Royal Rideau Chair to serve as promotional tool for tourism Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
The Royal Rideau Chair, a symbol of tourism along the Rideau Canal, was formally launched on June 22. “This chair was born out of the Visitors Experience Opportunities Concept,” explained Forbes Symon, Director of Planning and Development. “The purpose is to assist in branding and marketing.” He said Leeds-Grenville MP Gord Brown has been a

champion of promoting the Rideau Canal as a tourist destination. “He was the one who said as a symbol of the Rideau Canal, we should have a chair,” said Symon. The chair, which was designed by François Bruneau of DFC Woodworks Inc., is ‘truly unique,’ according to Symon. “These chairs are made in North Grenville and we are extremely proud to have this come out of the VEOC process,” said Symon. “This

chair has the potential to become significant in creating a unique visitor’s experience. We will have chairs in strategic locations along the Rideau Canal for people to see, sit in and relax.” He said the very first Royal Rideau Chair would be made available for purchase to Brown, who rose to say a few words. “I am really excited about this,” said Brown. “We needed to take advantage of the great asset we have here by promoting it.” He explained Bruneau is known worldwide as one of the best Adirondack chair makers. “Hopefully, people will buy them,” said Brown. “They are comfortable to sit in and helps with the branding of North Grenville.” He thanked Symon and Bruneau for all their hard work on the project. “I am very pleased to see this happen,” said Brown. “It will help to create local jobs and I am happy to purchase the first Royal Rideau Chair.” See Official page K3

More than 300 volunteers from throughout Lanark, Leeds and Grenville were honoured with Ontario Volunteer Service Awards in two ceremonies, June 23 and 26 at the Brockville Country Club. Above, Ennis and Betty James, who have each volunteered for more than 60 years at All Saints Anglican Church in Portland, received awards from Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark, far right.

In his remarks last week, Clark encouraged recipients to wear their pins proudly, noting it’s an opportunity to tell anyone who asks about it how much volunteering can enrich their lives. The deadline for organizations to nominate volunteers is Jan. 25 of each year and more information on the program and how to make nominations is available on the Ministry of Citizenship, Immigration and International Trade’s website here: http://www. citizenship.gov.on.ca/english/citizenship/honours/ vsa.shtml.

More than 300 volunteers of all ages and from every corner of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville were honoured during two Ontario Volunteer Service Awards ceremonies held at the Brockville Country Club last week. Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark was on hand both nights (June 23 and June 26) to present the awards and he noted the combined service to the community of the recipients totals more than 5,000 years. “That’s just an incredible commitment they have to make Leeds-Grenville a better place for all of us and our families to call home,” said Clark. Clark added he is proud local organizations have been so enthusiastic about embracing his challenge to nominate volunteers for recognition through the province’s Volunteer Service Awards. “These people truly are the heart of our community and it’s so important that we take time to thank them for all they have given,” said Clark. “The ceremony is such a special occasion and it’s truly an honour for me to take part. It’s been a highlight of my year since I attended my first ceremony as MPP in 2010.” After the awards program returned to Brockville for a single ceremony last year, Clark said he was thrilled to have two nights of presentations in 2015. “The program is really taking off in Leeds-Grenville and I hope we can continue to see it grow in the years to come,” said Clark. “I can’t think of a better way to not only celebrate all that our volunteers do for us, but to inspire others to give some of their time and talents back to the community.” The Volunteer Service Awards program recognizes contributions by volunteers of all ages who have been with an organization for at least five consecutive years. Recipients receive pins marking 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50 and even 60 years of service. Youth volunteers under 24 years of age can be recognized after at least two consecutive years with a group.

Over two sunny days in early June, 34 Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) supporters braved their fears to skydive and support the organization to the tune of $14,252. The inaugural Jump for Justice was held June 6 and 7 at Mile High Parachuting in Arnprior and the two days were filled with tandem jumps. “Our first two jumpers were our youngest and they happened to be sisters,” noted LCIH board member Amy Nadeau, who had originally put a goal of $5,000 to be raised through the event. “Thirty-four skydivers fundraised for over $14,000. It’s phenomenal. We’re really excited about it.” “It definitely exceeded our expectations,” she said of the total amount raised. “When the pledges started to come in and we saw the totals, it was so great. Our jumpers did an amazing job and getting those funds in.” The initiative was born out of a third party fundraiser last August, where Kelsie Maynard and Amanda Hodgins, both Bayshore Home Health nurses, who were going to skydive and decided to parlay it into raising monies for LCIH. They succeeded, bringing in $2,000 for the organization and were on hand over the weekend to provide support to the jumpers. “It was an amazing experience to

forged a lasting partnership with Mile High Parachuting, who also provided prizes for the jumpers. Those who raised $100 or more received free, unedited videos of their skydives and the top fundraiser, Carleton Place lawyer Craig Rogers who brought in $3,000, earned a full video and photo package, valued at $180. “They are an amazing group. A huge thank you goes out to them,” Nadeau remarked. “They are so much fun to work with and kept the weekend running smoothly and kept the crowds going. They are so skilled at what they do.” Due to its overwhelming success, Nadeau said LCIH will go ahead and host another Jump for Justice next year. “We’ve had completely positive feedback from everyone and people are happy to have done it…we’ll have another one next year, for sure,” she stated. With the infusion of funding, Nadeau said LCIH
will put it to good use, supporting their programs and services and ongoing maintenance of their 15-bed residential shelter. “We do have lots of programs and projects that don’t get funded and it’s so fantastic when we have a surplus of money like this, that we don’t plan on,” she said. “…We will likely also use some for the regular maintenance of our offices. Things break down and there’s just no money in the budget for that.” In fact, a commercial sized generator recently failed in the shelter, leaving staff scrambling at how to replace it. “When you have a full shelter of 15 and we have fridges and freezers with food, to lose things like that is devastating,” Nadeau said on the need for a generator. “A commercial generator is not a small expense.” For more information on Lanark County Interval House and to keep up to date on planning for the 2016 Jump for Justice, visit lcih.org.

Lanark County Crime Stoppers fighting hard against crime Crime Stoppers is a civilian-run non-profit organization that fosters a cooperative relationship between the police services of a community, the media and the community itself in the fight against crime. Crime Stoppers provides citizens with a way to anonymously supply the police with information about a crime or potential crime of which they have knowledge. Cash rewards are offered to people who call the program with information that leads to an arrest. Who administers the Crime Stoppers program? A volunteer board of directors actively administers and is responsible for the program. The Crime Stoppers Society is a charitable organization and is responsible for raising funds and the disbursements of rewards. The board of directors work in close cooperation with the police department. How is the Crime Stoppers program funded? Crime Stoppers is a community project supported by donations of money, goods or services. Contributions from individuals, corporations, clubs, professional associations, retailers, civic

Police investigators thought that, if the public was able to observe a re-enactment of the crime on television, this might lead to a citizen providing information that would lead to an arrest. The police investigators were right. A caller contacted the police department the next day after seeing the reenactment. The tip information was enough to lead the police to the two men who were responsible. Within 72 hours of the re-enactment being aired, the police had solved the murder.

Carrying the torch
ith all of the national pride that was on display on Canada Day yesterday, we are hoping that some of you will take the opportunity to celebrate the red and white when the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games Torch Relay comes through Carleton Place and Smiths Falls this afternoon. Hundreds of Team Canada members will be representing their country in competition this month, and the relay is giving communities throughout Ontario a chance to take part in the international event being hosted by our provincial capital. Although the local stops will be fairly brief, they do offer local residents an opportunity to show their support to the torchbearers and to the concept of having athletes at the highest level don the maple leaf in team and individual sports once every four years. Most of us do not follow these sports on a regular basis, but major endeavours such as Pan Am and the Olympics are able to attract our attention and generate a sense of national pride that allows us to cheer for the Canadians even if we aren’t quite that familiar with the games
they are playing. So if you have some time this afternoon and are able to make it, we encourage you to share the moment somewhere along the way or at the official ceremonies at city and town halls. The torch is expected to arrive at Town Hall Square in Carleton Place at approximately 11:45 a.m. and the town is planning a celebration in the square with a hot dog lunch, balloons and noisemakers. If you can’t get there, Smiths Falls will be welcoming the torch in style, from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m. at the downtown park next to the Rideau Canal Museum. Many of us were fortunate enough to witness the relays associated with the Vancouver and Calgary Winter Olympics, and some can still recall the excitement created by the Montreal games almost 40 years ago. As the Toronto Pan Am Games approach, we can do out part by supporting the Carleton Place and Smiths Falls stops this afternoon and demonstrating to organizers of the torch relay that they made the right decision by choosing these Lanark County communities to be part of the national celebration.
All students at Northcote welcomed the final day of school We anticipated that last day of school for weeks before it finally rolled around.

By the time Miss Crosby was ready to go home, the back lunch table would be piled high with our gifts of thanks… the most simple of fare. Alas, the gifts didn’t sway Miss Crosby one iota when it came to the report cards. No amount of baking or preserves could produce a better grade than what she thought you had earned during the year. And just because it was the last day of school we weren’t excused from the regular routine Miss Crosby followed religiously every other day of the year.

seemed to be lots of chocolate cake and butter tarts, and I can remember how my little friend Joyce would bring homemade fudge for the whole school. Once we had put in a full morning, Miss Crosby would announce that it was lunch time and we would all move to the outside…everyone carrying a bag from the pile at the back of the school room. Miss Crosby always brought a big plaid blanket…one of those that people used in open touring cars. This she would spread out on the grass under the elm tree and the 18 of us who made up the entire enrolment of the Northcote school would sit cross-legged on the grass around the blanket. The lunches would be heaped in the centre, and this was the one time when Miss Crosby didn’t stand on ceremony. We could reach and grab as much as we wanted, all the time staying within the limits of good manners of course. When every last scrap had been eaten, there was rarely a crust left for the birds, Miss Crosby would open a story book she had brought from her home and read us the final chapters. It would be a book that she had been reading to us, one chapter at a time for weeks, and the last day of school was the culmination of that once-a-week read. We half listened. We wanted to hear
LETTER From page 8
Liberal activists have written several letters attacking John Fenik saying he was “fired” from his post in February as campaign manager for Liberal candidate Philippe Archambault, although none of these letters give reasons for the so-called “firing”. The problem for these Liberals is that John Fenik is known as a man of integrity and principle all across Lanark County where he has been warden and in the Town of Perth where he has been acclaimed mayor for three terms. This was the point of Scott Reid’s letter. Scurrilous attacks such as Mr. Fisher’s on John Fenik do not reflect well on the Liberal candidate he is promoting. Last February there was a clear difference of opinion between John Fenik and the Liberal election committee, and the many people who know John will know that he will have had good reasons for withdrawing from the Liberal fold. As one who knows John Fenik well, Scott Reid reflects this opinion, and as a firm supporter of John Fenik I thank Mr. Reid for his gracious letter which was written to counter the Liberal attacks on Mr. Fenik. This exchange of letters raises an important question concerning the coming federal election. Will the majority of people in the new riding of LanarkFrontenac-Kingston vote to keep the, in my opinion, disastrous Harper government in power? In the last election 60 per cent of all Canadians voted against this government, yet because of our out-
the end of the book certainly…but we dreaded the last paragraph. Because when Miss Crosby closed the book for the last time, we dreaded what was coming next. It was report card time…and there was no getting away from it. She kept the report cards in a big folder made out of advertisements from Scott’s Hardware store, the kind used to wrap around textbooks for protection. They were handed out by class; primer book first and then right up to the entrance class. We would steal a peek and let out a roar of sheer joy. We had passed. We had made it into the next grade. Although it would be frowned on today, it was considered a pleasure to be handed a clean-up job before the little one-room schoolhouse was locked up for the summer. The senior girls washed down the slate blackboards, we younger ones took the brushes outside and pounded them together to get every last smidgen of chalk off them and the windowsills were scrubbed. All but a few of the older boys were shooed out of the schoolhouse, and their job was to scour the wood floor with soapy water, a good dash of Lysol, and a mop. Inside we knew Miss Crosby would be stuffing the several holes in the baseboards where on a good day we would see four or five mice scurrying from one opening to another. A textbook would be propped against each hole to further antagonize the field
dated “first-past-the-post” voting system the Harper Conservatives received a majority of seats. One of these, of course, was Scott Reid’s in Lanark-FrontenacLennox and Addington, while the NDP candidate came second, well ahead of the Liberal. The national polls are showing that an even greater majority of Canadians now want change in Ottawa, and to get change voters must choose between the official opposition NDP and the Liberals, with the NDP being the party most Canadians prefer according to those same polls. So also, in the new riding of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston, voters who want change must choose between John Fenik (NDP) and Philippe Archambault (Liberal). However, if the Harper candidate is to be defeated, it is essential that, of these anti-Harper voters, as many as possible must vote for the same candidate to prevent Mr. Reid from “coming up the middle”. This is Ken Fisher’s point about “splitting the anti-Harper vote”, and of course he’s right. But he and other Liberals are wrong to cast aspersions about John Fenik, and this was my reading of Scott Reid’s letter. Considering the fact that voters in this area were willing to vote NDP in the last election, it is not surprising that Liberal activists are concerned. But by trying to blacken the reputation of the NDP’s star candidate, it can be argued that is they who are trying to “split the vote”. Donald Page Smiths Falls
mice that tried to gain entry to our precious building. The year was coming to a close. You could be sure you earned every last comment on the report card, be it good or bad. The long months of summer lay before us, and with mixed feelings of relief and joy, they too would be gone, and Miss Crosby and
the spotlessly cleaned oneroom schoolhouse would once again be ready and waiting for us. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

More than 300 participants are carrying the Pan Am Games torch through 130 Ontario communities en route to the opening ceremony of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games on July 10. The torchbearers will have excellent company and safety security on the trip. Thirteen police officers, most from the OPP, will run or ride alongside the torchbearers to secure the routes and protect the participants. Two police escort vehicles will also be equipped with Rescue 7 Automated External Defibrillators (AED). One AED will accompany the police officers who will run or ride at least 10 hours on every leg of the relay in Ontario. The second Rescue 7 defibrillator will travel to other parts of Canada during the 40-day event. “It’s a great honour to be helping the OPP and Pan Am Games organizers provide torchbearers with a peace of mind and high level of safety over the next 40 days,” says John Collie, CEO Rescue 7, a national safety OURofSPONSORS training and equipment company based in Markham, Ont. “We certainly hope that our AEDs are not needed. But it really does make good safety sense to have these life-saving defibrillators at the ready just in case of an emergency.” Collie says the portable heartstarting Automated External Defibrillators greatly increase the chance of survival in the event of a cardiac arrest. About 40,000 Canadians annually suffer cardiac arrest in which the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating, causing blood to stop flowing to the brain and other vital organs. Cardiac arrests are almost always fatal if not treated within minutes. The Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada says immediate CPR and the use of an AED can more than double a victim’s chance of survival. The Pan Am Games torch relay began its remarkable odyssey on May 30.

Lee-Ann Legault is pleased to announce she has joined Royal LePage Gale Real Estate.
Yesterday was Canada Day and I trust everyone had an enjoyable time on the one day each year when Canadians come together in an impressive show of national unity. We always attend the festivities at Riverside Park in Carleton Place, where we live. The Canada Day events here are a huge draw. It is wonderful to see entire families and people of all ages come together for an afternoon and evening of flag waving, fun and fireworks. July 1 is the unofficial start of summer vacation season in this country and because our short (three-month) summer always seems to streak past, we have to take advantage of every opportunity we have to enjoy the sunshine and warmth. No, I am not trying to put a jinx on summer by mentioning sun and heat. Officials at Environment Canada made a bold prediction last week, forecasting above average temperatures and lots of sunny days for the vast majority of our huge nation. So, time to put on the sunscreen, go out and enjoy ourselves! Our summer began in style with a long visit by our daughter Heather, her partner Indy and their baby daughter Lily. After two weeks visiting back and forth between our Carleton Place home and his parents’ house in Montreal it was time for Indy to return to his job. He worked a few days at his firm’s Canadian headquarters in downtown Ottawa before flying back to Regina, where Indy is currently posted, to resume his regular work activities on the Canadian Prairies. Heather and Lily stayed on for another week. The visit with dad and mom was the only vacation Heather will get this summer and with a baby to contend with – Lily turned 15 months while they were here – there isn’t much down time. The baby is walking now and her forays got longer and longer during their visit, something that kept all of us on the run. She’s not too steady on her pins yet and besides babies need constant watching. Still, we made our best of the limitations a little one places on you. Babies are very portable and we were able to make a few sojourns around the district, including a day trip to nearby Ottawa for lunch and some shopping. Just as the Environment Canada folks predicted, Mother Nature was kind to us. We were able to spend several lazy afternoons and evenings relaxing on our deck and in our backyard. The barbecue was our focus for meals and with so much good weather we often ate
Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE
dinner outside. With a gate securely in place Lily was able to further test her newfound walking skills, doing laps around the deck furniture. In the yard she had the run of the place. Literally in Lily’s case! She alternately walked, booted or tossed a kids’ size soccer ball, played with her toys and looked for the worst possible places to sit. Little ones always love flower borders, soil, leaves and grass. So a lot of soiled garments were added to the daily laundry. When babies are around water conservation isn’t a priority. We also have a great park in our neighbourhood and Lily loves the swings. We tired of that activity long before she did. On the way home from the park Lily qualified for “ParticipACTION.” She walked a block with her grandpa. At the end of the day Heather was pleased because Lily had worn herself out and slept like a log. Vacations costly During Heather and Lily’s visit I heard a news report that focused on the fact many Canadians are in despair this year because they can’t afford a summer vacation. Despite the huge drop in oil prices, the cost of gasoline in Canada remains relatively high, something which irks all of us and particularly those planning a driving holiday this summer. Ironically the slump in the energy sector has also put downward pressure on the loonie which, at this writing, is hovering in the 80 cent range when compared to the still dominant United States’ greenback. The lower value of the dollar makes a holiday trip south of the border less attractive. In this area that’s a shame because of our proximity to the 49th parallel. Personally I feel that anyone, no matter what their financial situation, can enjoy a summer break. It isn’t necessarily where you go or how much money you spend that are the chief determining factors in having a good holiday. Vacation season is only as good as what you make of it! And summer breaks can be just as enjoyable – perhaps more so – if you stay close to home and take advantage of all the things
there are to do in your own community. I do a lot of writing about overseas trips and Kathleen and I are planning another European vacation later this summer. We’ve been fortunate to do a lot of international traveling during the past 20 years. But believe me, it wasn’t always like this! When our children were young summer vacation meant a visit with Kathy’s parents in her hometown of Chatham, Ontario. No accommodation or food costs involved with grandpa and grandma footing the bill. Only the price of gasoline for the car and miscellaneous expenses. On occasion Kathy and I would take an overnight trip of our own to nearby Michigan, just to get a break while we had built-in babysitters at our disposal. When the kids got older those trips included sun-splashed forays to the sandy beaches of Lake Erie and perhaps a Major League game at old Tiger Stadium in Detroit. All of our family vacations were carefully budgeted by my frugal wife. If you have a young family, but don’t have the option we had when our children were growing up, there are still plenty of choices close to home that will give you some enjoyable summer holiday experiences. In Carleton Place we’re fortunate enough to have Canada’s Mississippi River running through our community and a truly beautiful outdoor venue, the aptly named Riverside Park. The park isn’t only a great place for Canada Day observances. It is a great destination throughout the warm weather months and includes a very clean beach, a splash pad, children’s playground equipment and picnic tables. From my observations the local park experience is available in most communities. So too are local museums which, despite the hard work of staff and volunteers, are too often under appreciated. Visit your local museum and learn more about the history of the community or district you live in. We have an excellent museum in our town and I wish more people would take advantage of that fact.

Capital vacation We often tend to totally ignore what is available to us in our own community or our own district. People in this region have some truly incredible options due to our proximity to Ottawa, the nation’s capital and all the many sites the centre of government for the country has to offer. Ottawa also has so many other facilities that big cities on this continent feature. Certainly Parliament Hill and the Parliament Buildings offer a tremendous opportunity for Canadians to learn about their own country and for most of my readers it is just down the road. The day trip experiences available in Ottawa are unlimited really. It is one of the greenest capitals in the world and a stroll along the Rideau Canal, now a World Heritage Site, is worth a visit by itself. If you enjoy camping there are so many provincial parks and camp sites available to you within a short distance. We also have the added advantage of being in close proximity to the St. Lawrence River, the St. Lawrence Seaway and wonderful smaller cities such as Kingston and Brockville which have such interesting histories and offer so much to visitors. An excursion to Old Fort Henry in Kingston is something history lovers won’t soon forget. The setting is so spectacular for photographers like me. The list of vacation possibilities is endless really. And much of what I have referred to is very easy to do, readily accessible and relatively inexpensive. Of course if all else fails one of the best summer holiday options possible is as close as your own backyard, front porch or outdoor deck. Park yourself on a lawn chair with a beverage of your choice, soak up some rays and watch the world go by. When mealtime arrives light up the barbecue and treat yourself and your loved ones to dinner outdoors. Today’s world is far too fast and much too involved in my opinion. Everyone needs a pressure release and the valve is at your disposal. Turn off your portable device/cell phone, hit the off button on the television or computer and enjoy what summer in eastern Ontario has to offer. Whatever you do don’t waste the limited opportunities the weather at this time of year offers us. I wish all of you a very enjoyable summer!

Correction and clarification The June 18, 2015 issue of this newspaper included an article on the front page of the third section Connected to Your Community, “Perth Bible Researcher says Jesus will return in 2027.” We published accompanying photos of Father Brian McNally, pastor of St. John the Baptist Catholic Parish in Perth, and of parishioners attending daily Mass in the church. We would like to clarify that the article had no connection whatsoever with Fr. McNally or with St. John the Baptist Catholic Parish and the parish. This newspaper apologizes for the unintentional misrepresentation, and to Fr. McNally for any confusion this has caused.
CPHC offers continued support to stroke survivors, caregivers Community & Primary Health Care (CPHC) – Lanark, Leeds and Grenville is pleased to be offering continued support for stroke survivors and their caregivers by means of a support group. The support group provides an opportunity for persons affected by stroke to learn more about stroke, discover community resources, build a social network and share and learn new coping techniques. Social support is a key component of stroke recovery as it can increase self confidence and decrease feelings of isolation, fear and loneliness. Meeting with the others provides an opportunity to support one another in dealing with the life changes that result from a stroke. Some quotes from the support group include: “Just talking with members about experiences is encouraging;” “It has encouraged me greatly to continue my work at ‘getting bet-
ter’;” “This is a very good forum for learning, meeting new people, making new friends;” and “I enjoy the conversations and feel safe in the group. It is always a positive atmosphere.” The Perth and Area Stroke Survivor and Caregiver Support Group meets from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. on the fourth Wednesday of every month. Meetings are held at the Royal Canadian Legion in Perth. The Brockville and area group meets from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. on the fourth Monday of every month and meetings take place in the CPHC board room. Registration is not required. The group is free, confidential, open to new members always and led by a trained facilitator.

This Week’s Pets
This week’s featured pets Ruby Meet Ruby, a tiny kitten with “catitude”. She’s barely lived in this scary large world and already knows what she wants. That’s Ruby! She’s just over twomonths-old and eager to meet her new family to cuddle with her and welcome her into a warm loving home.
call me Ernie, but I don’t care what you call me as long as you call me into your welcoming home for my next meal. Please choose me as your favorite cat. I am worth the trip to Natural Pets in Carleton Place. Isla We’re looking for a foster or permanent home for our Isla, who has been at LAWS since February. Isla needs to be
fears young children, but experience shows that she is very loving toward most adults. At LAWS unfortunately, Isla has been confined to small quarters. What she needs is a person who’s willing to work with her on her terms. Let her come to you, play with a toy, show her that the world is really OK. We feel that with patience and limited pressure, she will come around. It might take some time, but she will come around. If you think you’re able and willing to give her a fair try, please call LAWS at 613-283-9308 to make arrangements to meet her. Isla would love to meet you, for sure! Meah Please meet Meah our Alaskan Malamute mix. Sadly, she was tied to a short chain for most of her life, causing her to gain far too much weight. This type of dog needs to run and pull your favorite summer sled. She’s a very sweet, pretty six-year-old girl who needs to be invited into a home where one knows and understands the breed. Meah is a very strong puller and could cart you around with her strength. Despite the fact that she was kept chained for so long she has not lost faith and trust in people. She likes to go for walks and hopes a good home will come along where she’s allowed to do what nature made her for: Running while pulling something! Her potential adopter should be willing to spend lots of time with her to help her lose weight. Get her out of the house and throw toys around the yard for her to chase. Put her to work pulling you on roller blades or get a lightweight cart. You’ll both have fun! If she’ll be the only dog, this is even more important. Two dogs may wrestle and expend energy playing, but a lone dog doesn’t have that option. You then will have to be her playmate. If you’re willing to commit to this Meah could be your best playmate for the remainder of her life. She’s definitely worth the trip to LAWS.

Annabelle Annabelle is a very loving young, approximately two-year-old female cat, who loves to have a conversation with you. She was rescued off the streets by a very nice woman who has nurtured her back to good health.

Wardens caucus expresses support for Ontario’s doctors in fight to put patients first stop government cuts to patient care. The motion came after Ontario Medical Association president Dr. Mike
Toth met with the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus in Pembroke and outlined how the government’s imposed changes to doctors and medical services are impacting patient care. “We are all acutely aware that this is a critical time for Ontario’s health care system,” said Dr. Toth. “At a time when there are more than 800,000 Ontarians still without a family doctor and 140,000 new residents are being added into the system every year, the government is in the process of implementing unilateral restrictions and cuts in an effort to balance its budget. They are putting their budget ahead of patients.” One of those restrictions is to the ability of family doctors
to join team-based models of practice – the model in which new doctors are currently trained – which could impact the family physician recruitment efforts municipalities in eastern Ontario, and across the province, have undertaken to attract doctors to their communities. “A key factor to our great quality of life in rural eastern Ontario is having access to family physicians and health services close to home,” said Warden Eric Duncan, chair of EOWC. “We want to make sure that our communities are well served and that rules and regulations are not burdening our valued rural health care practices. We support any changes
that encourage more doctors to set up practice in communities around Ontario, particularly eastern Ontario.” Doctors may only join teams in communities the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Long-Term Care have identified on a list as areas of high physician need. The problem is the MOH has cut in half the number of doctors who can join teams and there are 200 communities on the list competing for those 20 doctors per month. “The reality is there is a need for family doctors in communities across the province – whether they area on the list or not,” said Dr. Toth. “My practice gets calls every week from people looking for a family doctor, but the ministry
doesn’t deem my community of Aylmer an area of high physician need.” Another change the government imposed on Feb. 1 was an arbitrary limit on the number of services doctors can provide to patients by placing a cap on the budget for medical services. This cap will be achieved by clawing back physician billings after they have already provided care to their patients. “As government imposes these terms, doctors will do everything we can to limit the impacts these cuts will have on patients,” he said. “But make no mistake; there will be negative impacts on patients.” Submitted by the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus. 0702.R0013352695

production of Anne & Gilbert, as well as a remount of Les Miserables at the Princess of Wales Theatre in 2013. He says that musical was huge but very intimate at the same time. “I will never forget our first public preview, and we sing this huge Act 1 finale song and 2,000 people who gave up just about anything to get a ticket to this show just erupted in applause,” he recalls. “It was a sound and a feeling that is impossible to describe. “The emotion was huge and it can be very broad, but the goal of the remount was to find the intimacy and honesty in this huge musical. I remember the first time we ran the barricade sequence with 8 or 10 other guys, and you find these real relationships in rehearsal. We asked, ‘What would you do if you looked at your best friend and you were about to die?’ which happens in that scene. To build and find those moments was a real focus.” That production was also important personally for Zonneville, who met his partner Mallory Reeves during the production. (When he leaves Perth the town in August, he will
be living in Perth County, Stratford, where Reeves is working as a wigmaker at the Stratford Festival.) Zonneville’s life continues to take serendipitous paths. As someone interested in becoming a beer sommelier, a few weeks before he came to town he ran into a man in Toronto with a car full of Perth Brewing product. “Here I am in this city of millions of people and I meet this guy from Perth. I didn’t get his last name, it was just Bruce from Perth, and he was the nicest guy. I like that feel in a community, and look forward to spending more time with it.” Zonneville is enjoying rehearsals for Barefoot in the Park, given “it’s such a universal play. Things haven’t changed a lot in the last 50 years in many ways when it comes to relationships. Audiences will totally relate to the arguments that Corie and Paul have and the tender beginning of married life.” Tickets to the Classic Theatre Festival are available online at classictheatre.ca or 1-877-283-1283.

One of the first times actor Chris Zonneville ran into Rachel Fischer, his co-star in the Classic Theatre Festival production of Neil Simon’s comedy Barefoot in the Park (running July 10 to Aug. 2 at 54 Beckwith Street East in Perth), she knocked out one of his teeth. The two first met while performing in a series of Disney Cruise Lines musicals, as part of Toy Story: The Musical casts. The cruises would launch from Cape Canaveral and end up on Disney’s private island in the Bahamas (where the movie Blow was filmed). On a second tour, they saw each other for the first time in eight months and, in a manner common to the theatrical tradition, went for a friendly hug. “But as we went to hug each other, a guy walking nearby accidentally bumped her from behind, so she butted me in the face and broke out my fake tooth. It was funny, and also a bit awkward, but we were chipper about it and went on,” Zonneville laughs. Little did he know then that the two would work on a show as a battling young married couple years later in Perth, in the roles of stuffed shirt lawyer Paul and his free-spirited newlywed wife Corie. Then again, accidents can have a funny way of determining one’s destiny. Zonneville’s path to a life on the stage began when an accident kicked him off the elementary school basketball team. So when his mother needed boys for the chorus of the musical Bye Bye Birdie, he suddenly had some free time and gave it a shot. Like many a youthful performer, he was immediately struck by the unique experience. “I finally found a voice that empathized with me when I got into theatre, and I love telling stories, which is the basis for theatre,” says Zonneville. “I was very young at the time, and it just seemed very real and natural and I was good at it,” he says, noting that growing up in a sports-crazy town (Sarnia), his future as a theatre student was a bit different from the career paths of many of his hockeyloving peers. He was accepted at one of the top theatre schools in North America, Sheridan College, where he enjoyed the triple threat program (singing, dancing, acting) a few years behind Fischer. “It’s a remarkable program, and you get back what you put into it, with a great staff who put in the time to make sure you get the training you want.” His first professional gig out of school was performing The Mikado at Southern Ontario’s Drayton Theatre, and he has since performed across the country in a variety of roles, including a recent Thousand Islands Playhouse

Mills Community Support introduces new Friends and Fun program Loneliness is my least favorite thing about life. The thing that I’m most worried about is just being alone without anybody to care for or someone who will care for me. Anne Hathaway Imagine if you lived alone with no family or friends within close distance or family and friends who just visited on occasions, or if you lived in an isolated rural area with nobody around you for possibly miles, no one to visit, talk to or share things with. Many of our seniors who still live at home are experiencing this as husbands or wives have passed on, their close friends have either moved away or passed away, some may not have children or the children do not live close by and they are lonely and would love to have someone to come in and share some companionship and friendship for an hour a week, or every two weeks or more if you have the time. We all need people no matter how close or how often the contact and we often find that if people sit at home with no stimulation or interests in their day that onset of dementia happens that more quickly or people become depressed and withdrawn from their community and society. We have had feedback from several of our clients asking if we could find them someone who would come and visit with them, sit and chat, have
a coffee or a cup of tea, maybe go for a walk with them...the possibilities are endless for something like this. We have folks who like to do crossword puzzles, Sudoku, play Scrabble or just go out for a drive so that they get out of the house, get some fresh air and see something other than the four walls of their home or apartment. So based on the requests that we have received and from our staff who have identified some folks who could possibly use a friendly face, we have established a new program called Friends and Fun. If you have an hour a week, an hour every two weeks or even some time on a monthly basis to visit someone in their home we would love to hear from you. There is no set day of the week or time of day that you have to do this – just give us a call and we will match you up with someone who has some common interests and hobbies. To have a friend and be a friend is what makes life worthwhile. Submitted by Mills Community Support Corporation.
The Mills Community Support Corporation is introducing a new Friends and Fun program, to provide companionship to seniors in the Almonte, Carleton Place, Perth and Smiths Falls areas. Providing these opportunities allows clients to be more social through field trips, above. Right, Meeting up with friends for a weekly lunch can also benefit lonely seniors. Submitted photos

Your taste and needs may change, and a short-term lease can make it easier to drive a new vehicle more frequently.
Brimming with the romantic optimism of the post-war era, the sunny comedy Yesteryear brings the hopeful message that love can be even lovelier the second time around. Set in the 1940s in small town Saskatchewan, Joanna McClelland Glass’s Prairie tale is about love lost and found, and the differences money can make. Be part of the fun when an Irish Sweepstakes ticket exalts the meek above the mighty. Seen here are three of the stars, from left: Bernie Oldendorp, Lucas Tennant and Alison Kirkpatrick. Yesteryear, directed by Norma Cummings, concludes at the Studio Theatre in Perth with three performance this coming weekend, July 3 and 4 at 8 p.m., and Sunday, July 5 at 2 p.m. For details and ticket information please visit studiotheatreperth.com.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, your energy levels are elevated this week. Make the most of this newfound energy by tackling all of those projects you have been putting off.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, an irritating issue seems to fix itself and that is relieving. Remember, you do not have to take on everything yourself. Plenty of people are willing to lend a hand.

It seems you have everything all together, and others may seek out your advice. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, when your imagination is stimulated, there’s nothing you cannot accomplish. This may be an interesting week for you, as restless energy has you seeking an outlet. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you may need to look at a problem from another perspective to find the best solution. Discuss your findings with others and see if they have any suggestions. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Take things easy and let your intuition work for you, Aquarius. Financial or business-related projects fall in your lap, and you work through them quite easily. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Emotions reach a high after hearing good news this week, Pisces. It’s okay to let your guard down a bit around your loved ones. 0702

RICHARD JAMES BURKE 4th Degree Knights of Columbus
The family of the late Jim Burke would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped comfort them during the sudden and difficult passing of their beloved father, papa, brother, uncle and brother-in-law. Special thanks are extended to the staff at the Great War Memorial site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital including Doctor’s Joannou, Del Grande and his long time physician Doctor A. Drummond. To the third floor nursing staff we will forever remember your professionalism and compassion. We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful facility in our community. To Rev. Father Brian McNally, we are blessed to have you as our Parish Priest and our dear friend. Your prayers, guidance, and many visits provided comfort and strength to us all. To the choir, for providing beautiful music. To the 4th Degree Honour Guard, honourary pallbearers and the Knights of Council #3531, we thank you for the lovely tribute, Dad would be so proud. We as well thank the pallbearers and grandchildren for honouring Dad’s wishes. To Stewart Blair and his remarkable staff, your expertise is unequalled. To all those who sent prayers, food, cards, condolences, charitable donations and floral tributes, we are eternally grateful. The Burke Family
LAMING, Dwayne D. 1955 – 2010 There’s a face that’s with us ever, There’s a voice we long to hear, A smile we’ll remember forever, Though we try to forget every tear. There’s sad but sweet remembrance, There’s memory fond and true, There’s a token of affection dear, And heartache still for you. The world changes year to year, And friends from day to day, But never will the one we loved, From memory pass away. (“Thanks for the Dance”) Sadly missed, Always loved Kathy, Christina, Brendan, Breige and families

DUGDALE, Ernest – In loving memory of Wayne who passed away June 29, 2012. God called him home, It was His will, But in our hearts, We love him still. His memory is as dear today, As in the hour he passed away. We often sit and think of him, When we are all alone, For memory is the only thing, That grief can call its own. Sadly missed by your brothers and sisters and families

Musical minister packs up saxophone and heads off to Ottawa church I was reminded, yet again, how fortunate I am to be involved in the “roots music” community throughout Canada, thereby being able to meet so many stellar musicians, their families and friends. It’s an almost “underground” community as many of the players are unknown to public outside this realm. Folk, roots…acoustically driven music that has its beginnings and respect for the old while blending with the new, offers a magic world out there, full of people I described in my last article as one’s who, most often, independently produce, promote and play their very listenable music to the lucky few who have experienced and recognized the quality of what they’ve seen or heard and, as a result, search it out to enjoy more. We were at a stag & doe for a musician friend and his bride-to-be...it was a surprise as he thought it was just another gig. To see the look on his face as he panned the room, seeing so many musician friends he plays with in various configurations filling the room, all excited to take the stage with him and all realizing how rare a special opportunity this was. Most of them are normally playing somewhere else or gigging out on the road. It’s infrequent musicians get to socialize so for them to take the time out of busy schedules to show up, complete with family members or main squeezes, was a credit to all he’s done for others. No pay, no egos, just lots of energy and the obvious joy of making music together that reverberated through every note. As I wandered around I heard conversations about gear, new kids having arrived since they’d last met, gig opportunities and a room full of proverbial encouragement for one another, each respecting and supporting one another’s experiences of trying to make a living in this crazy world of being a touring musician they’re all involved in. A truly marvellous, good feeling vibe transcended the room for the evening. It was a real privilege to take it all in. Flash forward to the following weekend. I was channel surfing and found a movie just released on Netflix called Austin to Boston which I had never heard of so checked it out. I realized it was as if someone put this in front of me to experience after my recent writings about road warrior musicians. Director James Marcus Haney chronicles the travels in five veteran VW micro-buses, four bands, 3,000 miles of touring dates in two weeks from the left coast to the east. Conceived by Mumford & Sons’ Ben Lovett, also executive producer, Lovett is also a co-founder of a record label and live music promotions company called Communion, whose aim is to be a “platform for an unsigned music scene in the main cities”. He took unknown British groups (Ben Howard, The Staves, Nathaniel Rateliff, Bear’s Den) and, fresh off the stages of SXSW in Austin, Texas, piled them in the VWs and off they went on a zany tour, playing in pubs, halls, barns and rooftops to appreciative crowds across the USA. We’re not talking about swanky tour buses and lavish hotels, we’re talk-
ing crammed vehicles, campgrounds and two-star hotels. Heavy rains, cantankerous vehicles, tight schedules and what must have seemed like endless driving brought home what it takes to make or break an adventure such as this. From being basic strangers at the beginning, they became a real family at the end. Gil Landry of Old Crow Medicine Show signed on as driver/VW mechanic and provided the narration. Some incredibly harmonious musicianship was offered by The Staves – an English sister folk trio. All the music was creative and enjoyable. If you get a chance, check it out. It’s a great glimpse at another world. Lanark County is losing one of its musical pride and joys. On Sunday, (are you sitting down?), I attended Trinity United in Smiths Falls for the last service Rev. Peter Woods, their minister, would perform as he is moving to MacKay United in Ottawa. A wonderful saxophone player, Pete’s played in Saints & Sinners around the area for years, besides playing with Dennis Staples and crew. He also plays as a duo with one of Canada’s great jazz pianists, Brian Browne who, at one time had his own radio show in Toronto. His renowned Brian Browne Trio who backed Anne Murray on Snowbird and other early recordings before going to New York to back the late guitar great, Lenny Breau. During the service I also had the opportunity to hear live for my first time, Peter’s son, Campbell Woods sing and I must say, if you get a chance to hear him, please do. His naturally laid-back delivery and voice with great range would have made Pete Seeger proud with Campbell’s haunting version of Peace in the Valley, as Pete regularly performed this classic, written originally by Tommy Dorsey for Mahalia Jackson. To Peter, his wife Carolyn Sutherland (previous artistic director for Stewart Park Festival and Shelter Valley Festival), we wish you and both your musical families all the best. Peter has been an inspiration both spiritually and musically to those in Smiths Falls and area for the past 19+ years, will be missed and we wish him well. Finally, just a short note to congratulate the organizers of the Rock the Docks event held at the new Rideau Ferry Docks, hosted by the Rideau Ferry Yacht Club. Scott Cameron organized a wonderful lineup of local musicians. I hope this new event gains legs and becomes an annual event. Great fun.

RVCA delivers on Kemptville Creek commitment Thanks to the environmental commitment and goodwill of Kemptville Creek subwatershed residents, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) was able to reach its goal to undertake stewardship activities in all six catchment areas of the Kemptville Creek subwatershed. Working with residents, local partners and municipalities, RVCA provided technical and financial assistance for projects aimed at improving local watershed health. “We are delighted to see the uptake of our public conservation programs,” says Rudy Dyck, director of stewardship services. “Local residents are keen to do good things and we are pleased to help them achieve their stewardship and conservation goals.” The Kemptville Creek subwatershed is the second largest tributary of the Rideau River. Kemptville Creek is formed by the confluence of two forks, the North Branch and the South Branch. Together they drain a relatively flat farming district of 456 square kilometres with many large wetlands, moist woodlands and fertile crop lands. The subwatershed is changing though – from a long established community of single-family farms and small businesses to one of new country estates, big box stores and greenfield developments. Although in relatively good shape, the 2013 Kemptville Creek Subwatershed Report calls for increased attention to water quality concerns in Barnes Creek, continued beaver management and the protection of forests, shorelines and wetlands. Data shows that Kemptville Creek is enviable with its lush, green, natural shorelines. The goal is to simply keep things as natural as possible and let natural features and functions do what they do best. “The watershed is in good shape,” says Dyck. “What’s critical now is having landowners do their part to protect or enhance the watershed’s existing natural features.” Good stewardship activities and de-

cisions taking place on the land every day is crucial to long-term watershed health. Working together, the RVCA is helping landowners with technical expertise and grants for on-the-ground efforts to undertake best management practices on their properties or restore natural features. “We can help with tree planting, shoreline naturalization, shoreline erosion protection, livestock fencing, septic system replacements, nutrient management plans, fish habitat enhancements, garbage clean ups and more,” says Dyck. “We are always looking to connect with landowners and offer our incentive programs which can often cover from 50 to 100 percent of project costs.” Since the report was issued back in the spring of 2014, considerable effort has been made to connect with landowners in the subwatershed area in hopes of undertaking quality stewardship projects. To date, 37 projects were completed including 120,000 trees planted on 60 hectares, 400 metres of shoreline buffes created, one garbage clean up event and 13 different Rural Clean Water projects including livestock fencing, erosion control, and various septic and well related projects. More than $285,000 project dollars were invested on private and public lands to improve local environmental conditions. Thanks to all the community partners for their support – Ducks Unlimited, Eastern Ontario Model Forest, Ferguson Forestry Center, Forests Ontario, Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Municipality of North Grenville, Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation and Saint Michael Catholic High School. The RVCA continues to offer guidance and financial assistance, on behalf of watershed municipalities, to help property owners undertake best management practices on their properties.

“Lots of people come in here and say thank you after,” said Urslak. “It’s a great feeling being part of the community in that capacity.” He explained the North Grenville Fire Service is growing to meet the needs of the growing municipality it serves. He said the NGFS answers one call per day, on average.

Kia topS initial Quality ranKingS For non-luxury brandS brand 1. Porsche 2. Kia 3. Jaguar
Kia was the top-ranking mainstream brand with Hyundai right behind in J.D. Power’s 2015 U.S. Initial Quality Study (IQS) results released today. On average, the two Korean brands led those from all other countries by the widest margin ever, while the scores for Japanese brands collectively fell below the industry average for the first time in the 29-year history of the Initial Quality Study. The annual study examines problems experienced by vehicle owners during their first 90 days of ownership. Initial quality is determined by the number of problems experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100), with a lower score reflecting higher quality. For the third year in a row, Porsche was the highest-ranking nameplate overall in the study, with an average score of 80 PP100. Kia ranked second overall (86 PP100), followed by Jaguar (93), Hyundai (95), Infiniti (97) and BMW (99). Infiniti was one of the most improved brands in the study, lowering its problem score by 31 PP100 from 2014. Overall, the industry average of 112 PP100 represented a 3% improvement over last year’s average of 116 PP100. The Korean brands averaged just 90 PP100, an

11% improvement from 2014, while the European brands (113) surpassed the Japanese (114) for the first time and American makes (114) equalled the Japanese for only a second time. Even though the Japanese brands experienced a 2 PP100 improvement from 2014, on average, those from the other countries improved even more. Only four of the 10 Japanese brands included in the study posted an improvement. “This is a clear shift in the quality landscape,” said Renee Stephens, vice president of U.S. automotive quality at J.D. Power. “For so long, Japanese brands have been viewed by many as the gold standard in vehicle quality. “While the Japanese automakers continue to make improvements, we’re seeing other brands, most notably Korean makes, really accelerating the rate of improvement,” he added. “Leading companies are not only stepping up the pace of improvements on existing models, but are also working up front to launch vehicles with higher quality and more intuitive designs.” By Gerry Malloy - June 17, 2015

Fad yo-yo diet is new eating disorder Heather Westendorp
Fad diets have existed for centuries, but in the last two decades the diet and food manufacturing industry have shifted from promoting weight loss and health to all new levels. You can now eat and even wear endless choices for organic, vegan and gluten free products. Manufactured foods and goods are a multibillion dollar industry unto itself. Walking through the grocery store, the choice of over 3,000 packages of food like items offering promises for improved health and wellness is overwhelming! Food trends are creating increased sales for industry giants, but are they really benefitting the population? Could these trends and nutrition focuses actually leading to a new type of eating disorder? Each of us tries to remember our doctor and dietician’s advice about balance, but with each new fad, the promises of perfect health and weight loss are so tempting. The population is saturated with more thoughts and worry about the foods we eat than any other time in history. Weight loss organizations may even turn all foods into mere points. Provided you eat the right number of points you will lose weight. Points are based on calories, but the weight loss organization manufactures and sells its own brand of foods based on the point system! The consumer pays plenty of money to get thin using their point system and tools The Gluten free fad encourages consumers to blame wheat, barley and rye for stomach discomfort. Individuals with diagnosed Celiac disease who consume gluten suffer adverse health issues ranging from abdominal bloating, gas, diarrhea and vomiting to migraine headaches and joint pain. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects the digestive process of the small intestine. In 2009 research showed between 0.5 and 1.0 percent of people suffer Celiac disease. This disease has no cure but is manageable with a gluten-free diet. Then we have the raw food fad. Raw food is good for you for the most part, but some foods really need to be cooked to be safe and other foods are nutritionally enhanced through cooking, like tomatoes with lycopene. The bad and evil Fats are now being replaced with concerns about Carbohydrates. Removing fat from foods and replacing it with sugars and thickeners creates a whole new problem.

GCFDC moves forward with positive economic plans Joseph Morin
joe.morin@metroland.com
The economic health of Grenville County is not just the result of luck and opportunity. Many economic groups have dedicated themselves to strengthening the economic position of small and large business in the area. One such group is the Grenville Community Futures Development Corporation, (GCFDC). On June 19 the GCFDC held its annual general meeting in North Grenville at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. Heather Lawless, executive director of the GCFDC gave a brief overview of the achievements of the past year for the corporation. The mission of the GCFDC is to invest in jobs, businesses as well as community innovation in Grenville County. Financing business has always been a cornerstone of the GCFDC. In 2014-2015 it gave out $1.2 million in loans to 22 business. The economic boost the loans provided had an impact on 86 jobs. Since 1990, the GCFDC has loaned out $21.7 million to 510 businesses with a resulting impact on 2,947 jobs.
Helping out existing business with counselling and educational services is another area the group is involved with. “We delivered 186 in-depth counselling sessions to new and existing businesses which impacted on 628 jobs,” said Lawless. The Self Employment Benefit Program, which is a provincewide program was cancelled this past spring. The existing program will continue until April 2016 and is one that Lawless feels will be missed. It was administered by the GCFDC in this area. Steve Clark MPP for Leeds-Grenville was at the AGM on Friday. Clark was happy that the GCFDC was performing so well but disappointed in what was happening to the Self Employment Benefit Program. “I wanted to take a moment this morning to say how disappointed I was to learn that the provincial government suddenly pulled its funding for the Ontario Self-Employment Benefit program,” said Clark. “They did this without warning – and from everything I’ve seen, without any consultation.” Clark said he was interested in finding out how the Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities arrived at the decision to shut

We not only had an 83 per cent completion rate, but 63 per cent of the businesses started under it over the past five years remain in business today. Compare that to the average of 40 per cent for business start-ups in Ontario over that period and
you can see why this was a bad decision,” said Clark. “I believe the 197 businesses this program helped launch in the past five years and the 204 new jobs those start-ups created made it an important component in our rural economic development tool kit,” said Clark. The Grenville group delivered three business plan development workshops under the program. They had an amazing 83 per cent
success rate and a survival rate of 63 per cent. Twenty-one businesses were started up and thanks to the program 21 jobs were created. Since 1990, 977 clients created 1,303 jobs. “We are disappointed that the income support for the program is finished,” said Lawless. “However we will still be supporting rural business in Grenville County.” She mentioned one of the rea-
sons cited by the province for stopping the popular program was a poor track record. Unlike other areas of the province Grenville’s has been excellent. Fortunately the GCFDC also gets funding from the federal government and that has not changed. “We have a five-year funding commitment from the Federal Development Agency of Southern Ontario,” said Lawless. Normally the agency likes to make only year-to-year commitments but thanks to the success and track record of the GCFDC the five-year commitment was awarded. They are in the top three funding allocation brackets in a field of 15 other similar organizations in eastern Ontario. “We are also involved in supporting community projects,” said Lawless. Last year they invested $37,500 in 13 different community economic development projects. A few of them were the Dandelion Festival and BR+E Alliance in North Grenville, the St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival Globe to Globe, the South Grenville Business Showcase and Expo and the SEB Business Plan Awards.

The following is a list of briefs from the June 22 council meeting. Mayor’s Commendation Milfred Harper was honoured with the mayor’s commendation on June 22. “Unfortunately, Milfred couldn’t be here tonight,” said Mayor David Gordon. “I have known Milfred for approximately 30 years. He’s a member of the (Kemptville) Kinsmen, the (Kemptville Branch Royal Canadian) Legion, the (Beth Donovan) Hospice; wherever you need a helping hand, Milfred is there. He is out there so many days of the year helping people. He is always there to pitch in and he is a blessing to this community.” Bertram questions definition of local watershed vulnerability Councillor Jim Bertram asked whether the definition of ‘local watershed vulnerability’ - in the approved minutes for the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority meeting held on April 23 – included the sensitivity of aquifers. “We have been working very closely with the RVCA, with respect to the (Energy East) Pipeline,” said Brian Carré, CAO. He explained staff had discussions with the RVCA concerning the municipality’s drinking water, which come from the Nepean and Oxford aquifers – both are deemed environmentally sensitive. “That definition does certainly include the sensitivity of our two aquifers,” said Carré. Counties supports regional Ombudsman proposal
Carré explained again to council that the Ontario Ombudsman is now responsible for investigating municipalities. As such, the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus has recommended that a regional ombudsman be recruited and retained. “In the event this proposal

Mayor condemns recent acts of vandalism “There is one thing I want to bring up tonight,” said Mayor David Gordon. “There is a very small minority of people in North Grenville who have no respect for personal property.” He cited an incident of damage to the boat dock in Curry Park and the more recent incident of senseless destruction to the flower boxes hanging from Prescott Street bridge. “Some intellectual geniuses decided to throw all the flower in the water,” said Gordon.

North Grenville Council briefs from June 22
OPINION I
Water wars
recently watched a documentary titled ‘Blue Gold.’ It’s all about an impending world water shortage that will likely result in a serious problem 50 years down the road; people dying of thirst worldwide type serious. It documents why the world is losing its fresh water supply rapidly and the politics behind water ownership and distribution. All very interesting points. I never would have known a handful of large corporations own water rights all over the world unless I watched the movie – it never would have occurred to me people could ‘own’ water. But they can and they do. In fact, one put a bid in on water rights to the Great Lakes. Scary. Now, as a Canadian, I think of water as something a few feet below my feet. After all, an abundance of fresh water flows in Canada. According to Environment Canada, we have 7 per cent of the world’s ‘renewable’ fresh water supply. The website states ‘It is easy for Canadians to assume that they have an almost endless supply of clean, fresh water. After all, we’re often told that Canada has some 20 per cent of the world’s total freshwater resources. However, less than half of this water - about 7 per cent of the global supply - is ‘renewable.’ Most of it is fossil water retained in lakes, underground aquifers and glaciers. For Canada’s 30 million people - about half a per cent of the world’s population - this is still a generous endowment. But, more than half of this water drains northward into the Arctic Ocean and Hudson Bay. As a result, it is unavailable to the 85 per cent of the Cana-

’ve mentioned the miracle of Sunday dinner before but it continues to work its wonders with my family so I’m mentioning it again. Just in case you missed it the first time. My Dad got sick and was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer just a few weeks before I got married in 2007. I moved onto the farm in August and we started our Sunday family dinners shortly after that. I can’t exactly remember the reason but it was wonderful to have family together on the weekends at our place. It was one day of the week that everyone could count on to get together and see each other and spend time with Dad. It was much easier on Mom that way too, so she didn’t have to worry about keeping her house ready for visitors when she was busy taking care of Dad every day. When he was given his terminal diagnosis on September 11th, and went through various bouts with chemo haze and mental fog due to all the pain medication, Sunday dinner became something he looked forward to. Almost as much as his daily marathons of Corner Gas, and his afternoon nap. The girls

dian population who live along the country’s southern border. That means the remaining supply, while still abundant, is heavily used and often overly stressed.’ Huh. Who would have thought right? Apparently Canada isn’t as water rich as we’d like to think. As I was sitting there, watching the documentary and absorbing all this information – people in Africa being charged for the electricity used to open taps daily that only expelled water once a week on average, people in villages letting shacks with children inside burn to the ground because they couldn’t afford to waste their ‘water’ tokens, polluted water in Mexico containing fetuses and dead dogs feeding crops downstream, etc. - I began to go into my typically ‘I should quit my job and dedicate my life to saving the world’ mood. Of course, I can’t do that because I have my own children to feed and clothe, but sometimes it seems like that focus in life is somewhat pointless if my kids aren’t going to have fresh water at the age of 50. An hour into the film, who should appear on screen? Ryan Hreljac of the Ryan’s Well Foundation. It really puts things into perspective. Even people from Kemptville can make a huge difference on the world stage. The first step is educating yourself.

One of the many joys of summer is watching dormant habitats come to life, such as this pond located just outside Burritts Rapids.
A challenge to your family from mine The Accidental Farmwife Diana Fisher
would laugh and tease each other at the dinner table and he would just sit there and smile at them, forgetting his pain for a moment. As we said our final goodbyes to Dad just four months later, the Farmer and I decided that we would continue Sunday dinners for the family. And truly, sometimes I think it’s the only way we would see each other. Because lives get busy and it is often difficult to schedule a get-together other than for special holidays and celebrations. We have dinner for about 20 people, on average, every single Sunday. The only time we cancel is if we are out of town for some reason. On those weeks I’m always afraid someone is going to show up just out of habit and no one will be there to greet them but the dog.
It’s like Thanksgiving dinner, every week. It’s no wonder I’ve gained 25 pounds since we married. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. People ask if it’s a lot of work and yes, it is. But it’s worth it. The Farmer does most of the cooking (of the meat, anyway). He loves to cook so he does it up big. You don’t have to have a smorgasbord every Sunday. People bring dishes to add to the table and you could arrange for that as well. Or just have everyone pitch in and order pizza, or Chinese. Make a big pot of spaghetti or a pan of lasagna. It doesn’t have to be gourmet. The point is you are together. When people are eating and drinking together, they relax and feel welcome, no matter what they are going through at the time. That’s another thing the Farmer has established: on Sundays there are no serious confrontations or grudges revisited. The white peace flag is up and the farm is a sanctuary where no one passes judgment or voices disapproval. Save that for Monday. Sunday dinners are not just for immediate family. We occasionally have hon-
orary or extended family members at the table. That’s a good thing, because if it was just the usual suspects every week, eventually we would start arguing and throwing food, I’m sure. Having the occasional special guest keeps us on our toes and exhibiting our best behaviour. In recent years my Uncle Pat has joined us for several dinners at the farm. At first it was just Easter, Thanksgiving and special birthdays. Then he and his lovely Christiane started showing up to join us just on a regular summer Sunday, when they could enjoy the farm and the pool. Pat’s big, booming voice broke out in laughter and song and he seemed to
really enjoy his visits when he was able to join us. Pat had a few health problems and he died fairly suddenly last week, at the age of 68. His wife has requested that we host a celebration of his life on the farm, because he loved it there. If your home isn’t big enough to welcome the entire family for a weekly or even monthly drop-in, look around and see which family member does have a house big enough and see if maybe you can offer to potluck the food and do the set-up and clean-up. It is worth the effort, I promise you. theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com dianafisher1@gmail.com

GARDENERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CORNER
Rain, rain donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go away Angie and I had the most delightful drive to Sydenham Ontario today. Neither one of us had ever been to Sydenham. It is located about 20 kms north of Kingston. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a charming village. We were on a mission. I had been contacted by WPBS TV in Watertown with a request for assistance. A couple in Sydenham lost reception of the station last October after a violent windstorm. They really missed the programing. Could I help out? The folks at WPBS know that I am a Ham Radio operator and build HDTV antennas in my spare time. The weather forecast was iffy. Scattered thunderstorms. When we arrived it was bright and sunny and I tried a few things to restore reception â&#x20AC;&#x201C; without success. I had one of my antennas in the back of the van and an extendable pole and some feedline. Time to climb the tower. I only got up about six rungs on the tower when we heard the first thunderclap. Thunder means lightning, and a 30 ft tower is not a good place to be. We waited for the storm cell to pass in their screened in porch and talked about gardening. They have an extensive garden. We talked about how the frequent rain weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been getting is just making our gardens explode with lush green growth. It got me thinking about the quality of rainwater versus water from treatment plants. It turns out that rainwater contains an extra molecule of oxygen. H2O2 ( hydrogen

peroxide ) and none of the chlorine or fluoride that is injected in a water treatment plant. That led me on a path to explore the benefits of hydrogen peroxide in gardening. It turns out that the single extra molecule of oxygen spurs growth and inhibits pesky insects and fungus. When you use peroxide as a topical solution on an infected cut it bubbles into a froth on the wound. The oxygen is killing the offending bacteria. Gardeners are using diluted solutions to speed up propagation times, increase a plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vigour and reduce pest infestations with amazing results. Do your research. When the storm cell passed, we had a window of about thirty minutes. We could see the next dark clouds on the horizon. It was just enough time to scale the tower and install the new antenna. A quick channel scan and we had increased the digital channels received by three. All three feeds from PBS. We decided on a leisurely drive home along the 1000 Island Parkway. You would think we were driving the coast of Ireland. Lush and green and extra oxygen in the air from another shower. Angie asked me if I was pleased with the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplishments. How could you not be pleased. We met some new friends, restored their beloved PBS, had a great drive in the country and learned so much about rain. Rain, rain, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go away.

Kodi Cumming ‘honoured’ with Youth Civic Award on June 22 Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
Kodi Cumming loves the Kemptville Kougars – so much so that when she was offered a paid coaching gig, she turned it down to continue coaching the Kougars as a volunteer. She has been coaching the girls U14 competitive team for the past four years and cares about the girls so much, they are all invited to her upcoming wedding. Her commitment to local youth sports landed her a nomination for the Youth Civic Award in Recreation, Sport and Leisure by one of her player’s parents. “I love the game,” said Cumming, following the presentation of her award. She explained she was shocked and honoured just to be nominated. “I am honoured and thankful for the support of the parents,” said Cumming. “Everyone is really awesome – the kids and the parents.” She explained she grew up in Kemptville and she’s been coaching the Kemptville Kougars for years. She used to play with Ottawa Fury and when she was 17-years-old, she won the North American Championships. “I wanted the opportunity to pass on what I learned,” said Cumming. “Tonight we continue the tradition of honouring local residents who have made significant contributions to the North Grenville Community,” said Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin. “Our first recipient is Kodi Cumming
in the youth category. This civic award is for her commitment to giving back to her community.” She explained the nomination stated in spite of her busy schedule, she exemplifies what a volunteer is and has positively impacted the lives of many young girls and their families. “She began playing soccer at the age of four and continued on to being a part of a national championship team at 16,” said Tobin. “She has been coaching the Kemptville Kougars competitive soccer team for four years and has shared her passion for the game with other young women.” She quoted the following from the nomination paper; ‘Kodi has done all this volunteer work during a very demanding time in her life, while attending university full time and achieving high marks, working to support herself and planning her wedding later this year. As a coach and leader, she demonstrates personal growth through challenges and instils in her players the values of hard work, discipline, sportsmanship, accountability and pride.’ “Because of Kodi, the young women she has inspired to have a top notch model to follow in giving back to our community,” said Tobin. “On behalf of the North Grenville community, thank you Kodi for being a community volunteer and example for our community youth.” Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND Cumming was presented the award by members of municipal council.

NGDHS graduates take home roughly 120 awards and $21,700 in bursaries Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
The North Grenville District High School 2015 graduates walked away from commencement on June 25 with roughly 120 awards and $21,700 in bursaries. “I am honoured to congratulate all the graduates for their accomplishments,” said principal Derek Cole. “This graduating class entered the new school (building) in Grade 10 and they were able to make that transition very successfully. This is a very caring group of students, who look after each other. The teachers care about them and show them empathy and compassion – it’s what makes this a great school. This is more than a school though – this is the North Grenville family. This is a particularly ambitious group of students and I’m sure they will go on to do great things.” “It’s a real pleasure to be here today,” said Superintendent David Coombs.
“I have been in education for 25 years and I have to say, three of the most satisfying were spent at North Grenville (DHS). A lot of things have changed in Kemptville over the years, including this building, but I always said, it’s not the building that makes a school – it’s the students. The board’s goal is a 90 per cent graduation rate and NG has already accomplished that.” “I would like to take a moment to congratulate you,” said Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark. “I remember a lot of the faces here from a Grade 10 Civics class I spoke to. I remember thinking, ‘I hope I get to see these students graduate.’ No matter what path you take, you’re going to do great.” “On behalf of the North Grenville Council, I would like to offer congratulations to the graduates,” said Deputy Mayor Barb Tobin. “It just struck me for the first time in 30 years; it just hit me why I am so excited to be here. Everyone is smil-
ing. Your teachers and family are smiling because they are proud of you and you are smiling because you are about to start the next chapter of your lives. I know the history books will say yours was the generation that moved tolerance forward.” “This is your day so enjoy it,” said Merrickville-Wolford Mayor David Nash. “On behalf of Merrickville-Wolford, congratulations. I want to thank the faculty here, who have a profound effect, as mentors and role models. I am glad to be here – it brings me back to when I was in school. I remember my parents got a letter from the principal saying I was illiterate and my father was absolutely furious; he said ‘that’s not true – we were married.’ My mom always said it doesn’t matter what you do in life; the most important thing is to choose a job or career you enjoy and do it with pride.” Each graduate was called to the stage to receive their diploma. Then the awards and bursaries were presented, including
extended French certificates, extended arts certificates, year IV awards, special awards, silver pins, Ontario scholars, top academic awards and gold pins. The Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario Volunteer Award and the Principal’s Award for Student Leadership were presented to Alaric Eamon. The Governor General’s Medal was presented to Rachel Surowiak. The Gold Pins were presented to Benjamin Harris and Rachel Surowiak. There were 26 silver pin recipients, which are given to students who achieve eight consecutive semesters with an average of 75 per cent or higher. There were 29 Ontario Scholars recipients, which are given to students who achieved six Grade 12 courses with over 80 per cent average. “I am going to be honest with you,” said Valedictorian Alaric Eamon. “My speech is in Mr. (Derek) Cole’s email.” Principal Cole then pulled the speech out of his pocket and handed it to Eamon.
“Quick disclaimer; I wasn’t going to write a speech,” said Eamon. “But then Mr. Cole said I had to, so I did it the way I do all my homework – at 11:30 the night before. My fellow graduates, I look out and I see a future of lawyers, doctors, politicians, mechanics and cashiers. Those halls at NG is where the majority of us became Knights. We made lasting friendships. We may have tried to burn down the old NG, but I swear I wasn’t there that day – my alibi still stands. High school was a stepping stone. When I look back, it was only four years of our lives, which is about the average amount of time a person spends with their finger up their nose in a lifetime. We’re now ready to take the next step. I’m supposed to make an inspirational speech, but all I got is follow your dreams – that’s the most important thing. We are all on our phones, laptops and social media all the time, but you just listened to radio for two minutes and you’re still listening.” Caps were then tossed in the air.

What should you do the next time the dentist tells you he or she is going to take full dental X-rays? A new study shows that just as porcupines make love very, very carefully, you should also take care to limit the amount of radiation exposure during your lifetime, particularly the amount children receive. Dr. Elizabeth Claus of Yale University reports in the American Cancer Society Journal Cancer, that there’s a link between dental Dr. Gifford-Jones x-rays and the risk of developing a brain tumour called a meningioma. These tumours grow from the meninges, the layers of tissue that cover the brain. Fortunately, most meningiomas are benign. Others are slow growing, but they can become lifethreatening when they become as large as a baseball compressing brain tissue. Meningiomas account for 34 percent of all primary brain tumours, can occur at any age and are twice as common among women as in men. Formerly it was believed that the main cause of meningiomas was ionizing radiation due to atomic bombs or radiation received during cancer treatment. Now, Dr. Claus says the main risk is dental x-rays. Dr. Claus and her colleagues studied 1,433 Americans who had meningiomas with 1350 others who did not have this tumour, but who were of the same age profile, sex ratio and geographical area. The researchers then analyzed the dental and medical history of both groups. For instance, they were questioned whether their dentist had ordered standard X-rays, known as bite-wings, every year, never, or now and then. Finally they were asked if they had ever had braces which involve full mouth X-rays. Dr. Claus concluded that those who reported having full mouth X-rays before 10 years of age were 4.9 times more likely to develop a meningioma. Those who had full mouth X-rays later than 10 years of age were three times more prone to this tumour. This should flash a red light for parents. So how can you avoid needless dental radiation. According to Dr. Claus all children who get braces today also get full mouth X-rays. None of my children had braces, but most of my grandchildren have had them. The question is how many of them really needed braces and has this practice become a fashionable trend. Is the risk worthwhile if only for cosmetic reasons? Never accept this rationale if a dental technician says, “Don’t worry, you get more radiation exposure from a day in the sun or flying to the Caribbean”. I agree that today dental X-rays expose patients to less radiation than in the past. But little bits of radiation mount up, particularly when one totals the exposure received from other X-ray tests. Radiation isn’t like an infection that’s cured by antibiotics. Rather, radiation is cumulative and, like an elephant, our bodies never forget the amount received during a lifetime. I’ve always worried about needless radiation and many years ago one of my columns made headline news. I discovered that some patients were receiving huge amounts of radiation from dental and other X-rays. For instance, some equipment had not been serviced for 15 years! This sparked a major investigation by the government. Dental X-rays are, of course, required for legitimate reasons. But like anything they can be overdone. So always ask if the X-ray is really needed. No one really knows how much radiation we can receive before it causes trouble. Ideally, we should all have radiation cards that show how much radiation we’ve received. Particularly since one of the major tests today is the CT scan that delivers large amounts of radiation. But hell will freeze over before such cards are in general usage. So what should parents do? I’d agree that markedly crooked teeth deserve to have braces as the radiation dose does not compare with a CT scan. But for lesser imperfections it may be prudent for parents to ask, “Should I subject my child to potential risk of radiation and a meningioma, and how important is it for my child to have the perfect smile?” R0013351166_0702
Ice crystal formation Associate Professor, Department of Food Science, University of Guelph
state. Even though heat is being removed, the temperature of the mixture does not change until all the liquid water is converted to ice. Since the effects of the heat removal are hidden from us and there is no apparent change in temperature, we call this heat removal, the “latent heat of fusion”. Ice formation begins with a few molecules of water being converted to ice and coming together in a process known as “nucleation”. All through the liquid, tiny ice crystals begin to grow. As long as there are water molecules present as liquid, we will have ice crystal growth. Once the last water molecules become properly oriented into the ice crystals, the temperature of the ice will begin to drop until it reaches the temperature of the freezer in which it is being held. The important thing to note in the diagram is the length of time between the start of the nucleation and the complete freezing of the water. This “Critical Zone” is the time period for ice crystal growth. Rather than forming many tiny ice crystals, larger ice crystals are growing from the nucleation sites. Unfortunately, large ice crystals can ruin product quality by drawing moisture out of the plant tissue, causing plump tissue cells to shrink or collapse. In order to ensure the best possible quality, we must get our fruits or vegetables frozen quickly so that they spend as little time as possible in the critical zone where ice crystal growth causes severe damage. The most efficient and practical way to speed freezing is to spread the material evenly on a tray or cookie sheet with spaces between the individual pieces. This works extremely well for berries since it allows heat to be removed from each individual berry more quickly than would be the case if you had a solid mass of berries in a sealed plastic bag. Once the individual berries are frozen on the tray, they can be transferred to a freezer bag which should then be sealed, and labelled with the date included. Larger objects such as beets, should be cut into slices prior to freezing to reduce the time it takes to draw out the heat and achieve the desired low temperature at their centres.
Freezing is a common form of preservation that offers considerable advantages for some foods compared to thermal processing that uses heat for canning products. Most fruits and vegetables retain much of their fresh flavour and texture when properly frozen soon after they are harvested. The real trick in freezing any food product is understanding the actual freezing process, and then taking every possible precaution to make sure that it is done right. As an important first step, you must begin with high quality produce. There’s no sense spending a lot of time and effort to freeze something which is sub-standard right at the start. Many fruits and vegetables require pre-treatments beyond just the usual washing and cutting. Be sure not to overlook or ignore any of these steps. Previously, we have looked at blanching as a way of de-activating naturally occurring enzymes that can degrade quality during frozen storage. Peaches and other fruits that are susceptible to browning may require dipping in a Vitamin C solution so that they retain their colour and flavour. Lemon juice or commercially available products can be used for this purpose. Now, let’s take a look at what happens as our food goes through the actual freezing process. The best way to do this is to consider a container of pure water placed in your freezer. We can then follow its temperature through the time it takes to completely solidify. In the accompanying diagram, the water starts out at room temperature and begins to cool as soon as it is placed in the freezer. The temperature drops over the first hour or so until it reaches its freezing point (i.e., zero degrees Celsius). At this temperature, we begin to have a change in state of the water from a free-flowing liquid to a rigid solid. A lot is going on at the molecular level that is not visible to us. While it was in its liquid state, the water molecules had no real organization relative to each other. However, in their solid state, the water molecules become arranged in a much more structured fashion, which The bottom line here is that you need to get all we refer to as ice crystals. In order to create the proper alignment, heat the water inside the fruit or vegetables into the must be removed from the water to overcome the form of ice as quickly as possible and avoid the transitional barriers between the liquid and solid unwelcomed growth of large ice crystals.

Eat healthy From page K4
Most yogurts today have probiotics added to them to offset stomach discomfort again. Yogurt contains probiotics naturally and there is no need to build extra flora for the digestion process to work properly in a healthy individual. The Juicing fad would have everyone living a liquid diet consisting of only juiced vegetables and fruit devoid of fibre! We even feel that cleansing our body is absolutely necessary for getting rid of toxins. The human body is the perfect machine (excepting for illness and disease). It will cleanse itself and digest foods creating energy to keep you going. It is built to withstand levels of chemical exposure. The human body is a cleansing machine. There is no daily chemical exposure build-up. Believing that detoxification occurs by following a plan from manufacturers is nonsense. Our culture is obsessed with food and health thanks to industry that wants to increase your consumption by 30 per cent. The more we eat, the worse we feel. The worse we feel, the more we look for a cure. The more we look for a cure, the more products we buy. This generation is facing an obesity epidemic that increasingly affects ourselves, our children and even grandchildren. Making wise food choices has become a mine field that promises to improve health, so why are we the most, unhealthy generation? It is human nature to want to control everything. It is a natural to improve everything, but popping pills and running with eating fads is a recipe for disaster. Obesity and Diabetes 2 are at epidemic levels with all our interventions and food fads. Humans think about food approximately 300 times a day. Our generation jumps into fad diets following extreme diet restrictions followed by extreme pigging out because we felt deprived. Then a brand new food-fad is introduced that will solve the problem. Once again the consumer jumps at the opportunity. This yo-yo dieting has become an eating disorder unto itself! Food manufacturers love it, because sales and demand skyrocket for certain food items. Drug companies love it because consumers suffer Obesity and Diabetes 2. Following a new food fad might be trendy, but having a panic attack because you are to attending a wedding where you might take two bites of cake is disordered. New diet fads always sound good. No singular diet plan offers perfection. No singular human will ever eat perfectly, so it is best to simplify eating by making it part of your real life and learning to live at peace with food. To live each moment obsessed with food is lingering on a disordered relationship. The search will never end if you are looking for the perfect diet. Expecting any food fad or medication to bring a magic solution is unrealistic and may even add to your health problems.

Roundabout clinic aims to stop confusion Submitted
Roundabouts sometimes cause confusion and frustration. “I hate roundabouts!” is a common statement, when the subject comes up. There are currently three roundabouts in Kemptville, with plans to build six more, along County Road 43, from the 416 to Somerville Rd., as funding becomes available. In an effort to alleviate some of the confusion and frustration, and to help prepare the residents of Kemptville for these changes, Save-Way Driving School is offering a Free Roundabout Clinic on

KWBSC Player of the week
Computer R0013337363/0625
This week’s player of the week goes to Wesley Finner. At age 10, Wesley plays minor baseball for both the Minor Grey Wildcats, and the Minor Kemptville All-Stars. In every game that Wesley has played this season he has had a multiple-base hit, and as a pitcher he is averaging less than one run given up per game. His favorite baseball experience occurred last season when he was a member of a minor baseball team that won the district region and finished third at the provincial championship. Away from the diamond, Wesley enjoys road hockey, basketball, playing Minecraft and of course hanging out with sister Chloe. Congratulations Wesley and best of luck in the remainder of the season including league play as well as district play-downs.
Saturday, July 11,2015 from 12-3 p.m. Tara Newton, and Scott Hutchinson, Professional Driving Instructors with Save-Way Driving School, will take groups of three through all three roundabouts, and demonstrate exactly how to negotiate them. Canadian Tire Kemptville is hosting the event, and anyone wishing to take part is encouraged to meet in the Service Centre waiting room at any time during these hours.

The Kemptville Wildcats Baseball and Softball Club held its 2015 Wildcat Summer Shootout last week. Here, Yonatan Gonsalaz of the NDG Lynx from Montreal gets ready to hit a single in a game against the Kanata Kubs early Saturday morning.
More than 550 players participate in 2015 Shootout tournament Dan Piche
The Kemptville Wildcats Baseball and Softball Club recently hosted Canada’s largest little league baseball tournament. With 44 teams making their way to our community over the past two weekends, this year’s version of the Shootout was once again a huge success. Teams from Quebec, Ontario and Northern New York state participated at Riverside and South Gower parks, while some games were played over at South Mountain, Winchester and Chesterville. The quality of baseball was second to none as some of the best players from these regions participated. Some of these teams will be vying for provincial championships and some may potentially compete at the national level later this summer. There are winning teams at each division: Minor - Orleans Red Sox Major - East Nepean Eagles Intermediate. At the time of publishing, the Intermediate, Junior and Senior finals were yet to be played.
Off the field, the economic spin-off of this tournament is positive for our community. With more than 550 players and families in town over two weekends, these families spent their time (and money!) in between games by going to local businesses whether it be to eat or shop. Jeff Underhill, owner of Shoeless Joe’s remarked that “these types of events are good for business as we’ll see entire teams come in for a meal with their families. The entire business community benefits as a whole.” Hosting Canada’s largest little league tournament would not have been possible without the organizers and volunteers. The KWBSC executive would like to thank all the volunteers who made this event possible, including executive members, parents of the Kemptville teams involved, umpires from District 2 who volunteered their time without pay, students who gave their time as part of their volunteer hours, and several KWBSC members who volunteered despite not having any kids involved for this particular tournament.

‘child-friendly’ event and is a great opportunity to introduce children to the interesting world of butterflies. The count goes all day until 4:30 p.m. and this is followed by a meeting, at 6 pm, for a compilation and potluck dinner. All participants are invited to the compilation and it is always a very enjoyable event with great food and fun interactions with a group of real enthusiasts. If you can’t make it to the compilation, arrangements can be made to get your data in sometime during the afternoon before you leave. There is a $4 charge to participants, to support the publication of the count results. No experience is necessary – the organizers will put teams together on Saturday morning and match up people so that everyone has a chance to learn from the experts. If you have binoculars and a butterfly net, please bring them along. Butterflies may be captured for identification and release. Rubber boots are recommended, as some of the sites have a lot of poison ivy, especially in the Burnt Lands. The rain date for this event will be Sunday, July 5 at 8:30 a.m. Call Jeff Skevington Friday evening at 613720-2862 if there is any doubt about the weather or for specific questions regarding this event. Ken Allison is a member and former president of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists and the Ottawa Field Naturalists Club.
Tan-coloured 1947 Oldsmobile with same owner since 1963! Fifty-two years ago, a teenager at Stayner Collegiate in Stayner, Ontario, became tired of riding the bus to school and purchased a tan-coloured 1947 Oldsmobile torpedo coupe with radio and clock from a local barber for $200. That teenager’s name was Russell Holt, and he still owns that same car today. He is also today the owner of The Lost Channel Inn near Britt, Ontario. As a teenager, Russell drove the car to school every day and also to school dances and proms. Then the car sat in storage for 22 years. He wanted to drive it to his 25th wedding anniversary and the 50th anniversary of the high school. He filed the points, installed a fresh battery and gas, and the old car fired right up! The car had seat covers when Russell bought it. He ripped the driver’s side seat cover but his mother very kindly sewed it up again. The seat covers have never been off. The car has an outside sun visor, and Russell installed purple sex lights up inside the sun visor when he was in his teens. These lights came off a ’55 Chev. He later took them off and his mother threw them out. He bought new ones from a junk dealer who also supplied him with 6-volt bulbs. Russell’s Oldsmobile now has 70,000 miles on the odometer since it was built new 68 years ago in Oshawa.
The first owner was a farmer near Harriston, Ontario, who sold it to the barber who later sold it to Russell, making him the third owner. Under the hood is a flathead six cylinder engine with 238 cubic inches cranking out a very respectable 100 horsepower. The transmission is 3-speed manual on the column. During World War II, civilian productions of automobiles had ceased in February 1942 and did not resume until late 1945. A big demand for new cars had built up, and some buyers had their names on a waiting list for a full year. You could order a new 1947 Olds in several colour choices: black, three greens, two reds, two beiges, two blues, two grays, and six two-tone combinations. The beige-tan finish on Russell Holt’s ’47 Olds looks just right! I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico. ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont.

Dealerships evolve to suit online shopping consumer trends There is no doubt that the Internet has made its impact on auto shopping. More and more consumers now complete a great majority of their research regarding a new vehicle acquisition online. However, unlike the rest of the goods and services retail sector, automotive retailers have experienced more challenges in adapting to the virtual world. Fortunately dealerships, both large and small, have adapted with interactive websites, rapid electronic responses to shopper inquiries, and online inventories that let their customers shop from the comfort of their home or office. There are even pioneers that are setting new standards in the car shopping experience. Consider Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, the makers of high performance electric cars. He has battled the established industry and various US state legislators and now is able to sell directly to consumers. This may not seem like much compared to how the rest of the manufacturer/retail world works, but in the automotive arena it is a very big thing indeed. One of the most glaring problems with online shopping is you don’t get the chance to touch, feel, smell, and/or operate the product you’re researching. While this isn’t usually a big drawback with regards to many household, personal, office, or recreational products;
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
it can be a deal-breaker with vehicles. Of all the customers, family members and friends I’ve known over the years, I can only think of one who didn’t need to road test a vehicle before buying it. This professional usually stuck to the same manufacturer and when I pressed him on his unusual shopping habits, he replied, “Why do I need to drive it? It’s new. Of course it’s going to be smooth, quiet, and trouble-free!” But for the rest of us, we need to see how we fit in the driver’s seat. How roomy it is for our regular passengers. How easy or hard it is to get things in and out of the cargo area. How it handles on the highway and how easy or hard it is to park. How will it fit in our garage (if at all)? For first-time buyers there is often a large and unpleasant disconnect when they first visit a dealership expecting to just hop in the model(s) of their
choice and take a spin. It’s not that retailers don’t like to show off and demonstrate their products with all the latest in technology and safety features, they really do. But even with all the changes and evolution in the auto buying process there are some factors that haven’t changed. Walk up to a total stranger and ask if he or she will let you take a spin in their $35,000 sedan in exchange for letting them photocopy your driver’s license and you can pretty much predict their response. Dealers are in the same boat except they have policies and processes in place to accommodate road tests. First an employee will take the time to review the vehicle’s operating characteristics on site before heading out for a drive. Then that person will accompany you on your ride, usually in the driver’s seat on the way out, then allowing you the controls on the way
back. Depending on your knowledge of the vehicle and how much driving time you need for your research; this can easily take more than an hour. This employee is usually paid by commission on sales so if you indicate you aren’t anywhere near the decision point in your trek, but are just still in the research phase, then you shouldn’t be surprised if you get less than an extremely co-operative exchange. None of this takes into account the fuel expended, the risk of damage to the vehicle, nor any distance that may be accumulated on the odometer. Most carmakers have a policy that restricts total travelled distance on a new vehicle to less than 150 km on average. After that it must be registered as a demonstrator starting its warranty clock ticking and reducing its value. So what’s a consumer to do? Many still hold onto the perception of dealerships as a high-pressure place to shop and there are stores that live up to this image. But there are also retailers that do their best to take the pressure and hype out of the sales process. How to find them? Ask friends, co-workers, or family members. Call a few stores and speak to a sales consultant; you can usually get an idea of how you’ll be treated in person after a short chat. Check out local rental agencies to see if they carry the make and model you’re
researching. Ask friends or neighbours if they’ll take you for a spin in their new vehicle (if it’s one you’re interested in), or you can be brave and ask that stranger. On Saturday, July 4, the annual Rockland Ford Poker Run hits the road once again raising funds for breast cancer research. It will start at Rockland Ford and is open to Ford vehicles only.

RELAY FOR LIFE 2015 Smiths Falls raises $47,900 during new six-hour event Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
This year’s Smiths Falls Relay for Life raised $47,900 for cancer research and funds are still rolling in. Anita Carley, community fundraising specialist with the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit of the Canadian Cancer Society, said it was a successful six-hour event, with a sock-hop theme. “We had more families coming out and a lot more children taking part this year, and I think that was due to the fact that we hosted a six-hour event this year,” Carley said. “Money is still coming in.” She said she hoped to see that number his $50,000 before the finaly tally. “We wanted to try the shorter relay this year, and we had some participants who really challenged themselves to go the distance,” she said. They are still collecting feedback from the event and want to enhance it next year. Lap beads were popular this year with participants earning a bead for every lap completed. “We were really pleased with the efforts this year,” she said. One of this year’s team hit the gold level status. “Cancer Kicking Cousins were the Gold Club winners, raising $10,477. That’s incredible,” Carley said. Overall, the society is down a bit from last year’s $59,000 total. “We’re still hopful that even more will be incoming from our online donations which is open until the end of summer,” she said. In her Lanark, Leeds and Grenville zones, the amounts raised were down all around, but in total, more than $193,000 was raised, with more coming in. • St. John Catholic High School’s youth rally raised $51,000; • Almonte-Mississippi Mills collected some $83,000 (which was down from more than $100,000 last year); and, • Brockville’s numbers hit just about $59,000 - down from $115,000 last year. They also switched to an indoor event this year. “It’s still an incredible number,” she said. “There are some areas that are still doing some fundraising so we won’t have the exact figures until sometime this summer. At that time, we’ll sit down with the committee and see what worked, what was great, what we can tweek and how we can improve next year.” The cancer society is already talking dates and times for next year. They are also looking for a theme.

The 2015 Ram ProMaster City (above) has been brought over from Europe by Fiat Chrysler Auto. The small cargo van is exceptionally civilized and quiet for a commercial van with a steel interior.

interior roof line. All ProMaster City vans are powered by FCA’s 2.4 L 4-cylinder engine rated at 178 hp and 174 lb/ft of torque. It’s mated to a class-exclusive nine-speed automatic transmission. On the road, the ProMaster City is exceptionally civilized and quiet for a commercial van with a steel interior. Road noises are minimal and the front strut and rear coil spring suspension was firm and comfortable providing very predictable handling. Acceleration is much better than expected and the extra large door mirrors (equipped with lower convex spotter mirrors) made up for the lack of rear and side glass windows. FCA has taken the opportu-
nity with this refreshed design to eliminate some features that have outlived their usefulness and logic. There is no ‘park lamp’ position on the headlamp switch, neither is there an accessory position on the ignition switch. Cargo doors and front doors lock and unlock with their own buttons on the keyless entry fob, allowing for more cargo security. The rear cargo doors are vertically hinged (for easier use and longer lasting mechanisms) and are split in a 60/40 configuration for access flexibility. The interior is rack and storage system ready as is the roof for commercial roof racks. The main benefit for barn-style rear cargo doors is that they can be
opened without trouble even if a long ladder or other load is mounted to the roof. Try doing this with a passenger van liftgate and you’ll be reaching for the touch-up paint as most liftgates rise higher than the roof line when opening. Like the entire line of Ram trucks, the ProMaster City is backed by a three-year/60,000 km basic warranty and a fiveyear/100,000 km power-train plan. If you’re looking to do the work of a full-sized vehicle in a compact package with affordable operating costs, then ProMaster City needs to be in your fleet. Yours in service Brian Turner

The vehicles I road test for these reviews (yes, it’s a tough job, but I’m willing to make sacrifices), come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local dealerships. I prefer to use dealership units whenever possible because they more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higher-end models. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturers’ websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. It’s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The 2015 Ram ProMaster City I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at Fiat Chrysler Auto (FCA). While many may think that small cargo vans are a relatively new import from Europe, these fuel-saving fitinto-tight-spaces platforms have been around for most of the automotive age with many of them produced on this side of the Atlantic. Fiat Chrysler Auto (FCA) has made the wise choice of bringing over a model that was originally designed as a cargo hauler rather than try to convert a passenger unit. With the Caravan arriving in a groundup re-design this fall, it’s unlikely it will continue to be offered in commercial trim. The ProMaster city has been sold in Europe and other areas around the globe as a Fiat Doblò Work-Up since 2000. Here in Canada it’s available in two basic formats; a cargo van with only two front seats and a wagon model with a three-passenger bench just behind the front seats. The ProMaster City starts at $28,495 and goes up only to $30,495 for a SLT wagon model. My cargo van SLT was priced at $29,495 (all prices before destination fees, dealer prep, licensing, taxes, or current incentives). Shoppers in this market are looking for economical purchase/operating costs, reliability, work capabilities, and flexibility. The ProMaster SLT matches the competition within a few hundred dollars on sticker price and edges out the fuel economy race with an 11.2 L/100 km city and 8.1 L/100 km highway rating. Like its bigger brother, the full-sized ProMaster, vulnerable body areas such as front and rear bumpers/covers have been built in smaller sections to avoid extra collision repair costs. In terms of cargo capacity this urban Ram is a clear winner with a maximum 1,883 lb payload capacity. Again it edges out the competition with a wider floor and taller

I was not a fan of Ted though it’s hard to ignore the fact that it was the largest grossing R rated comedy of all time. So I figured I’d give it another try with Ted 2, which begs the question, when will I learn? As Ted 2 begins we find John (Mark Wahlberg) is divorced, but Ted (Seth McFarlane) and TamiLynn (Jessica Barth) are getting married. It’s a joyous occasion as one might imagine when a grown woman marries a talking teddy bear. Fast forward a year later, and things are tense between Ted and Tami-Lynn. They’re fighting all the time until it dawns on them that having a baby will fix everything. Due to certain health issues artifi-
My Take
and despite all logic and common sense, are in this film. It is a cool touch to find an excuse to have Patrick Warburton and Michael Dorn dress up as The Tick and Commander Worf. Mark Wahlberg has proven once again he can do comedy. I’d like to see him do something other than play second fiddle to a talking teddy bear, but I guess his agent knows best. Seth McFarlane writes, directs and is the voice of Ted. It’s therefore no surprise that Ted sounds and acts just like Peter Griffin. McFarlane is a one trick pony, but to be fair his one trick has been incredibly successful. If you’re a huge Family Guy fan you’re used to and already enjoy watching Seth McFarlane recycle the same jokes and bits. For you Ted 2 will be awesome. For everyone else you can save your money and just watch a couple of Family Guy episodes. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.
