by calling 613-2671884. No credit cards are needed; cash at the performance is requested. Students are just $10. The performances are at the air-conditioned, barrier-free Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street, Perth, near Last Duel Park. Submitted by BarnDoor Productions

Ross Murphy’s 1935 Ford Deluxe coupe (above). Left: Young couples loved the rumble seat because it gave them some privacy from the folks inside the car, especially after dark!

From Newfoundland to Ontario Ross Murphy writes from Port Dover, Ontario: “Hi, Bill. I grew up in Port Dover and summer weekends in the ’50s attracted many street rods that went cruising along the beach area. The Summer Garden dance hall was bustling with excitement with Ronnie Hawkins as a main event, and a great time to be a teenager! That’s when my addiction to old cars began and continues today. “At 17, I bought my first car, a 1956 Meteor convertible from a friend. I installed an Edmund intake manifold with three Stromberg 97’s and progressive linkage on the 292 cubic inch power plant, which didn’t help the horsepower much but sure drew attention at the gas station when they checked my oil. I built and rebuilt several street rods through to the ‘90s. “Last June, I purchased my 1935 Ford Deluxe coupe from a man who owned a fish processing plant near Corner Brook, Newfoundland. The car originated in
California and the former owner did a meticulous frame-off restoration. All bright work was sent to Cambridge Custom Chrome for plating and buffing. The engine and transmission were sent to The Guild of Auto Restorers in Bradford, Ontario, for rebuild. In addition, a custom Lebaron Bonney interior kit was installed. The Dupont “Autumn Red” paint was applied by Budd’s Auto Body in Newfoundland. “It’s a fun nostalgic driver that makes for good conversation at all the car shows. And here’s an interesting item passed onto me by a classic car dealer when the car passed through his hands. My ’35 Ford was in a movie called ‘Sea Biscuit’ starring Jeff Bridges. I have yet to see the film but this info was passed on to me.”
Ross’s 1935 Ford coupe has a flathead V8 engine with 221 cubic inches cranking out 92 horsepower at 3900 rpm. Two series were available: Standard and Deluxe for a total of thirteen variations with Windsor factory list prices ranging from $645 for the 2-passenger business coupe up to $830 for the 5-passenger Deluxe Touring Fordor Sedan with built-in trunk. The Canadian version of Ross Murphy’s 1935 Ford 4-passenger Deluxe coupe with rumble seat had a list price of $750. Slightly less in the U.S. and worth far more today! 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.”

Wedding favour ideas for your guests Your guests have honoured you with their presence and it’s now time to thank them. Ideally, your wedding favours will include the names of the bride and groom and the date you exchanged your vows. Here is a selection of ideas to give your wedding the perfect finishing touch. GOURMET FAVOURS Chocolates, sugared almonds, or other treats will delight those with a sweet tooth. You can personalize your assortments by adding your initials or an illustration that represents you both. For a winter wedding, a hot chocolate mix is a comforting gift that your guests can enjoy to their heart’s content. FAVOURS FROM MOTHER NATURE Nature lovers, this gift is for you: a pretty box filled with potting soil and some tiny succulents so your guests will leave with some genuine greenery. Or, opt for seeds to symbolize the beginning of your new life
together. SCENTED FAVOURS Scented candles are perfect for most weddings, as they’re available in all shapes and colours. You could also consider giving bath salts or shell-shaped soaps for a nautical theme, or rose potpourris for a vintage wedding. DECORATIVE FAVOURS A magnet for the fridge, coasters, photos, or snow globes: think traditional souvenir trinkets. They’ll feature a photo of you both that your guests will treasure. LUXURY FAVOURS Be warned, small budgets should steer clear of this suggestion. Some brides and grooms go all out in order to impress their guests; if that’s you, why not offer a box of cigars, a small item of jewellery, or a bottle of good wine. This is especially suitable for smaller weddings. PHOTO: Buccina studios / THINKSTOCK
Don’t let your guests leave without a little favour to thank them for joining you.

free to invite only certain guests to the party following the ceremony; specify the theme, dress code, location, and menu choices) IT’S A GO! Send one invitation per address, whether it’s to a single person, couple, or family. Invitations should be mailed at least three months before the big day. If you’re inviting your guests to join you abroad for your wedding, or if some of your guests live outside the country, try to send your invitations as early as eight months in advance. Keep a few spare invitations, just in case. NEED SOME INSPIRATION? When it comes to invitation design, it isn’t always easy to transform your ideas into reality. You can turn to websites or wedding magazines for help. If you’re not very artistic, choose a template or hire a graphic designer to create a unique wedding invitation.
An invitation styled according to your wedding theme will give your guests a hint of what’s to come.
Creating atmosphere is the secret to your reception What makes one wedding more fun than another? There’s no need to look far: the secret is in the atmosphere. Here are some tips on how to organize a memorable wedding reception. THE THEME Begin by choosing the theme that will be the foundation of the wedding.

fun at your own wedding. You’ll both be able to circulate amongst your guests, and there won’t be any uncomfortable lulls. A good DJ is a facilitator who can adapt to the age and tastes of the guests and keep the momentum going. Just be sure that anyone you hire can entertain according to your theme. SOME IDEAS FOR SURPRISING YOUR GUESTS • Plan a unique arrival at the reception. • Set up a photo booth with wacky accessories. • Provide a guest book that can be a decorative item in your home after the reception. • Work out a dance routine to perform together or with your wedding party. • Have a karaoke machine for later on, at the reception. • Release disposable lanterns into the sky when it gets dark, or plan some fireworks. • Hire a magician, a croupier with casino tables, or a caricaturist to entertain your guests. • Serve custom cocktails, poured by a professional flair bartender who can juggle bottles and do some spectacular bartending tricks.

Coordinated outfits for the bride and groom One thing is certain about your wedding: the bride and groom are going to be the centre of attention all day long. So be sure to think colour and style coordination when making your fashion choices. THE BRIDE On your big day all eyes will be on you. Even though the pure white wedding dress remains a classic, many brides break with tradition by opting for a more colourful outfit. No matter what your preference, be sure to choose a dress that enhances your figure and is comfortable to wear. THE GROOM Even though the groom isn’t supposed to see the dress before the ceremony, he should at least know its colour so that your out-
fits are somewhat harmonized. A light or a dark suit goes well with a white dress, while a light-toned suit (yellow or ivory) is suitable alongside a dark dress. Whatever the case, choose a suit made of top quality material, such as lin-
en, wool, or raw silk. ACCESSORIES Accessories add the finishing touch to both your outfits. For the bride: choose a veil (or head accessory), jewellery, shoes, and a bouquet that enhance your dress. Don’t forget to have something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. For the groom: choose between a tie, cravat, or bow tie. And to look like a perfect gentleman, dare to wear a hat, vest, cufflinks, and pocket square. You can leave out the matching cummerbund, though; alas, they belong to another time. And don’t forget, the bridal party’s suits and dresses should harmonize with the bride and groom’s outfits.
you want when it’s your wedding. So the aim is to find a unique way to arrive that reflects your personalities and the theme of the festivities. Here are a few suggestions. • For a waterfront reception, arrive on a boat to cause a real sensation. • You prefer to stay on terra firma? Join your guests on two wheels, making your appearance on a motorcycle or scooter. • You like a bit more comfort? Show up in a classy limousine, race car, or vintage car.

who plan to invite guests via email or online invitations can skirt the cost of postage. But many couples still prefer traditional paper invitations, which include return envelopes that tradition suggests should also be stamped. Save-the-date cards have grown in popularity as well, and these cards must also be stamped and mailed. Depending on the size of your guest list, postage can cost several hundred dollars before you mail your last invitation. And don’t forget to save some money for postage to mail thank-you cards once the big day has come and gone. • Overtime: Overtime fees for reception hall staff and additional outside vendors are typically written into contracts, but few couples imagine needing more than the predetermined allotment of time noted in their contracts. But it’s better to be safe than sorry, as unanticipated events such as a misplaced wedding license or heavy traffic on the way to the venue can force the party to start late and thus extend past its deadline. Set aside some money for overtime so you don’t find yourselves scrounging for dollars or charging the extra few hundred dollars on your credit cards. Weddings are expensive, and even more so when hidden fees start to make their presence felt. Couples who build such fees into their budgets will find it easier to avoid breaking the bank than those who don’t.
R0013114443
In the days of yore, the responsibility of paying for a wedding fell to the bride’s parents. But that tradition has largely fallen by the wayside in recent years, when more and more couples have used their own savings to finance their weddings. Few couples enter the process of planning their weddings unaware of just how expensive weddings can get, but costs can easily begin to escalate if couples are not careful. Couples know that certain wedding expenses, such as the cost of booking a reception hall, will eat up a large portion of their budgets. But there are some hidden expenses that couples must build into their budgets to avoid finding themselves in debt as they walk down the aisle as husband and wife. • Taxes: Sales tax might not seem so significant when you’re buying everyday items, but the taxes add up quickly when paying for a wedding. Before signing contracts with any vendors, couples should get the price including sales tax written into their contracts, as failing to do so may result in a several thousand dollar surprise when the time to pay up arrives. • Gratuities: Gratuities are another potentially hefty expense that often takes engaged couples by surprise as they start to plan their weddings. Some reception halls build gratuities for staff into their estimates, and these tips for the staff can be as high as 25 percent at some venues. But even if gratuities for reception hall staff are already accounted for, don’t forget to include tips for additional vendors the day of the wedding. Couples may be expected to tip the florist, photographer, band or deejay and even the reception hall maitre d’ if his or her gratuity is not included in the aforementioned staff tip. Brides-to-be typically tip their hairstylist and makeup artist on the day of the wedding as well. • Postage: Couples
