Hospice offers training sessions for volunteers

Council requests OSEB program reinstatement

Volunteering is a special way of caring. The Beth Donovan Hospice is in need of volunteers. The qualities of a hospice volunteer include the ability to listen deeply, communicate effectively, deal with personal loss, emotional maturity, genuine desire to serve, available to give time on a consistent basis, culturally sensitive and respectful and commitment to the philosophy of the Beth Donovan Hospice. There will be volunteer training sessions each Thursday from Sept. 24 to Oct. 22, 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Merrickville District Community Health Centre, 354 Read St. in Merrickville. Pre-registration for the sessions is required. Beth Donovan Hospice volunteers provide emotional support, companionship and offer periods of respite for the caregiver. The focus is on caring, not curing, and on life, not death. For more information on volunteering, please contact Kealey Dunlop, volunteer coordinator, at volunteer@ bethdonovanhospice.ca or call (613)-258-9611 ext. 2.

Council wants the Ontario SelfEmployment Benefit (OSEB) program reinstated immediately. “The MTCU (Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities) is ending the Ontario Self-Employment Benefit Program,” said Mayor David Gordon. The municipality received correspondence from Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark, stating: “I’ve been contacted by many of you asking for an action plan regarding the reinstatement of the Ontario SelfEmployment Benefit program. During the summer, I would appreciate your support in having all councils in Leeds Grenville pass the motion that’s attached and copied below. I am also going to be asking the Eastern Ontario Mayors’ Committee and Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus to support this request.” The OSEB program was designed to provide unemployed individuals who are or recently have been eligible for Employment Insurance with income and entrepreneurial support while learning to operate a small business. Gordon explained in Leeds Grenville there is 83 per cent completion rate of the program over the past five

E-tourism panel helps local industry navigate digital waters Ashley Kulp

With new social media tools popping up frequently, it can be hard to choose which one is right for your business. A July 24 panel discussion at The Excelerator Business Incubator in Smiths Falls helped take away a lot of that guesswork. The event brought together a panel of four leading experts in the growing e-tourism industry, who shared their tricks of the trade with tour operators, restaurateurs, retailers, museums, maple syrup producers and other attraction/accommodation-based businesses. The discussion, moderated by Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Association executive director Anne Marie Forcier, featured Matthew Lee, senior researcher at booking.com; Dan Maccarone, New York City-based co-founder of production design company Charming Robot; as well as Kristina Mausser and Jeff Parks, co-owners of Kina’ole, a management consulting company based in Smiths Falls, specializing in digital strategy. Mausser said the concept for the panel began “as an idea, as all great ideas do.” She and Parks moved to town last October and serve up digital strategies to clients around the world. Their work takes them to Europe, the Caribbean and Mexico. “We wondered how we could help our local community…we want more people to come to the

area and fall in love with it as well,” said Mausser, who is from Ottawa but spent many summers on Big Rideau Lake. “We thought of a panel discussion to help all of you and bring our friends to the table,” she added. Maccarone, who is marking his 20th year in the digital world in 2015, said plenty has changed since he first started out, but “the same things that apply to big companies, apply to small companies and the same things that apply to start-ups apply to big companies.” Parks indicated that first and foremost, if businesses want to develop a digital presence, they need to find out who their users are and more importantly, take themselves out of the equation when creating online tools. “A website is not intended for you or like-minded businesses. It’s intended for people who know nothing about you,” he said, stressing that the product is important, but it’s ultimately service that sells people. Lee, who is based in Amsterdam and has previously worked at Amazon and Zappos, brought a different perspective to the table, as he has an international focus through selling hotels and accommodations online. “You do have to think internationally. Think outside of this community,” he stated. “… There’s a bigger world and how can you make yourselves more marketable to the world.”

that by doing research, “you start to build an understanding of who they (users) are.” The picture-posting app Instagram has gained popularity among travel companies and restaurants, Maccarone also pointed out. It proves a picture can be worth a thousand words. “You use amazing amateur visuals to attract people. It can be of a park or of a plate of food,” he said. “It’s about showcasing what your business is about and that gets people really excited on Instagram. While he loves Twitter, Maccarone said it isn’t always effective for marketing and promoting businesses. “The life of a tweet is about ﬁve minutes so think of the value in that for the promotion of your event or business,” he said. “I’m not trying to discount the value of Twitter, I think it has a lot of value, but it’s all about conversation and you have to be on it all the time. You could use it as a way to let people follow the event by posting pictures and video.” And forget about hiring someone to design a costly website. The panel indicated there are many free website templates out there today that will suit any business’ needs. Taking advantage of other tools out there instead of reinventing the wheel can also save time and money. Lee said accommodations are instantly bookable, 24 hours a day, seven days a week around the world with booking.com. Developing a website and a booking option through it may be more work than it’s worth. “There’s the potential of 30 to 40 million people every day having access to your property. It’s hard to compete and build that with a website. It’s a lot of money, a lot of effort and a lot of upkeep, but if you can use a vehicle that will do it all for you, then it makes it easier and makes you more accessible to

the public,” he said. “If you’re a small organization, how do you keep it up-to-date all the time?” added Mausser. “It’s a lot of onus on the business owner and that’s a lot of money to invest when it isn’t your primary business...It’s all about leveraging tools.” However, if you do have a website and wish to continue enhancing it, Parks said ensuring it is mobile friendly is a must. “That means that I can go to your website on my phone and I don’t have to zoom in. Everything is there and it’s clear and concise,” he explained. If you’re in the accommodation business, Maccarone said designing it for business travelers, planners and bargain hunters is also crucial. “Anything I design for people I check my ego at the door because I’m not the customer. It’s hard to wrap your head around that,” he remarked. “You aren’t the user. Just remember that when you’re building the website,” added Lee. Susan Fournier, executive director of Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation, wondered what advice the panel had on complaints posted online. Mausser said many people are quick to post negative opinions online as they can hide behind their phones or computers, but that businesses should always “be authentic and transparent with how you answer” a complaint. “Never get dragged down to anyone else’s level,” she said. Maccarone, who also owns a restaurant in New York City, said his establishment has received plenty of good reviews, but sometimes gets negative ones about bartenders or wait staff. “First off, ﬁnd out if the review is accurate and if it is, ﬁnd out how you can help the person,” he stated, echoing Mausser’s comments. “Being transparent and being honest is really critical.”

Mills Coun. Jane Torrance, who is also chair of Almonte Celtfest, wondered when to expand beyond an audience. “I know where our audience is, but should we go outside our area to bring our audience up or stay within it, where we know we’re getting day trippers, etc.,” she asked. “What should we use? Facebook versus paid newspaper ads or radio and TV ads?” Lee stressed that the first step is figuring out what the end goal is. “What do you want to do? Do you want to keep a consistent base going or grow somewhere else? It all depends on the goal of your company,” he said. Maccarone said traditional advertising is becoming a challenge as the digital world explodes. “There are fewer and fewer people who are buying newspapers and magazines or watching TV. To put it bluntly, they are going away (passing away) and a new generation is coming,” he explained. “Thinking about how you access your audience online is important.” He suggested utilizing bloggers as a method of advertising businesses and festivals or Ashley Kulp/METROLAND purchasing Facebook ads. “I wouldn’t waste my time on Twit- Susan Fournier, right, executive director of Valley Heartland Community Futures Develter or Instagram ads.

United Counties pass Official Plan; final approval up to ministry The following are highlights from the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville council meeting held July 23 at the county building in Brockville. A counties-wide Official Plan (OP) has been adopted by counties council and will now be sent to the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for final approval. The approval process could take six months to one year. The Official Plan has gone through an extensive process of review and public consultation over the past 18 months. “It was a lengthy process but a good process. We incorporated all of the input from the local municipalities,” said counties planner Sandy Hay. Open house sessions were held for public interest groups and councils. “There were three drafts over the course of the process,” he said. Three amendments were made to the plan prior to its approval. Counties chief administrative officer, Andy Brown called the amendments “clarifications of language used.” Once approved by the province, counties council will have approval authority for all local Official Plan amendments and updates. A counties-level OP is required by the province.

Corporate services director and treasurer appointed Bylaws to appoint a corporate services director and a treasurer were passed by counties council at the regular meeting July 23. The appointments follow the retirement of former treasurer and director of corporate services, Nigel White and the restructuring of the corporate services, administration and public works divisions. The restructuring and appointments were approved by the committee of the whole earlier this month. Kristen Argue-Hobbs has been appointed as the director of corporate services. Argue-Hobbs will move from the human resources manager position. Pat Huffman, who has held the accounting services manager and deputy treasurer position, is appointed as treasurer. Nancy McMahon will be appointed as deputy treasurer at the September counties council meeting. As part of the restructuring, the duties of treasurer and director of corporate services have been separated. Seven departments have been consolidated under the corporate services division. These include: accounting and ﬁnancial services, information technology, provincial offences, human resources, public safety, geographi-

verts on County Road 10. Les Shepherd, director of works, told counties council the Hagan culvert replacement will only require a partial road closure. The Crosby Creek culvert work will require full closure of up to 21 days in September. “Efforts will be made to shorten the length of a total closure,” he said. Hagan and Crosby Creek culverts were installed in 1968 when County Road 10 was reconstructed. The Crosby Creek culvert failed in May 2015 and required emergency repairs.

Commentary

Check on them

ealth officials and emergency responders were encouraging the public during last week’s heat alert to check on family members, neighbours and friends who are at greater risk of suffering negative consequences from the high temperatures and humidity. That’s a great message that could and should be applied to other areas in which certain segments of the population are facing increased risk due to conditions that are beyond their control. When it comes to financial vulnerability, it’s important to spread the word in order to avoid being taken as part of some scam or scheme. For example, many people throughout our coverage area have received phone calls from someone claiming to be in law enforcement and/or connected with Revenue Canada (which now goes by Canada Revenue Agency) and who tries to scare the caller into thinking that he or she has to run out and purchase prepaid credit cards in order to avoid being arrested for allegedly being delinquent on pay-

ing taxes that aren’t actually owed. The vast majority of people receiving those calls know right away that it’s a scam or suspect it’s not a legitimate call and hang up, but those calls would not be taking place if there weren’t a few victims out there who, for whatever reason, believed the threat was real and lost money in the process. So when phone scams like that are making the rounds, why not share the warning with people who are more susceptible to being victimized? Having that conversation could serve a useful purpose and prevent an embarrassing and costly situation from occurring. There’s a reason that police services continue to remind the public to be careful about deals that are too good to be true or to be bullied or scared into signing purchase agreements or sending money to someone with whom they have never dealt. Whether it’s oppressive weather or some other potential threat, checking on those who are at greater risk is a good practice to follow.

Quite a bit of ceremony involved in the day of thrashing Regardless what it said in the dictionary, everyone at Northcote called it “thrashing.” Threshing was a foreign word to the farmers who gathered at the homesteads this time of year to separate the grain from the chaff. To us five kids, the day was almost as good as going off to the Renfrew Fair. We didn’t go to school that day. Every hand was needed on the farm. Chores would have to be done before the sun was up on thrashing day, and certainly breakfast over with and the kitchen made ready for 15 or 20 men Mother would be feeding at dinner. Neighbours came when their own chores were out of the way, and they would gather in the barn yard, leaning on their wagons, smoking their pipes and passing the time until Mr. Briscoe with his team of horses pull-

ing the big thrashing machine came through the gate. And then it was time. Teams of horses would bring in the sheaves from the fields, feed them into the big machine, coaxed into action, once bright red, but now faded from the elements. The noise was deafening as the thrasher chugged away under the blistering hot sun. My three brothers worked right alongside the men, and I, when I wasn’t pressed into service in the kitchen, pulled a chair up to the window, looking out into the barn yard, watching

all our neighbours working as one. My sister Audrey had the job of keeping the granite pail of water filled to the brim, with shards of ice from the ice house floating on top. One tin cup would serve all who wanted to stop for a cold drink of water. In the house, the kitchen would be beastly hot. All night the big haunch of beef would be cooking in the oven. The day before thrashing, Aunty who came each year to help, would have turned out eight to 10 pies, and they would be on the bake table, already cut in four. All morning the kitchen buzzed with dinner preparations. The old pine table wouldn’t hold all the men, so three planks stretched across chair backs. The planks were covered with a thick quilt, and

then sparkling white flour bag sheets, all to take care of the overflow. Every last plate, cup and saucer, and every piece of cutlery was spread out on the two tables, and it was my job to go outside and into the dark hole under the

house which served as a cellar and was the bane of my existence, and bring up at least four different kinds of pickles from the swinging shelves. There was little formality back then. The full jars were put two to a table, with a big serving spoon at each.

urgency. God placed an overwhelming desire on my heart to help this young couple. There was no turning back. I had been a conference and event planner for the federal government for years, and once again, it was time to jump into service. I started preparing emails to all my musical friends and sent them out within a couple of hours. By daybreak, Jack Denovan picked up on my Facebook posting and offered to be the emcee for the event, which I gladly accepted. Since working together, Jack has become my Magic Man. That day, I also started the booking process of the Almonte Civitan Hall, where, several years ago, I wrote and produced five very successful murder mystery dinners as community fundraising events with the now-defunct Valley Players of Almonte. My hat’s off to the Civitan Club of Almonte. Then, I thought, why not hold a silent auction at the event? I prepared a poster and a covering letter to be hand delivered to several businesses in the Carleton Place, Almonte and Pakenham cor-

I especially want to thank those businesses who responded cheerfully by donating some really wonderful items for the silent auction, along with their good wishes to Bill and Casey. And where would any fundraiser go without the help of our local Metroland Media newspapers that reaches out into our homes in the Valley, and our fabulous radio stations Lake 88, Jack FM, Y101 and Valley Heritage Radio. Thank you, everyone, for helping me to build what I envision will be a wonderful day for everyone. Folks, if you have any time at all on Sunday afternoon, Aug. 9 (2 to 5 p.m.) I would encourage you to come out to the Civitan Hall in Almonte and enjoy some of the Valley’s finest music. One thing you won’t be is disappointed, and you will come away knowing that you have helped this young couple through a very dark time in their lives. Leslie Flynn Perth

Stay cool during extreme heat alerts

Triathletes put to the test

Submitted photo

Six area triathletes recently competed in the Lake Placid Ironman Triathlon, which included a 4km open water swim, followed by a 180km bike ride and a 42km run. The athletes above, include: Jenn Bonn of Smiths Falls, Corey Turnbull of Jasper, Zoey Jervis, Eldon Paisley and Kerri Choffe of Perth, and Phillipa Thompson of Kemptville.

Ontario’s Interim Chief Medical Officer of Health is reminding all Ontarians to protect themselves and their families from extreme heat this summer. Dr. David Williams is asking people to take simple measures to avoid heat-related illness as temperatures in parts of the province soar. Moving to a cool place and drinking plenty of cool liquids – especially water – is the best way to protect your health during extreme heat. Other protective measures Ontarians can take include: • Wearing loose-fitting, lightcoloured clothing and widebrimmed hats made of breathable fabric • Planning outdoor activities during cooler parts of the day or choosing indoor locations with air conditioning or outdoor locations with shade (tree-shaded areas can be as much as five degrees Celsius cooler than a surrounding, non-shaded area) • Taking extra breaks if you must do physical activity in extreme heat, removing gear to let your body cool off and drinking lots of water • Taking cool baths or showers • Keeping your home cool by turning off indoor lights; clos-

ing awnings, curtains or blinds to block out the sun; and using an air conditioner at the highest, comfortable setting (between 22 and 26 degrees Celsius) or if using a window unit, cooling one room where you can go for relief from the heat. “You can become ill if your body is exposed to too much heat and is unable to properly cool,” Dr. Williams stated. “That’s why it’s important to take the necessary precautions to remain cool while at home or outside.” Dr. Williams is also asking people to check on friends, family and neighbours regularly who may be at high risk during extreme heat. Those most vulnerable include infants and young children, older adults and people with chronic medical conditions like heart disease or diabetes. If you have concerns about any symptoms, contact your health care provider right away. Check with your local public health unit for updates on local air quality, the location of the nearest cooling centre, public pool and other information. “Ontarians can beat the heat this summer by taking extra measures to stay cool. Dress for the weather, keep your homes cool, shade yourself from direct

sunlight and drink lots of water,” said Dr. Eric Hoskins, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care. Other tips Never leave people or pets inside parked vehicles as temperatures inside can become extremely dangerous during hot days and reach over 50 degrees Celsius. Symptoms of heat illness can include dizziness, nausea and headache. If you, a family member or someone you know are experiencing symptoms of heat illness, immediately move to a cool place and drink liquids. Water is best. Extreme heat can also cause adverse health effects including heat cramps (usually in the legs or abdomen), heat edema (swelling of the hands, feet and ankles), heat exhaustion (characterized by heavy sweating, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and fainting) and heat stroke. Heat stroke is a medical emergency with symptoms including dizziness, confusion and an altered mental state. Call 911 or your local emergency number immediately if you are caring for someone who has a high body temperature and is either unconscious, confused or has stopped sweating.

Trip to watch ‘Canada’s baseball team’ summer treat far between. Ask the Toronto Blue Jays and their fans. Jays are the MLB team with the longest active playoff drought. Toronto hasn’t made the post-season since winning back-to-back World Series titles in 1992 and 1993. Do you remember Joe Carter’s three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning that won the ‘93 series over Philadelphia Phillies? It is one of the greatest moments in Canadian sports history. Jays’ supporters Following the demise of the Expos my father switched his allegiance to the Blue Jays. He retained soft spots for both the Indians and Tigers, teams he had seen play in person on many occasions during his lifetime. My son and I were slower to follow our father and grandfather mainly due to the long-time rivalry between Jays and Tigers in the AL. But we now back the Blue Jays. The only time we switch our allegiance is the few times they face Detroit during the 162 game season. Because Jays and Tigers are in different divisions they only play each other seven times, one series in each other’s park. What a shame considering the proximity of the cities and the hot rivalry that once existed between the ball clubs. These days Tigers play teams such as Kansas City, Cleveland and the Minnesota Twins 19 times each. Jays’ have a similar schedule against their East Division rivals including the Yankees, Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles. I am not a supporter of interleague play. But it appears to be here to stay. I would much rather see Jays take on teams like the Tigers rather than facing clubs like the Arizona Diamondbacks or San Diego Padres (among others) which happens from time-to-time. Inter-league plays often sees teams with no history whatsoever matched up. It doesn’t make sense to me! A few weekends ago Craig was here for a visit with Kathy and me. He told us he had moved his second week of summer vacation back one week due to circumstances at work. Craig said he was re-examining his options because of the change in dates. That gave me a spur of the moment idea. “Why don’t we go see the Blue Jays play if they happen to be home,” I suggested. My son smiled and nodded his approval. A quick look at the schedule revealed Jays were indeed at home during the week in question. To make things even more interesting they were playing two different teams in the middle of the week. Ticket options

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE

are far better for week day, night games than for weekend contests. Besides, in the heat of the summer it is much more enjoyable to sit in Rogers Centre at night than during the day when, during good weather the roof is open and the hot sun beams down. The night games suited us perfectly and we were able to secure excellent seats. Last Wednesday and Thursday we were in Canada’s largest city to watch the Philadelphia Phillies wrap up a short, two-day visit to Toronto and Kansas City open a four-game set at Rogers Centre. No, I don’t like inter-league play but at least the Phillies and Jays have some history. Especially their six-game World Series showdown in 1993. As I have mentioned the Royals are one of the best teams in baseball. They placed five players in the starting line-up for the American League in the recent MLB All-Star game in Cincinnati. The way they are playing KC appears destined for another shot at the World Series. Royals’ only championship win came in 1985 when they edged staterival St. Louis in the maximum seven games. Two years ago Craig and I journeyed to Toronto to watch our Tigers take on the Jays. We enjoyed games on back-to-back nights and Detroit won both. This time around we were hoping to see a Blue Jays sweep and, true to the script we had written for ourselves, they won both games. Strange turf When the Expos moved to Washington in 2005 Toronto became Canada’s only MLB city. Rogers Centre (originally SkyDome) doesn’t win rave reviews as a “fan-friendly” place to watch baseball. And the new artificial turf, installed this year, doesn’t appeal to players very much either. The field is partly comprised of trillions of rubber pellets from recycled motor vehicle tires. The turf provides some really strange bounces when a baseball lands on it. In Jays’ home opener in April, against Tampa Bay Rays, a visiting player had to have a pellet removed from his eye. Personally I like watching baseball at Rogers Centre. It is

cavernous but it has better sightlines than Olympic Stadium in Montreal (in the lower seats at least) and it is much brighter than the other domed stadiums I have visited over the years. Of course the roof means no rain outs and that’s a huge advantage. You know when you pre-purchase your tickets that the game(s) will be played no matter what the weather conditions. I highly recommend the experience. We went to Toronto by train which is a wonderful way to travel. There are good connections from Smiths Falls or Fallowﬁeld in west Ottawa. We

booked a new hotel near the stadium, which is right downtown. After taking a taxi from Union Station to the hotel we either walked or rode public transit to our destinations. Craig and I had one full day to ourselves before the Jays-KC match-up and believe me, there is no shortage of things to do in Toronto. We spent three enjoyable hours at the Royal Ontario Museum which is absolutely ﬁlled with outstanding exhibits. But the most exciting place to be was Rogers Centre when, in the hours before the trade deadline, Toronto general manager Alex Anthopoulos made some of the biggest moves of a busy week. Among several key acquisitions are star left-handed pitcher David Price (acquired from Detroit) and shortstop Troy Tulowitzki who was picked up in a trade with Colorado Rockies that sent shortstop Jose Reyes and three prospects the other

way. Tulowitzki combines outstanding hitting with excellent defence. The Jays decided to pull out all the stops in an effort to end their long playoff drought. We saw the newcomer make an impressive debut against Philadelphia. In his first game for Toronto Tulowitzki belted a two-run home run, added two doubles, drove in three runs and scored twice. “Tulo” as the fans have nicknamed him very quickly endeared himself to Jays’ faithful! Now, with Toronto closing in on a playoff place, we are excited about the final weeks of the MLB campaign. “Canada’s team” certainly has our support and we hope that come October the Blue Jays will be in the playoff mix for the first time in 22 years.

My son Craig and I are huge baseball fans. We follow Major League Baseball (MLB) religiously throughout the intensive, seven-month long season. As regular readers of this column know we are Detroit Tigers’ fans, partly because of our family connection to Chatham, Ontario (my wife Kathleen’s hometown) and partly because we have family living in Detroit and Michigan. Due to its proximity to Detroit (an hour away by road) Chatham is a hot-bed of support for the Tigers who are one of the most successful franchises in the sport, both in terms of recent onfield success and at the box office. Win or lose Tigers fill modern Comerica Park in downtown Detroit for virtually every game. After winning the American League (AL) Central Division title four seasons in a row and making a trip to the World Series in 2012 (San Francisco Giants swept that showdown) Detroit is struggling this season. The loss of two starting pitchers, including AL 2013 Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer and injuries to key players such as slugger Miguel Cabrera deflated Tigers’ campaign. Last week Detroit management decided to trade some of their top players at the deadline in order to acquire younger prospects as they embark on a rebuild. Tigers are far behind divisionleading Kansas City Royals who at this writing are the top team in the league and the second best in the MLB. Only St. Louis Cardinals of the National League (NL) has a better record to date. Royals were the AL representatives in last year’s World Series, losing to the same San Francisco team who have been so dominant in recent campaigns. Craig and I got the “baseball gene” from my late father Howard who was a lifelong fan. Dad was mainly a Cleveland Indians’ supporter and he thrilled to the team’s outstanding performances in the late 1940s and early 1950s. In 1948 Cleveland won their most recent World Series crown. Their only other title came way back in 1920. In addition my father and I (and my son) were big fans of the Montreal Expos, Canada’s original Major League entry. A group including former Expo Warren Cromartie is seeking to bring baseball back to Montreal but at this stage that seems a long way off. The city needs a new downtown stadium and that asset alone could take years to achieve. The New York Yankees aside, baseball dynasties are few and

Merrickville’s Canal Fest, hosted by the Merrickville Lions Club, took place Aug. 1 to 3 on the shores of the Rideau Canal. Popular Voyageur canoe rides were a hit, as was the arts and crafts on display from local vendors. Above, visitors to the canal watched the Voyageur boat load from the dock. Right, Voyageur guide Shirley Walsh unloads the life jackets for the group’s first paddle of the day on Sunday, Aug. 2.

Help prevent office theft, related crimes Theft just doesn’t happen at home and Lanark County Crime Stoppers wants individuals to be alert and stay safe at work as well. Here are some tips to help keep you safe at the office and elsewhere: • Keep your purse, wallet, keys or other valuable items with you at all times, or locked in a drawer or closet. • Check the identity of any strangers who are in your office – ask whom they are visiting and if you can help them find that person. If the person’s presence makes you uncomfortable, inform security or management about your concerns. • Always let someone know where you’ll be – whether it’s coming in late, working late, going to the photocopier or mail room, or going out to lunch or a meeting.

• Report any broken or flickering lights, dimly lit corridors, doors that don’t lock properly or broken windows. Don’t wait for someone else to do it. • Be discreet. Don’t advertise your social life or vacation plans and those of your co-workers to people visiting or calling your place of work. • Stairwells and out-of-theway corridors – Don’t use the stairs when alone. Talk to the building manager about improving poorly lighted corridors and stairways. • Elevators – Don’t get into elevators with people who look out of place or behave in a strange or threatening manner. If you find yourself in an elevator with someone who makes you nervous, get off as soon as possible. • Restrooms – Attackers can hide in stalls and corners. Make sure restrooms are locked and

only employees have keys. Be extra cautious when using restrooms that are isolated or poorly lighted. • After hours – Don’t work late alone. Create a buddy system for walking to the parking lots or public transportation, or ask security to escort you. • Parking lots or garages – Choose a well-lighted, wellguarded parking garage. Always lock your vehicle and roll the windows all the way up. If you notice any strangers hanging around the parking lot, notify security or the police. When you approach your car, have the key ready. • Check the floor of both the front and the back seats before getting in your car. Lock your car as soon as you get in – before you buckle your seat belt. Submitted by Lanark County Crime Stoppers.

Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit raises awareness about bats and rabies Bats are nocturnal animals and feed most actively two or three hours following sunset. Bats are efficient insect controllers eating about three times their body

weight. Bats typically have their babies in June and come August many of the young bats are looking for their own roosting sites. Many bats will roost and hiber-

nate in attics. Although bats are beneficial, they can carry diseases such as rabies and histoplasmosis, which can affect humans and animals.

It takes a whole community of committed people to make a community theatre run. And the Studio Theatre’s annual Volunteer Appreciation picnic brought them all together for a group “thank you” at the home of Penny and Reiner Silberhorn recently. The Silberhorns (standing third and fourth from the right, front row) opened their home and gardens for the event, hosting 50 or so of the theatre’s regular volunteers who act, direct, take tickets, build sets, serve coffee, and do the countless other things that make the Studio Theatre a success. No doubt you’ll spot your friends and neighbours in this photo...ask them about volunteering at the theatre and they’ll tell you it’s great! For more information about the Studio Theatre, its line up of shows and concerts, and volunteering to help, visit studiotheatreperth.com.

They may also transmit distemper and mange to household pets. Approximately three per cent of bats carry the rabies virus. The most common signs of rabies in bats are the inability to fly and resting in unusual places such as the ground or floor. It is important to remember many of the bats that get into our homes are healthy bats and are looking for a way out. If you find a bat in your home and are absolutely sure that there was no human or animal contact, try to confine the bat to one room by closing the door of the room. Open a window or door to the outside and then turn out the lights; the bat should fly out early in the evening. Be sure to

wear gloves and other protective clothing at all times when dealing with a bat. If you are bitten by a bat or if saliva from a bat gets into your eyes, nose, mouth or a wound, wash the affected area thoroughly and get medical attention immediately. Should you find a bat in your home and a bite is difficult/ impossible to determine due to the person’s age, or impairment contact your health care provider and the public health unit regarding treatment for rabies. Rabies can be confirmed through a laboratory test of brain tissue from the bat. Should the test confirm that the bat was rabid, the public health unit in consultation with your family doctor can provide

rabies treatment. Bat-proofing your house is necessary when the bats are entering the living space of your home. It is advisable to contact a pest management company or a wildlife conservation agency for assistance with bat-proofing your home. Rabies can also affect pets; to protect your pet from rabies it is important to vaccinate them. Rabies vaccination is mandatory in Ontario for domestic cats and dogs. The health unit in partnership with local veterinarians and municipalities will be holding the annual rabies clinics on Sept. 9 and 16. The cost is $20 per animal; please visit our website for more information.

The Station Theatre hosts Canadian premiere of A Little Princess Aug. 13 to 23 “From the far side of the world comes a little girl who has everything...to lose.” This is a direct quote from the summer musical to appear next week on the stage of the Station Theatre. And it captures perfectly the theme of the play that will delight audiences, young and old. A Little Princess is a new musical created by the talented team of William Brooke (book), Eric Rockwell (score) and Margaret Rose (lyrics). It’s the story of a young girl’s struggle between life’s harsh reality and the world of imagination. It also tells how the value of hope and friendship can magically transform a life, even when one is grown and become used to being solitary. Full of witty, charming and memorable music – the story is sure to tug at the heartstrings. The Smiths Falls Community Theatre (SFCT) is privileged to be given the Canadian premiere rights to produce this delightful script adapted from the muchloved novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Burnett is best known for her children’s books published just before and after the turn of the 19th century: Little Lord Fauntleroy, The Little Princess and A Secret Garden. The musical was originally produced by the Sacramento Theatre Company, Michael Lunn, producing director. For the SFCT’s production, director Lynda Daniluk has assembled a talented cast that is working hard to display the polished level of performance the show deserves. From learning the lyrics and music, to adapting to how people behaved over a hundred years ago, there is much to master. The large cast—with plenty of rewarding roles for younger, upcoming players and veteran actors alike—has by all accounts done just that. Sara Crewe (the “Little Princess,” played by Juliet Alfaro) is a spunky, resilient and creative 12-year-old who learns to adapt to a most difﬁcult life through the tutelage of the strict boarding school proprietress, Miss Minchin (played by Susan Parsons). When Sara confronts the news of the death of her father she uses her ability to create a story for her life challenges

The Station Theatre in Smiths Falls is preparing for the Canadian premiere of A Little Princess, which opens Aug. 13 and runs until Aug. 23. Above, several of the younger members of the cast, photographed in costume at a recent rehearsal, are shown above. From left: Susie Burtt, Maya Forbes, Lela Fox-Doran, Malcolm Forbes, Grace Lee and Brooklyn Johnston. and convinces herself that it is not true. While she accepts her changed situation at the school, she remains confident that she will see her father again. Her new-found school friends, some of whom resent her at first, end up doing their part to assist her in adapting to her humiliating new status. Despite the seeming sadness of Sara’s situation, the show is full of humour, hope and reflection often provided by the pivotal character of Ram Dass (played by Garrett Pipher). The catchy and memorable score and accompaniment is expertly managed by Rowena Pearl, who wowed audiences during the production of The Railway Children. Performances of the play take place at 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 13, 14, 15, 21, and 22; and at 2 p.m. on Aug. 16 and 23 (matinees). Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children/students (with ID), with

special group rates also available. Call the Station Theatre at 613-283-0300 for details and to order by credit card. Tickets may be purchased for cash at Special Greetings, 8 Russell Street East, online (smithsfallstheatre.com, via Paypal/Visa/Mastercard), and at the door for cash only (subject to availability, a half-hour before the performance). The Station Theatre, we remind you, is located at 53 Victoria St, Smiths Falls. We invite everyone to keep in touch with all our upcoming shows – like the Kubrick Classics kick-off to our Movie Nights Series on Sept. 18 and 19, and the Tales and Tunes show in our music series on Sept. 26 – by going to our website (above) or joining us on Facebook (Smiths Falls Community Theatre).

Don’t boat under the influence, Canadian Safe Boating Council warns Drinking and boating accounts for approximately 40 per cent of boating-related fatalities on Canadian waterways. To raise awareness and reduce alcohol related deaths, the Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) is

launching year three of an initiative called Operation Dry Water. Its goal is to discourage this dangerous practice. With the summer boating season in high gear, this is the perfect time to remind Canadian

boaters about the risks of drinking and boating. Combined with sun, wind, waves and the rocking motion of the boat, the effects of alcohol on the water can be greatly increased. “The CSBC, its partners and

sponsors would like, through this and our other initiatives, to raise attention to the problem of boating under the influence and to remind boaters not to drink and boat,” stated John Gullick, chair of the Canadian Safe Boating Council. Operation Dry Water will focus on the potential risks of drinking and boating, and remedies that are currently in place to discourage it. Federal statutes dictate that, whether or not your craft is motorized, you can be charged with Impaired Operation of a vessel under the Criminal Code of Canada if your blood alcohol level exceeds the .08 threshold. This

means you can be charged even if you are impaired while operating a canoe and a judge is able to, upon conviction, suspend your boating privileges. But that’s not all; it can get worse. Some provinces have enacted legislation where drinking and boating can affect your automobile driving privileges. In Ontario, for example, Bill 209 amended the Highway Traffic Act to also apply to “anyone operating or having the care or control of a vessel.” As such, anyone found boating with a blood alcohol level above .05, faces an on-the-spot automobile drivers’ license suspension.

Should the person’s blood alcohol concentration exceed .08, upon conviction, an additional suspension of up to one year can be applied. Operation Dry Water is aimed at reducing the number of alcohol-related accidents and fatalities on the water while fostering a stronger and more visible deterrent to alcohol use while boating. The end goal? To achieve safer and more enjoyable recreational boating. This initiative is made possible through support of Transport Canada’s Office of Boating Safety. Submitted by the Canadian Safe Boating Council.

Lanark Animal Welfare Society launches membership drive in February. Until recently they were living in a foster home where they were socialized as well as nurtured back to good health. Meanwhile they’re having fun with the staff and customers in Carleton Place at the Natural Pet Food Store on Bridge Street. The two sisters can and do act quite independently of each other. They may be adopted together or as a pair. Please meet these two young ladies.

All she needs now is a loving home where she is encouraged to exercise to help her shed another pound. She needs someone who is willing to play with her and get her some toys she can chase. It’s fun to have a play-routine with your pet. Maya will love you for it! Lavender Remember

about me before and unfortunately nobody came to adopt me yet. I’ve been at LAWS for a while now and have seen many of my fellow cats ﬁnd good homes. I am still hoping someone comes for me soon too. I am a friendly very clean and cuddly female tabby cat. I am very curious and would love to explore the world. Just thinking about lounging in a sunny location watching the birds ﬂy by and roaming your home freely makes me smile in my dreams. Hope it’s not just a dream; I am really worth the trip to LAWS. Please come I am so ready, are you too?

The builders of the forest leave behind vital legacy Tales from the Troubadour LyLe diLLabough

happen, the environmental, social and economic impact would be devastating. Enter the “forest builders.” Programs such as The National Capital Greenbelt (a protective area that covers certain parts of the City of Ottawa) the Lanark County and Ottawa Carleton Forests, the Woodlands Improvement Act and the extensive promotion of reforestation projects on the part of private industry and we still have amongst us what many can only just take for granted today. Trees! Add to this the extensive research and practical knowledge that came about as the result of education plus an abundance of sweat and blood and we can know just how it was that the elm trees were ultimately saved from extinction at the hands of the deadly Dutch Elm disease. And so on it goes. The thing that is so striking to me is just how close these men came to be to each other through their work and dedication to it. In 1981, the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) amalgamated their Lanark and Ottawa ofﬁces relocat-

ing them to Carleton Place. (Now the whole thing is gone) Men such as, dad, Jim McCready, Stephen Dormer, Peter Mackie, Allen Johnston, Mark Shaeffer, Hal Garrett, Les Billings, etc., began working together under one roof. Today, when I see those that remain of these men, the talk of the “old days” always brings a light to their eyes and a ﬁre to their voices. One man who had worked with my father during the ’50s and early ’60s in Dacre and Tweed came to the radio station in Renfrew Ontario where I was working and waited until I had ﬁnished my show just to see if I was indeed Murnie’s son. The look in his eyes was the same as the others. Many men never get the opportunity to leave a lot behind after they are gone. Some can work their entire lives but the results of their years of effort can’t be seen in a physical form or practical way. Carpenters can leave behind buildings and other objects that they construct. Writers can leave behind their writings, musicians their recordings and songs, painters their works, and so on. But many go into obscurity. A few years ago, I was traveling up near Fitzroy Harbour when I happened to notice an old rusted “Woodlands Improvement Act” sign that was attached to an old fence line. The pine trees there stood tall and strong and it was then that I realized that I was beholding one of dad’s forests – a place that we had stood side by side together some 30 years be-

fore and had planted many seedlings by hand. And I thought how my dad had left a tremendous gift behind; a living legacy standing tall and strong and rising up out of the earth. So this is how I know whenever I run into one of those men the reason they get this certain look or tear in the eye. It’s because they produced life through their work. They enhanced life in the forests

and they enhanced the life within themselves. No matter that the MNR gave up on that reforestation program years ago, what these men did can’t be taken away from them. Not until every tree they planted has been cut down. And that will never happen because their legacy has impacted enough people to ensure that the trees will always grow here in the Ottawa Valley.

Drowning preventable: Ontario docs Swimming is a favourite summer pastime, but Ontario’s doctors want to remind those spending time in or near the water that lifejackets and parental supervision of children should be top of mind. “Taking a swim in the lake or the pool is a great way to cool off from the summer heat, get a little exercise and have some fun. Parents and adults should ensure children are supervised while swimming or near water; and kids need to wear lifejackets at all times on watercraft. In fact, everyone – even strong swimmers need to wear lifejackets on a watercraft. Summertime is meant to be enjoyed – just be sure you do it safely,” stated Dr. Mike Toth, president of the Ontario Medical Association. Ontario’s doctors have six simple steps everyone can take to help protect children and themselves from drowning:

• Children playing near the water should be supervised by an adult at all times. • Children under five, or anyone who is not a strong swimmer, should wear a well-fitting lifejacket that is approved by Transport Canada whenever they are near the water. • Everyone should wear a well-fitting lifejacket that is approved by Transport Canada when in a boat, canoe or other watercraft. • Pool owners should install a foursided pool fence to keep toddlers safe from the danger of falling in the water. • Parents should be trained in CPR, especially if they live near the water or have a pool. • Swimming lessons are an essential part of drowning prevention and are strongly recommended for all children.

They were forest builders, tree specialist, and advocates of all things green, and they left behind them a living legacy. There remain in this area today a few men who were paramount in the effort to preserve and expand the forests of the Ottawa Valley during the later part of the 20th century. Some bore the title of forest technician while others had earned their degrees and ofﬁcially were called foresters. My father (the late Murnie Eugene Dillabough) was one of those men. He worked for the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources for most of his life and was transferred to the Ottawa area in 1969. He went there to take part in the reforestation of many private lands in the Ottawa Carleton Region. In short, he was to rebuild forests where they had existed naturally decades before. It may seem strange to some that forests in Canada might need to be saved, preserved and “rebuilt,” but it’s true nonetheless. In the early days of logging in the Ottawa Valley, it was thought that the harvesting of trees could go on forever. The truth is the entire Ottawa Valley area has been “clear cut” at least three times since the arrival of the ﬁrst Europeans here. By the early 1960s it had become abundantly clear that if something wasn’t done soon many species of trees and several forests in general would become extinct. Should this be allowed to

In 1903, David Dunbar Buick built the ﬁrst Buick automobile, a little chain-driven two-cylinder runabout with overhead valves. Billy Durant included Buick in his newly formed company, General Motors, in 1908. In that same year, Col. Sam McLaughlin of Oshawa began building cars with Buick engines. Our feature car is a 1912 McLaughlin-Buick Model 35 Touring currently on display at the Reynolds-Alberta Museum in Wetaskiwin with thanks to Justin Cuffe, the curator, for supplying details on the car’s history and the three photos shown here. This car was the successor to the Model 10, the main difference being a three-speed sliding gear transmission. The four-cylinder overhead-valve engine has 165 cubic inches. This car was purchased new by Mr. Charles F. Briggs, Oakville, New Brunswick, from the dealers Creighton and Ridley. The colour was battleship grey with black trim. It survived Hurricane Edna at Brigg’s Mill, New Brunswick in 1957. Murray A. Briggs of Woodstock, New Brunswick, the original owner’s son, sold the car to Asher D. Chambers of Caribou, Maine in 1958. Mr. Chambers then restored the car. Stan Reynolds acquired the car in 1971 for his Western Canadian Pioneer Museum.

Tom Cruise goes rogue in latest Mission Impossible blockbuster Action movies don’t usually require the actors to do a lot of ‘acting’. It’s less about making the audience believe in the emotional integrity of your character, and more about making the audience believe you can single handedly fight off enemy agents and save the world. Jeremy Renner, Ving Rhames, Rebecca Ferguson and Alec Baldwin are all very good at saving the world. For a good spy film you have to have a good villain. Sean Harris ia a great villain. Lane is ruthless, driven and convinced he’s justified. Harris nails it. Simon Pegg elevates this film to another level. Without Pegg you have a great action movie. With Pegg you have a great action movie that’s also really funny and has a lot of heart. Tom Cruise rarely disappoints on the big screen. He brings an intensity and a passion that’s undeniable. That combined with his insistance on doing all his own stunts makes these films incredible to watch. Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation is everything a summer blockbuster should be. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Young entrepreneur donates partial proceeds to Country Cat Sanctuary Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Finn Swale is no ordinary nine-yearold. Instead of playing video games and watching TV over his summer break, Swale got to work starting his own business; Finn’s Cat Grass. And the cats of North Grenville are eating it up.

I saw his cat grass at the (Kemptville Kinsmen) Farmers’ Market. I bought some for my own cat, who really enjoyed it. I told Finn to bring some in to the store for me to sell. AUDREY ROONEY

“I saw his cat grass at the (Kemptville Kinsmen) Farmers’ Market,” said Audrey Rooney, of Rooney Feeds Ltd. “I bought some for my own cat, who really enjoyed it. I told Finn to bring some in to the store for me to sell.” She said he brought in eight pots of cat grass, which sell for $2 apiece with 50 cents of every sale going towards the Country Cat Sanctuary (a no kill rescue). “He brought them in on a Saturday, with a poster, business cards and everything, and set it all up,” said Rooney. “He gave me instructions to water them every day and told me to put aside the $2 for him. I remember him saying ‘I can’t believe I’m going public.’” She said after posting a smile box

video on the Rooney Feeds Facebook page of Finn’s Cat Grass, people in the community started coming in to preorder pots. “Someone came in and said they wanted seven,” said Rooney. “They’re been selling out like crazy. We can’t keep up.” Swale began succession planting cat grass, to bring in large quantities at a time to Rooney Feeds. “Audrey donated a large bag of cat grass seed to Finn’s business,” said Liza Swale, Finn’s mom. “Every two days he’s planting more.” He’s already had to re-stock his cat grass at Rooney Feeds several times, due to demand. Finn’s Cat Grass is also available at the Kemptville Kinsmen Farmers’ Market every Sunday from 12 noon to 2 p.m., where people can meet the young entrepreneur in person. “People love it; cats love it,” said Liza. “I’ve had people send me pictures of their cats going crazy for his cat grass.” Starting a business is no simple feat. At ﬁrst, people didn’t seem too interested in Finn’s Cat Grass. But then he developed a pitch. “He started asking people who passed the booth at the farmers’ market if they had a cat,” said Liza. “He would tell them, ‘cat grass is good for their digestive system and general health.’ He sold out within 30 minutes.” She explained donating funds to the Country Cat Sanctuary was entirely Finn’s idea. “He’s using his share of the proceeds to buy Lego educational sets, which advances to robotics,” said Liza. “That’s why he wanted to start his own business.

Helping other felines Swale decided to save up all the money for the cat sanctuary and donate it all at once, at the end of the season. “Finn is nine, going on 29,” joked Rooney. “The ﬁrst time I met Finn, he walked into my store wearing rubber boots and denim overalls, hands in his pockets and said, ‘I’m Finn, I’m three and I’m a farmer you know.’” Finn hopes to continue his business into next year’s growing season. “It takes about one week,” said Finn, while discussing growing quality cat grass. He said he has no idea how much cat grass he has sold already, but guessed about 200 pots. He spends about an hour every week tending his cat grass. Finn said people should buy his cat grass because it’s local and it’s good for cats. When asked why he chose to donate 25 per cent of the proceeds from his business to the cat sanctuary, he said it’s important to support cats. “Because I love cats and it makes sense to support cats with a cat business,” said Finn. He purchases his own pots, soil and seeds for the business out of the proceeds. “It feels good,” said Finn, when asked how it feels to have his own burgeoning business. Finn’s Cat Grass is also available at B&H Grocer in Kemptville.

Bob Berrigan and his service dog Gus, during their visit to ‘More Than Just Babysitting.’

Jennifer Westendorp/ METROLAND

From front page

here, in Manotick, at a school called the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind.” His vision is like looking through a tiny tunnel with a foggy spot at the end. “Everyone has looked through a roll of toilet paper before,” said Berrigan. “That’s how I see everything. Only my tunnel is very foggy, like the mirror in the bathroom after you take a shower.” His retina is the reason for his vision impairment. “Some people, when they are blind, will walk with another person; other people use a white cane, moving it from side to side; and some people use a service dog, like Gus here,” said Berrigan. He explained being blind doesn’t necessarily mean he can’t see anything. “Most of us can see a little bit,” he said. He said he gets from place to place with help from Gus, a three-and-a-half-year-old black Labrador retriever. “I hold the handle and he guides me,” said Berrigan. “What a guide dog does – how we work together – he acts like my eyes. He sees things for me that I can’t.” Gus watches out for obstacles and takes Berrigan around them, to avoid tripping and getting hurt. “When we’re in a shopping mall and we have to go up the stairs, Gus will take me to the stairs and stops, so I can grab the railing without falling down or up,” said Berrigan. He said Gus can’t tell the difference between a green and red light at an intersection, so he’ll take Berrigan to the curb and stop. “Then it’s my job to listen for the trafﬁc,” said Berrigan. He explained Gus only takes him around corners on command; otherwise, he walks straight. “He’ll walk until I tell him to do something,” said Berrigan. He explained to the kids there are special laws in place to allow service dogs into stores, restaurants, taxis, airplanes and trains. “When you see a dog in a harness like this one, please never pet them,” said Berrigan. He explained petting service dogs distracts them from their job. “They really have to pay attention to what they’re doing,” said Berrigan. “If someone pet Gus before he brought me to the stairs, he could forget

to stop and I would go tumbling down.” He explained service dogs are just as affectionate as pets, but when their harness is on, it’s not OK to touch them because they need to focus. When their harness is off, however, people can pet them just like any other dog. “They love people so much,” said Berrigan. He explained he lives in the small town of Alexandria, where he and Gus walk a lot. He is not able to drive, but uses other modes of transport, such as VIA Rail. “When we are at home and his harness is off, Gus is my pet,” said Berrigan. “He doesn’t help me with cooking or cleaning; I had to figure that out on my own, but he does know to stay out of the kitchen when I am cooking so I don’t trip on him.” He said he loves Gus, who has been trained as a guide dog since he was a pup. “He is always with me, whenever I leave the house,” said Berrigan, who was born blind; a hereditary factor passed down through generations. “When I was three, I was playing with balloons at my birthday party and I would bounce the balloons up, but then I would be looking around for it as it came back down,” said Berrigan. “My dad knew right then.” He got his first service dog at the age of 40, when his vision had deteriorated to the point a cane was no longer a feasible coping mechanism. “I’m 58 now, so I’ve been working with guide dogs for the past 18 years,” said Berrigan. He’s had Gus, his fourth service dog, for nearly two years. His first service dog, Jasper, also a black lab, was retired at the age of 11. Berrigan’s second, Abraham, another black lab, died of cancer at the age of eight. His third service dog, Walker, a yellow lab, had to be adopted out because he wasn’t doing his job properly. Berrigan said Gus has the best memory of all his service dogs so far. He said down in the United States, they are training miniature ponies to be service horses for the blind. “Horses are very smart,” said Berrigan, “and horses live longer than dogs.” Berrigan is the secretary of Guide Dog Users of Canada.

Municipality receives $100,000 for repairs to Armoury Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

to restore the Armoury is estimated at $220,000. “Basically, we want to bring it back to its original look before it was a fire hall,” said Guy. “We want to keep with the integrity of its history.” He said the Navy League of Canada, who leases the building one and a half days per week and hopes to expand their programming, has committed to contributing $20,000 to the project. “The work will be spread out over the 2016 and 2017 budget years,” said Guy. “We’re hoping to do an official ribbon cutting following the restoration sometime in 2017.” He explained the restoration of the Armoury fits in well with the ongoing Riverside Park Revitalization project. “The Armoury is what greets people as they head towards Riverside Park,” said Guy.

“These projects will also help to create jobs while improving infrastructure.” The program is being delivered by regional development agencies across Canada, with the Federal Economic Development Agency of Southern Ontario delivering up to $44.4 million in southern Ontario. “The Armoury building is one we did an audit on back in 2013,” said Guy. “It required significant restoration.” He explained the municipality recognized the importance of the structure due to its location in the community and its heritage. “It’s important to keep it in the community,” said Guy. He said the funds will go towards brick re-pointing, new windows and a new front entrance, in addition to other minor repairs. The total project amount

The Municipality of North Grenville received $100,000 of federal funding for repairs to the Armory building on Reuben Crescent in Kemptville on July 31. The money is part of the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure program, for which the municipality submitted two applications. The first priority was the Armory building and the second was the Old Town Hall in Oxford Mills, next to Maplewood Hall. “We didn’t receive any funding for the Old Town Hall,” said Mark Guy, director of parks, recreation and culture. The government approved a total of up to $512,304 for seven projects in Leeds Grenville.

The other projects include a railroad tunnel in the amount of $275,000 for the City of Brockville, the municipal museum in the amount of $50,000 for the Township of Front of Yonge, the rehabilitation of the gymnasium in the amount of $30,000 for the Centennial Road Standard Church, the warehouse phase two in the amount of $26,704 for the Food For All Food Bank, the Maitland Trails in the amount of $18,000 and Domville Ball Park in the amount of $12,600 for the Township of Augusta. “I am pleased to be able to announce these projects that will help improve these community facilities in time for Canada’s 150th birthday,” said Leeds Grenville MP Gord Brown, who was on hand at the Armoury building to announce the $100,000 of funding.

Crawford remembered From page K4

Joyce got married Garnet was both his best friend and best man. Garnet loved to go fishing. Wilson tells the story of when Garnet, himself and Gord Turner, another friend, went deep sea fishing together. Howard caught a shark but was too afraid of it to take it off the hook so Garnet stepped in and did the job. “Later we caught red snapper and Garnet cooked it for dinner,” said Wilson. The two friends went on many excursions together and never lost their sense of humour. “We went to Silver Springs and the Church Street Station. Garnet got up on the bar and danced with the Can Can girls. He made the newspaper as the new attraction,” remembers Wilson. Another funny story, according to Wilson, was when Garnet’s children bought him a cell phone for Christmas. The two were sitting in Garnet’s yard in Florida. He said, “Watch this,” to Howard. Garnet then called his wife Beatrice on the cell phone who was inside the house. “He asked her to please bring out two beers.” He used his new cell phone and of course the call went up to Kemptville first and then back with a roaming charge of $18. “I had to share that story with the Kemptville Fire Department so they could bug him,” said Wilson. Over time, the Kemptville Advance prospered and grew. There was a second newspaper in Iroquois called The Chief-

tain. According to Bond, Garnet was direct. When he needed to say something, he went ahead and said it. “Garnet had hurt his foot during a fire call,” remembers Bond. “He had to file a report with the workman’s compensation people but he refused to take any time off or accept any compensation.” When he was berated by workman’s compensation on the phone for not taking time off he was told not to worry the compensation people had lots of money. “He replied to them that he knew they had lots of money as he had 25 employees and was paying premiums to workman’s compensation,” said Bond. “That was the way he was. He never did take any time off.” “We had a lot of good debates. He was always in on it. That is why it is called a brotherhood,” said Bond referring to the camaraderie enjoyed by the fire fighters. “He was always very proud of his uniform and respectful of the department.” Garnet Crawford was predeceased by his wife Beatrice (Kingsley). He leaves behind three children, Brian (Ann Patrice), Karen Bernard (Philip) and Connie Seguin (Roger), as well as seven grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren and his brother, Arnold. Funeral services were entrusted to Playfair & McGarry in Kemptville. Interment was held at the Kemptville Union Cemetery. Memorial donations to the Canadian Cancer Society were appreciated by the family.

years, resulting in 197 new businesses and 204 new jobs. “About 63 per cent of those businesses remain open today,” said Gordon. “This proves the program has been successful in Leeds-Grenville.” The resolution explained the MTCU’s position that entrepreneurial support is available from other service providers overlooks the fact it has not replaced the essential income support component.

He said North Grenville wants to see the OSEB program reinstated immediately. “This program has been successful in creating employment for people in Leeds Grenville,” said Gordon. “I know of several people who have gone through the OSEB program successfully,” said Coun. Tim Sutton. “It’s an important program for the community and it’s been very successful here. It was administered through the Grenville Community Futures Development Corporation.”

A resolution was put before council to recognize the value of the OSEB program to rural communities by requesting the MTCU to immediately reinstate the program until a formal evaluation – which must include input from delivery agencies and participants – is completed. The resolution also stated: “the Ministry ensure any changes to the OSEB program retain both the entrepreneurial and incomesupport components that have made it successful.” It was carried unanimously.

McFall says Leeds Grenville needs a ‘strong voice’ “It’s good to do the right thing,” she said. “For me, the Liberal Party represents a value system that tailors best with my own values – tolerance and the celebration of diversity. (Pierre) Trudeau was the last great statesman Canada had.” In her opinion, people need a hand up, not a hand out, to improve their lives. “People want their freedom, but at the same time, we have to stick up for the disadvantaged,” said McFall. “The main thing is being a strong and compassionate voice.” One of the items on the Liberal Party agenda is implementing a tax break for the middle class (income earners between $45,000 and $90,000 per year) and taxing the rich more, to continue providing social services to the disadvantaged.

Rediscovering the beach

took my kids to the beach a few weekends ago. When I was kneeling on the shore of the beach, digging a system of trenches for the water to ﬂow through, watching my children throwing mud around as though it were the greatest invention since sliced bread, it hit me that life is too short not to go to the beach. Laying in the mud, having sand ﬂung in my face, while struggling to make my trenches deeper and the walls more resistant to erosion, I realized it has been far too long since I played at the beach. Years, in fact. I never took the time – between working, errands, keeping the house up and the ever-evil task of laundry, I always reasoned a beach trip away. It was always too hot. Or too sunny. Or too something. The problem is we make excuses to avoid things we really want to do, to save the minute amount of energy we do have for things we feel need to be done. Well after rediscovering the beach, the days of focusing on needs versus wants (except when it comes to money) are over. After all, laundry can wait – it’s usually piled high after 48 hours anyways. What’s an extra day? The house never stays clean for more than 20 minutes, following the tornado of child play that strikes our location daily. And work is something I’ll be doing, likely till I die. None of it matters.

he August long weekend will forever remind me of the day we found out my dad was really, really sick. He had apparently been eating Advil like TicTacs all summer but ﬁnally gave in to the pain in his back August 1st and let us take him to the hospital. Of course, few doctors were available. The one that examined him told him he likely had a tumour on his pancreas. Then he left for the weekend. Dad said, “well, that’s it, then,” with a note of ﬁnality. He had just seen a friend die of cancer and that experience, combined with his extensive knowledge as a science teacher, had him diagnosing himself within minutes. Pancreatic cancer. He said he wasn’t interested in chemo, and fell asleep under the cloud of painkillers. The rest of us stood around his hospital gurney, in shock. The next few months are a bit of a blur. We were trying to get used to our strong, infallible father being ill, recovering from surgery, and undergoing cancer treatment, which he eventually agreed to.

JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION

What does matter, and what I am going to remember years and years from now, is not washing dishes in a timely fashion; it’s playing with my children. I never want to have to rediscover anything again. I want to never lose sight of the simplest forms of fun, like climbing a tree, running through a field to catch a rainbow, hunting for frogs at the creek, fishing for bass, heading out in the canoe, dancing (horribly) on the porch with my daughter and chasing my kids around whilst growling like a monster. I never should have forgot about the beach. I should have always made time for burying myself in sand and building castles. You have to be really careful as you get older – one day you might find yourself acting like an adult, when all you want to do is remain a kid. Don’t wake up one day and realize you forgot about the beach – the place we all remember spending entire summer days exploring. Having fun getting as dirty as possible, then washing it off with one quick dunk underwater. Searching for seashells and rocks. The trick to life is learning to be responsible without taking life seriously.

Stormy summer

From sun, to storm, to sun again; the last few weeks have featured some odd weather patterns resulting in beautiful cloud formations.

The cycle of life keeps on turning The Accidental Farmwife Diana Fisher

The Farmer and I were planning a wedding at the same time. Two weeks before the date we visited Dad in hospital and said, “We will videotape the whole thing for you.” He replied, “Don’t be ridiculous. I’m walking my daughter down the aisle.” Well, he did. He had to go home and take a short nap after our photo session and dinner, but he returned to dance with me, for half a song. My new husband took over when it was clear my father needed to sit down. All of these memories come rushing back, this time of year. Joy mixed with pain. We had Dad for just four months after his terminal diagnosis. The end came quickly, but we had time to say everything we needed to say. He held on for two hours as we stood around his hospital bed and shared

memories, our arms around him. Blessings and loss. How wonderful it is to turn and see my daughter now, swelling with pregnancy, pride and excitement. She keeps saying “it won’t be long now.” She is just seventeen weeks. I hate to tell her she has another twenty-three to go… She really, really wants to know the sex of this child. Anastasia is used to getting what she wants. I think it will be absolutely hilarious if this unborn son or daughter of hers refuses to reveal its gender before birth. Ha! She has an ultrasound scheduled for next week, followed immediately by a “Gender Reveal” party. This is the new thing. You arm your guests with sticks and have them circle a huge piñata that is hanging from a tree in the yard. Obviously you need to adapt this plan if it is in winter. Everyone bashes away at the piñata until it rips open and the candies pour out. If the treats are blue and green, it’s a wee lad in her belly. If they are red and purple (Annie hates pink), it’s a lass. I don’t think she has a preference. She is just so, so ready

to be a mama. At 23 she has been married three years already, a young wife. But she has also looked after children and worked in a nursery school for years. She is experienced, prepared, and ready. Pregnancy has created a calm over Anastasia. Ever anxious and energetic, now she favours naps and takes her time. She seems to have grown up over these past few months. Now when I think of the August long weekend I will think of Anastasia, in her billowing sundress, staring at the sunset. She is daydreaming of things to come. What will her life be like next year at this time? She will have a little crawler by then.

Anastasia and her grandpa were very close. She spent more time with him than any of his grandchildren. They respected and loved each other, without words. They just knew. And they loved spending time together. I like to think that my father is somehow involved in this. He is watching over or looking down, or his lingering energy and presence is somehow forming the way Annie will be raising this child. It just seems right. It’s the cycle of life.

George and Hennie Velema have added to South Nation Conservation’s (SNC) inventory of protected forests with a gift of a 40-acre significant woodland in North Stormont Township on Grant Road east of Dewar Road. Officiated by SNC chairman Doug Thompson, receipt of the Velema land was officially recognized at the site July 31. A ribbon and cake cutting were followed by tours of the property guided by George Velema and Jim Hendry, SNC team lead, property. Site features include: a wetland, a dug pond, and three distinct forest communities containing species such as White Ash, Sugar Maple, Balsam Fir and White Spruce. Land donations from the Velemas date back to 2003. The couple has now contributed a total of 140 treed acres to the public under the oversight of SNC. A former executive with Domtar Inc. of Cornwall, Velema operates a Christmas tree farm and devotes much of his time to reforestation. He’s a strong advocate of sustainable forest management. Thompson noted that SNC is pleased to partner with the township in protecting Velema Forest which he described as one of the highest points in Stormont County. The property is part of a ridge separating the South Nation River and Raisin River watersheds. “These areas are important to our communities,” Thompson said. “Protecting sensitive lands helps protect people andn property.” The parcel was donated under Environment Canada’s Ecological Gifts Program in which SNC participates. Eligible for landowner tax benefits, donations under the program help protect ecologically sensitive land. SNC is a member of the Ontario Land Trust Alliance which helps address societal and environmental needs by encouraging residents to consider gifts of land and conservation easements. SNC uses donated lands to improve forest cover, ensure healthy and safe waterways, and provide a variety of recreational opportunities. Last year alone, some 468 acres were acquired. “Programs promoted by SNC allow owners to protect beloved forests from future development,” Thompson said. “They can rest easy knowing their properties are in good hands, well managed and open for public enjoyment.”

Merrickville Fire Department trying to raise funds to outfit bush truck Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

The Merrickville Fire Department is trying to raise funds to turn its bush truck into a year-round response vehicle for off-road calls. “We acquired the bush truck about two years ago,” said Chief Bob Foster. “It’s a used vehicle and we’ve been customizing it as we go.” Currently, the bush truck, which is four-wheel drive, features a skid unit for fighting grass and brush fires, and a stretcher. “We’ve been able to build it up slowly,” said Foster. “We want to put a winch and push bar on the front end.” He explained the real need for the bush truck is to raise the platform in the box, to be able to store hoses and tools. “For the winter time, we want to take the skid unit off, put a cap over the box, a heater in the back, and a stretcher,” said Foster. Those modifications will make the bush truck compatible for winter, when the trails surrounding Merrickville, including Scotchline, became a popular route for snowmobilers. “So we’ll have year-round capability for off-road response,” said Foster. He said the trails surrounding Merrickville see heavy traffic in the winter and the MFD has to be ready to deal with any emergencies.

Merrickville Fire Chief Bob Foster stands beside the bush truck, used to respond to off-road calls, such as on trails in the area. “The trails here are well used and inter, in a welded plastic tank. It also feacreasingly so,” said Foster. “So we need tures a medical response kit. to be prepared.” The idea for a bush truck came folThe bush truck carries one ton of wa- lowing a series of grass fires in 2012.

“Fire fighters had to walk over a kilometer, carrying water and equipment, just to get to the fire,” said Foster. “We can now use the bush truck to get into tricky spots.” Earle – as the truck has been nicknamed following a mispronunciation of the term ‘rural response vehicle’ by a dispatcher – proved its worth on its very first call to a motorcycle accident in Carley’s Corners. “Fire fighters used this truck to get into the field,” said Foster. The MFD raised funds for the bush truck at the Merrickville Car Show on July 12, by selling hot dogs, sausages and beverages. “We sold 1,000 hot dogs, 700 sausages and I wouldn’t even guess the number of drinks,” said Foster. In total, the barbecue raised $3,700 for the bush truck. The MFD has a goal of $10,000, to pay for the needed modification, which they hope to reach following their next big fundraiser, a pig roast on Saturday, Sept. 12. The event will be held from 3 to 10 p.m., and will feature two pigs roasted on spits, beer, door prizes, a 50/50 draw and silent auction. It will be held at Mainstreet Restaurant in Merrickville. “Mainstreet is roasting one pig and we’re doing the other,” said Foster. “We’ll see who has the better recipe. It’s going to be a lot of fun.” Tickets for the event are $25 each

and available at Mainstreet Restaurant, and are also being sold by the volunteer fire fighters in Merrickville. For more information, or to purchase a ticket, call Foster at (613) 269-4000. “We’re hoping to raise over $6,000 with the pig roast, which will pretty much get us to our goal,” said Foster. “The fundraising is very direct. We have pictures of the equipment we need to buy.” He explained Merrickville provides the department with the necessities and the Merrickville Fire Fighter Association helps purchase other needs. “The village does a lot for us, so we try to pitch in as much as we can,” said Foster. “This fundraiser should finish the truck up, we hope.” The department consists of 26 volunteer fire fighters and one part-time fire chief. It features two pumper trucks, a ladder truck, a tanker, a rescue vehicle and the bush truck. The MFD is an integral aspect of the community because they are generally the first to arrive on scene for emergency patient care calls, including shortness of breath and absent vital signs. “The closest ambulances are in North Grenville and Smiths Falls,” said Foster. “We are fortunate because some of our volunteers have medical training and one is a paramedic. The majority of our fire fighters are trained in emergency patient care.”

GARDENER’S CORNER

EGADS!

That’s not an expletive, it’s actually an acronym for a condition common to gardeners. “Every gardener’s attention deflection syndrome”. Angie has been on holidays for two weeks and now I’ve retired from the nursery we have much more time for gardening. But we are both afflicted with EGADS. I’ll explain. Angie was on her way to get the loppers to limb up some rogue branches on our silver maple. On her way she decided to reposition the lawn furniture she had moved while I was mowing. Then she noticed the pot of portulaca on the table was dry. Water the plant. Then she noticed a gazebo bird feeder that would be perfect for under the maple she had started out to prune but the lid of the feeder needed repair. She asked me which glue she should use and if we needed to protect it from the elements. Got her the glue and some spray lacquer. “What was I doing?”, said Angie. “Loppers, Ang.” Back to what I was doing, cutting grass. Most people have a lawn, we have a green, a fairway and first and second cuts of rough. All cut at different heights. Where did I leave off? Right, beside the green. I was just about to climb aboard the lawn tractor and noticed the clothes line I had strung between two ash trees years earlier to hang a bird house. The tree was growing over the girdling line. Better fix that while I’m thinking about it. Off to get the wire cutters.

Next COW rescheduled to Aug. 10 Pominville said the next committee of the whole, scheduled for Aug. 4, has been rescheduled to Aug. 10, at 6:30 p.m. The regular Council meeting, also scheduled for August 10, will be held at 6:45 p.m. The COW meeting was rescheduled because it was a light agenda. Fire Chief promotes safety at cottages Paul Hutt, Fire Chief, said during the summer time, when people are heading out to their cottages, it’s important to keep fire safety in mind. “Just like with your home, it’s the law to have a smoke alarm on every level,” said Hutt. “Cottages also require carbon monoxide alarms on every level.” He said its important to check inside barbecue at the cottage if you haven’t been there in a while, to check for critters before firing it up. “Also, be sure to keep barbecue lighters away from kids,” said Hutt. He explained with the heat, power outages happen, so make sure to have flashlights and extra batteries available. “And call ahead to the local municipal offices to check if there is a fire ban in place before burning,” said Hutt. Coun. Onasanya discusses additional funding for KDH Coun. Frank Onasanya said there was recently a funding announcement from the provincial government stating small hospitals will receive an additional one per cent funding this year, including the Kemptville District Hospital. “That earned KDH an extra $162,800, which they will be using to improve patient care,” said Onasanya.

With the wire cutters in my back pocket I passed by the raised vegetable boxes. “ Oh, the beans are at their prime, better get some for supper.” Into the house for a big bowl and then picked green and yellow beans. Placed them on the kitchen counter and then thought, “What was I doing?” Wire cutters sticking me in the butt were a clue. Back to the ash trees. It was getting to be late afternoon. On the way back to the trees I noticed the quality of afternoon sun back lighting some new day lilies and a vibrant phlox. Can’t miss this window. Back in the house for my camera. Fifteen minutes later I had the photos and returned to extract the clothesline but first dig some potatoes for a potato salad for tomorrow’s family get together. We have Angie’s sister Anne visiting from Moncton. She is a gardener and is also afflicted. She calls it “rambling scatterbrain gardening”. Here’s the point. After breakfast make a list of things you want to accomplish today. When you come in for a cold drink, check your list. Check the list twice if your beverage is not suited to memory function. Yesterday was just a day of organized chaos. It was also one of the most rewarding days in the garden. Today we’ve had a soft sustained rain. Tomorrow it starts again. EGADS!!

Do You Want a Shock? High Cholesterol for a Longer Life? A recent medical tip to readers sparked a quick reaction. It reported a study that those with higher blood cholesterol lived longer! This is contradictory to everything we’ve been told for years. The Scandinavian Journal of Primary Health Care reported research that will shock millions of North Americans who ingest, faithfully, cholesterol-lowering drugs (CLDs). Scientists analyzed the cholesterol level of 120,000 Danish adults residing in Denmark. They discovered Dr. Gifford-Jones men age 60 to 70 with high levels of blood cholesterol showed a 32 percent decreased risk of death. Women fared better with a 41 percent reduced risk of death. To add more injury to the cholesterol theory, these researchers also discovered that higher levels of LDL cholesterol, the bad cholesterol, was also associated with a decreased risk of death. Even more devastating was the fact that low cholesterol in young people was linked to an increased risk of dying! But high triglycerides increased the risk of death. This isn’t the only report that has contradicted the widely held belief that we should all strive for lower and lower cholesterol levels. For instance, Dr. Harlan Krumholz at the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at Yale University, reported in 1994 that old people with low cholesterol died twice as often from heart attack as did old people with high cholesterol levels. Eleven studies of elderly people came up with a similar result. But researchers repeatedly tell me that reports that disagree with the current high cholesterol condemnation never get published nor make headlines. But there are more ways to end your days on earth than by coronary death. For instance, Professor R Jacobs from the Division of Epidemiology at the University of Minnesota analyzed 19 studies of 68,000 deaths. Jacobs and his colleagues concluded that high cholesterol protects against dying of respiratory diseases and gastrointestinal problems. In another study, Jacobs and Dr. Carlos Iribarren followed 100,000 healthy individuals in the San Francisco area for 15 years. They found that those who had low cholesterol at the beginning of the study were more often admitted to hospital to be treated for infectious disease. In its July 1992 issue, Archives of Internal Medicine reported a study of 351,000 men. This showed that low cholesterol levels were associated with increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke, liver disease, pancreatic cancer, digestive disease, cirrhosis of the liver and alcoholism. Of course, it’s logical for readers to question how a high blood cholesterol level could be an asset for longer life. After all, family doctors, cardiologists and television ads tell us over and over that lower blood cholesterol is the be-all-and-end-all solution to prevention of the nation’s number one killer, heart attack. Economists have a saying, “Follow the money if you want to find the answer to a perplexing problem”. The plain fact is that billions of dollars have been flowing every year to brain-wash doctors and the public about the virtues of CLDs, and this is not going to stop anytime soon. What should hit the headlines is that high doses of vitamin C and lysine can prevent or reverse hardening of arteries (atherosclerosis) preventing heart attack. The addition of lysine makes arteries stronger so there’s less chance of an artery rupturing causing stroke. Yet the medical establishment continues to prescribe CLDs with all their side-effects. They totally ignore this less expensive, safe and effective treatment available in both pill and powder form in Health Food Stores in Canada. In the U.S it’s available at www.mymedi-c.com or by telephone 1-844-871-0069. It’s incredible that the medical establishment doesn’t say, “Let’s take a critical look at this research. After all, these findings might be right”. But it won’t happen. Too much money is involved.in the marketing of CLDs and no money can be made from vitamin C and lysine since these natural products cannot be patented. I believe history will show that the use of CLDs is the most unethical and most dangerous experiment that has ever been conducted by doctors on mega millions of unsuspecting people. R0013400233_0806

Wildcats advance to finals The Kemptville Wildcats Minor All-Stars concluded their season with a bid for the District Championship last week. The All-Stars are a group of boys and one girl selected from children who play house league baseball for the Kemptville Wildcats organization. The team then competes in the District Playdowns for a chance to advance to the Little League Provincial Championship. Wes Cory, and his assistants Chris Finner, Todd McLean, and Kevin Leeder, coached the team. To prepare for the District Playdowns, the All-Stars participated in weekend tournaments in Kemptville, Cornwall, and Brockville, in addition to a playing a number of exhibition games. This hard-working group of kids demonstrated remarkable improvements over the course of the past two months. While they were certainly not a preseason favourite to compete for the championship, the Wildcats eventually became serious contenders with a lot of hard work coupled with a great “team first” attitude. In the playdowns in round robin play, the Wildcats lost a close game to Brockville in the final at bat and then defeated Prescott and Cornwall to force a three-way tie for first place with a 2-1 win/ loss record. A “runs-against” tiebreaker resulted in Brockville claiming the top seed and Kemptville, the number two spot. Cornwall finished third and Prescott was eliminated. Kemptville played host to Cornwall in the semifinal. It was an emotionally charged affair showcasing two different styles of play. Cornwall is patient at bat, in an attempt to force opposing pitchers to throw strikes, while Kemptville adopts a more aggressive attack at the plate. Little League rules require mandatory rest for

pitchers based on how many pitches are thrown in a particular game. To get to the semi-finals, the Wildcats had to extend Alex Mellon, Wesley Finner, and Aaron Mather into extra innings in round robin play. In the semi-final, knowing many pitchers were unavailable, Nathan Hay stepped up to throw the maximum 75 pitches in a fantastic performance. Great defence by players such as Ashley Mather and Kayden Buller helped the cause. Aaron Mather, Finner, and Evan Cory scored three runs each while Leeder crossed the plate twice, and Rhett McLean and Travis Ouellette also each chipped in a run. Even with 13 runs on the scoreboard, no lead is safe in Little League, and the game came right down to the wire. With the tying and winning runs on base, relief pitcher Cory struck out the Cornwall batter to end the game, 13-12. With only a few players eligible to pitch in the championship game, the Wildcats were decided underdogs but certainly did not back down. Mather and Rhett McLean handled the pitching duties. Finner and Cory each scored two runs. The highlight of the season came in the fifth inning as the Wildcats were attempting a comeback rally. With two strikes against him, Mellon cracked a homerun 10 yards over the centerfield fence. The joyous Kemptville bench emptied onto the field to meet their teammate at home plate as fans from both Kemptville and Brockville heartily cheered the amazing feat. In the end, the Brockville Braves defeated the Kemptville Wildcats 10-5 but no tears were shed as the Kemptville team felt satisfied in playing their best. The Wildcats pre-season goals were to improve every day and to have a lot of fun: mission accomplished!

Alyscha Taylor brings world class cheerleading to Kemptville Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Cheerleading is a passion. “I started cheerleading when I was eight years old,” said Alyscha Taylor. “I fell in love with it – I was hooked. I knew right then this is what I wanted to do with my life.” She recently started the KTC’s Legacy All Star Cheerleading program, based out of the Kemptville Training Centre on Van Buren Street. The 21-year-old Smiths Falls native, who got her start in cheerleading at Chimo Elementary School, is recognized by the National Cheerleaders Association. “I’ve been coaching for the past 10 years,” she said. “I started assisting classes when I was eight and found out I was better at teaching than doing. I liked teaching more, as well.” The KTC’s Legacy All Star Cheerleading program held an open house on Aug. 1 to promote their teams, including one geared towards younger kids (age five to eight), a junior competitive team (age eight to 14) and a senior competitive team (age 11 to 18). The junior and senior competitive teams don’t require past experience in cheerleading to join. “They’re going to be huge,” said Taylor. “The senior team is

going to be amazing – top notch. I have nine kids signed up who are national champions.” She coached a team last year that went on to claim the top stunt group and top pom dance at nationals. Two of her cheerleaders were also named top soloists in the whole country. “They won everything,” said Taylor. She said she chose the Kemptville Training Centre because it features a fully matted floor space. “We’re throwing girls 18 feet in the air,” she said. Taylor is now a cheerleader for the Ottawa Red Blacks. She said cheerleading is a sport, not girls dancing around in mini-skirts. “There’s a stigma that cheerleading is just a bunch of pretty girls dancing around in skimpy outfits,” said Taylor. “But cheerleaders are athletes; it’s a sport. Cheerleaders train.” She said being a great cheerleader is not about skill or ability, but rather presence and overall energy. “Being a great cheerleader is about just wanting to be on the team,” said Taylor. “Someone who is ready to be a leader at any time.” She said everything in cheerleader is about mind over matter. “If you think something is im-

possible, we’ll show you how to do it,” she said. All music and choreography are groomed to be age appropriate as are the uniforms. “One of the things we’re emphasizing is self-respect,” said Taylor, “by not showing your body.” Each team will meet two hours weekly to train, in addition to taking classes. “One of the reasons I wanted to get into coaching is so I could mentor young girls,” said Taylor. “Coaching is about empowering people. There is no other sport where you go cheer on other teams.” She said cheerleading is not just for girls and male counterparts play an integral role in the athletic feats of cheerleading. “I can make anybody a cheerleader, if they want to be one,” said Taylor. She said cheerleading is all about teamwork. “If someone on your team can do something, then you can do it, too,” said Taylor. “There is no animosity once you hit that mat.” She said cheerleaders are passionate about what they do. “You’re stuck for life,” she joked. She said cheerleading is something that will take off in Kemptville.

“This is something you won’t find anywhere else. “There’s no other sport like this around.” She said it’s important to make athletics affordable. “To join a cheer gym costs about $2,000 a year, not including the classes or uniform,” said Taylor. “Here it’s $1,000 a year, which includes everything.” The program for young kids, which is about having fun and staying active, costs $75 a month. The cheerleading program will teach kids jumps, tumbling, stunts, lifts and dance. “One of the things we do is the back tuck basket toss, where we link our arms to make a box and then throw one of the flyers (cheerleader) up in the air,” said Taylor. “That’s a level six stunt. We’re a level 4.2 team, so we can’t do that in competitions yet, but we can do it for fun. “I am hoping to bring the team up to level six so we can compete at the worlds. That’s the next step after nationals.” The new program will be run by Taylor, along with KTC owner Craig Brown and assistant coach Taylor Brown. For more information or to sign up, visit the KTC website at www. kemptvilletc.ca or call Brown at (613)-612-9171 or call Taylor at (613)-803-8555.

Bring summer indoors with fresh cut flowers from the garden Margaret Inwood

Fresh cut flowers, whether picked from our gardens or purchased from a store or farmers’ market, add beauty and bring the outdoors into our rooms. We often wonder if there is anything we can do to extend the life of these beauties. To keep your arrangement looking its best, for the longest time, follow a few simple steps. Start with a vase that has been cleaned with hot soapy water to eliminate bacteria and fungi and then rinsed thoroughly. Be sure to prepare the flowers properly. Cut just-opening flowers early in the morning and place in water immediately. Improve the vase life of flowers that ooze a milky “sap” (poinsettias, poppies) by immersing the bottom 5 cm of their stems in boiling water for 10 seconds before using them in an arrangement. Gently remove lower leaves from the stem so there will be none in the vase water. Before you put any flowers in the vase, recut the stems, removing 2-5 cm at an angle under water. You can do this in a basin full of water, or even by holding the stem and the blades of the shears

Master Gardeners (or kitchen scissors) under running tap water. Don’t crush or burn flower stems as these practices are of little value. Flowers in most arrangements collapse early because they are unable to obtain enough water to keep them looking crisp and fresh. Recut them under water to ensure that no air gets into the stems. If you live in a hard water area (you find white deposits in teakettles and on faucets), use demineralized water sold in supermarkets for filling steam irons, to make your vase solutions. Never use softened water in a vase solution as it contains sodium, which is bad for cut flowers. Flowers are living things, and like us they need food for proper growth and healthy color. Amazingly, you can provide much of what a cut flower needs with one of the following simple vase solutions. They contain acid to improve water flow in flower stems, sugar to help buds open and last longer, and a preservative to reduce growth of bacteria

and fungi. A recent issue of Fine Gardening Magazine documented an experiment they conducted to determine just that. Other than using plain water in a vase, they tried six other methods. These are: • 1 tablespoon sugar and 2 tablespoons of vinegar per quart of water • 1 tablespoon sugar per quart of water • 1 tablespoon sugar and ½ teaspoon of bleach per quart of water • 1 part lemon-lime soda to 3 parts water • 1 tablespoon Listerine per quart of water • 2 teaspoons “Floral Life Flower Food 300” per quart of water The result of the experiment was intended to prove what additives would extend the life of the cut flowers and maintain their quality for a certain length of time. “Floral Life Flower Food 300” proved to be the best and it can be purchased at a florist very cheaply. The best home remedy was the lemon-lime soda. The worst of all was the vinegar and sugar. If you are using florist foam as

an arranging aid, let it soak in the vase solution until it sinks. Do not push it down into the container as air bubbles will remain inside the foam and cause early ﬂower death. Insert stems carefully. The higher the temperature, the faster ﬂowers deteriorate, so

cut them early in the morning, when temperatures are cool, and avoid exposure to heat. Don’t place arrangements in sunny locations, near heaters or ﬁreplaces, or on top of television sets. Do put arrangements in a cool place overnight if you possibly can.

Alcohol, capsized boats, no safety equipment common themes this summer With summer underway, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is sharing some fatality statistics associated with two of eastern Ontario’s most popular summer recreational activities. Sadly, East Region has been particularly hard hit this year with five off road vehicle deaths and five recent drowning deaths. The OPP is reminding residents and summer tourists in the area to be focused on safe boating practices and

off road vehicle operation. A ten-year snapshot into boating and off-road incidents investigated by the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has revealed that capsized boats and lack of safety equipment have been the most common factors in fatal boating incidents while alcohol leads the list of factors in off-road vehicle incidents (ORV). Over the past ten years (20052014), 276 people have lost their

lives in boating incidents with 226 of the deceased not wearing life jackets. Sadly, many of these victims may have survived had they chosen to wear this important lifesaving equipment. “Our data could not make it any clearer that the risks to all and the consequences for some do not change from year-to-year when mixing boating and off-roading with alcohol or drugs, driving carelessly, and not being equipped or prepared to survive

an unexpected life-threatening turn of events on the water and on the trails,” said OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair, Provincial Commander, Traffic Safety and Operational Support. “East Region members of the OPP are committed to public safety and would like to remind everyone that we will be patrolling the highways, trails and waterways daily to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable summer. Safety is a full time job, don’t make it

Two child actors make professional debut at Classic Theatre Festival sional actors – with a cast that includes Classic Theatre Festival veterans Greg Campbell, Richard Gélinas, Alastair Love, as well as Alison Smyth, Scott Clarkson and Sean Jacklin – because “they’re like role models, they know what they’re doing, and this is a ﬁrst time for me. I’ve been doing a lot of community theatre where there’s not as much expected of me.” Both Miernik and Salter view Gloria as a bit of a bratty girl who exhibits a “don’t do it to me or you’ll get it back” attitude that she inherits from her parents, who are often involved in squabbles in what during the 1960s would have been termed a “broken home,” with ﬁghting, violence, and a father coming and going. “It’s hard on her so I think that is why she takes things out on Suzy,” says Miernik in reference to the main character, a blind woman who must, with Gloria’s help, fend off criminals who have invaded her home. “I don’t think she likes Suzy because she’s got all this stuff happening in her life, and now she has to help this blind lady and doesn’t want to do that, it’s not voluntary,” Miernik says. Salter agrees, and says, “She doesn’t have a lot of heart in her, and then she does things like rearranging the furniture on a blind woman. Sometimes Gloria sneaks around and tries not to let Suzy know.” At the age of 11, both Salter and Miernik hope for a future as professional performers. “I love acting because you get to tell a story and people will listen without being judged,” says Salter. “You can just be there having fun. Sometimes

people think it’s silly of us to be telling stories still because we’re almost teenagers soon, so there’s almost like a ‘grow out of it, you’re not a kid anymore’ attitude,” but she takes heart seeing actors in their 50s telling stories on stage as an occupation. Miernik started performing at age three, and “it felt really great. I had older people around me who made it fun and exciting. The first show I did was mostly songs, and I love to sing. I like taking on the roles of other people, thinking a different way and being a different person. About 95 per cent of the roles I have played are boys, so I like to be different and just get out there. I think people will like Wait Until Dark because it’s a thriller, like the stories people tell around a campfire.” For Salter, it was watching live theatre that got her hooked, and as soon as she took to the stage herself, “I was very happy, I knew I wouldn’t be judged because of how I look, because I am acting as someone else, so you can’t be judged as a person then.” Asked whether it’s difficult to play a nine-year-old, Salter laughs mischievously. “Not really, because sometimes I still act like I am nine, I don’t always act my age, I can be very goofy and immature sometimes, but when it comes to acting, I can be any age I want to.” Relating to a character who comes from a situation of family conflict and divorce is not a stretch for either performers, as they both know children who are going through such difficult situations. Salter says “some of my friends when I was young, their parents were divorc-

ing, and the kids were very upset, sometimes depressed, not always feeling on top of the world. I try to play the role like they would have felt.” Miernik chimes in that “there’s lots of kids my age who still have parents divorcing. A lot of kids, when I mention how I have great parents, I feel kind of sad when they don’t have that.” Both Miernik and Salter are huge Audrey Hepburn fans (she starred in the ﬁlm version of Wait Until Dark), and Miernik hopes to be either the next Hepburn or Anne Hathaway. Samantha Salter dreams of going to audition in

From the moment two child actors met in rehearsal this summer, they have become best friends who will be sharing the key role of Gloria, a spunky nine-year-old girl in the Classic Theatre Festival staging of the gripping Frederick Knott play Wait Until Dark, opening Aug. 7 and running until Aug. 30. For Perth’s Madison Miernik and Smiths Falls’ Samantha Salter, both aged 11, discovering that both wore green the ﬁrst day they worked together, their birthdays are one day apart, and they’ll be on the same hockey team this fall, were enough coincidences to seal the deal of a solid friendship and working relationship. They’ve also discovered they were in the same show with the Perth Academy of Musical Theatre a couple of years ago, but were too shy at the time to get to know one another. It’s a big step for the duo, who have appeared in numerous community theatre productions in Perth and Smiths Falls. But that’s all changed with the daily regimen of rehearsal with a professional company, with a director, stage manager, and actors from Ottawa, Toronto, and other parts of the province sharing in the task of bringing a play to life. Asked what they most enjoy about the new experience, Miernik enthuses, “You can’t even name a speciﬁc thing, it’s just all been so cool and you meet awesome people.” Salter agrees, adding, “It is so exciting to learn new things about the play and from the other actors. It’s really easy to learn off them because they act so well.” Miernik likes working with profes-

Toronto when she is older, adding “I’m hoping I’m good enough.” Her new best friend, Madison Miernik, reassures her: “You will be.” “You too,” Samantha says back. To see some of this area’s rising young talent making their professional debut on the Classic Theatre Festival stage, book tickets online at www.classictheatre.ca or call 1-877-283-1283. Shows run Wednesday to Sunday at 2 p.m., with 8 p.m. shows Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. Submitted by the Classic Theatre Festival.

Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health is reminding all Ontarians to protect themselves and their families against Lyme disease and West Nile virus this summer. Dr. David Williams is asking people to take simple measures to avoid being bitten by blacklegged ticks that can carry Lyme disease. If not identified and treated early, infection can lead to recurring arthritis, neurological problems, numbness and paralysis. “Ontarians should definitely enjoy all the province has to offer outdoors this summer. However, they should keep in mind that while outdoors, they can be exposed to Lyme disease and West Nile virus,” stated Dr. Williams. “Taking the necessary precautions to prevent tick and mosquito bites is the best defense against these diseases.” Reducing exposure to ticks is the best defense against Lyme disease. You can protect yourself and family by: • Wearing closed-toe shoes, longsleeved shirts and pants. • Pulling your socks over your pant legs to prevent ticks from crawling up your legs. • Wearing light-coloured clothing to

spot ticks more easily. • Using insect repellent containing DEET or Icaridin on clothing as well as on exposed skin, following the instructions carefully • Showering or bathing within two hours of being outdoors to remove ticks that can be on your skin but not yet attached. • Doing a daily full body check for ticks. Young blacklegged ticks can be as small as a poppy seed, so look carefully. Check children and pets for ticks as well. “As a public health physician, I know that Lyme disease is a serious issue. Our government is committed to protecting Ontarians from Lyme disease and other diseases carried by ticks and mosquitos. It’s important that all Ontarians take these simple steps to protect themselves while enjoying the outdoors this summer,” said Dr. Eric Hoskins, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care. Dr. Williams is also reminding Ontarians to protect themselves from mosquito bites to reduce their risk of getting infected with West Nile virus. Simple precautions to take include: • Using insect repellent containing

DEET or Icaridin on clothing as well as on exposed skin, following instructions carefully. • Wearing light-coloured clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and long pants. • Making sure screen doors and windows are in good repair to keep mosquitoes outside. • Eliminating mosquito breeding sites around your home by emptying standing water in ﬂowerpots and birdbaths on a regular basis, and getting rid of compost and dense, overgrown shrubbery. Most people who catch West Nile virus will experience fever, head and body aches, a mild rash and swollen lymph glands. More serious symptoms include encephalitis (swelling of the brain), difﬁculty swallowing and confusion. Adults 50 years of age and older and people with underlying medical conditions and/or weaker immune systems are at greater risk. If you or a family member are experiencing serious symptoms and health effects, or have concerns about any symptoms, contact your health care provider right away. Risk areas for Lyme disease in Ontar-

Tips for keeping your summer campfires safe Sitting around a campfire with family and friends can be a great way to enjoy Ontario’s beautiful outdoors. “Following simple steps for building, tending and putting campfires out can help save the beautiful natural resources that are abundant in Ontario. I urge you to be responsible while you’re enjoying your campfires this summer,” said Bill Mauro, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry. Here are some tips on how to keep your campfires safe: Choosing a site • Pick a site that is close to a water source and sheltered from the wind • Build your fire on a rock surface or bare dirt • Build the fire at least three metres away from logs, stumps, trees and overhanging branches • Make sure the fire is 15 metres away from buildings or tents Preparing the site • Clear a space about two metres wide • Remove pine needles, grass, leaves and twigs • Ensure you have a pail of water and a shovel to control the fire. Building your campfire • Keep the fire smaller than one metre high and one metre wide • Small fires are safer, easier to control and easier to put out • A small fire will also keep cooking tools from blackening and let you get close enough to cook. Stay nearby • Never leave a campfire unattended • If you start a campfire, make sure you keep it under control and put it out before you leave. Putting the fire out • Use the following steps to put out your fire:

• Pour lots of water on the campfire • Stir the ashes with a stick • Pour on more water • Repeat these three steps until the ashes don’t hiss, everything looks wet and no more smoke comes from the ashes. Fire safety tips for kids • Always have an adult supervise when you’re around a fire • Never play with matches or fireworks • If you see a fire burning with no people near it, tell an adult immediately.

One last tip – don’t forget the s’mores! Did you know • In 2014, 61.3 per cent of forest fires in Ontario were caused by humans. • During the camping season, Ontario experiences an average of at least one wildfire every day caused by an unextinguished or unattended campfire. • On average, more than 200 wildfires are started every year by people participating in recreational activities in forested areas.

RVCF welcomes Mattamy Homes as new conservation partner Mattamy Homes has made a major donation to the Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation’s (RVCF) Environmental Land Fund. The money is used to help secure environmental land for future conservation use by the people of the Rideau watershed in eastern Ontario. Mattamy, who recently acquired Monarch Homes, is upholding Monarch’s long and generous history with the RVCF that has helped bring 23 properties into public ownership over the past 15 years. These protected properties include 100 acres of wetland in the Richmond Fen, an island in Upper Rideau Lake and 125 acres of forest known as the Meisel Woods Conservation Area near Crow Lake. These conservation lands all have key environmental features like shoreline, wetlands and groundwater recharge areas that will be protected in perpetuity. Mattamy’s recent donation brings

Several vehicle recalls and buybacks making news of late If you’re the owner of one of the most popular pick-ups in the country, you may have questions regarding a recent news release about uncompleted recalls and a government buyback order. Just a reminder, my day job is at a local Dodge/ Chrysler/Jeep/Ram (FCA) dealership. On Friday, July 24, the US National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Fiat Chrysler Auto (FCA) came to a consent agreement on penalties and operating requirements regarding incomplete safety recalls. The vehicles involved were select 20092012 Dodge Ram trucks (1500, 2500, 3500, 4500, 5500 series), 2009 Chrysler Aspens and Dodge Durangos, and 20092011 Dodge Dakotas. The agreement included a record-setting $105 million (USD) fine, having an independent advisor overseeing FCA recalls for the next three years, and an order to offer to buyback vehicles that have not yet had their recalls completed. NHTSA took this action due to the delay in FCA supplying parts to their dealer networks to complete repairs. NHTSA reps stated they had verified complaints as recently as May of this year from consumers who still were unable to get repairs done due to parts delays for recalls that were over two years old. Local FCA dealerships have been flooded with calls and inquiries since Canadian media broke the story on Monday, July 27. First and foremost, Canadians should know that the agreement

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

announced is currently a US-only regulation. A spokesperson from the Canadian arm of FCA stated to the press that, “Although the consent order announced pertains to FCA US and NHTSA, FCA Canada is in regular communication with Transport Canada and will continue to work closely with Transport Canada officials.” In past situations such as this, automakers haven’t treated Canadian consumers any differently than those from the US, however Transport Canada does not have the legal clout that NHTSA does to force remedies and repairs. For anyone thinking this might be a goldmine in terms of trading up to another FCA or competitor’s product, NHTSA was very clear on the terms of the buyback offers. In their consent agreement they state that FCA will be required to “refund the purchase price paid by the first purchaser of the vehicle for purposes other than resale, less a reasonable allowance for depreciation, and not including the cost of modifications made to the vehicle after the first retail sale. FCA

US will additionally offer a premium of 10 per cent above the purchase price to any owner of an unremedied vehicle.” Vehicles purchased used or those that have already had their recalls completed do not apply. At the time of this writing (July 29) Canadian FCA dealers have not received any information from their manufacturer’s head office with details about this agreement. The best way for consumers to ensure they get notification of any recall or offer is to make sure their current mailing and email address is on file with their automaker. If you’ve received recall notices in the past (delivered to your current address), your file is most likely up to date. If you’re not sure you can simply call your dealership and provide them with your vehicle serial or identification number and they can verify the data online and make any corrections that are needed. If the hot weather hasn’t gotten to you yet, you can warm up your summer with some great auto shows this weekend. From Aug. 7 to 9 you can catch the Auto-Show Gatineau at the Parc des Cedres in Aylmer. Details can be found at www.autoshowaylmer.com. On Saturday, Aug. 8, the ADESA Ottawa’s fourth annual Classic and Muscle Car Auction and Show ‘n’ Shine rolls into Vars at 1717 Burton Road from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. (exit #88 off the 417). On the same day the second annual “Art of the Ages” Car Show and Craft

Fair lands in Cardinal (North of Highway #2 from Home Hardware to the Ingredion Centre/New Arena) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. And you can get lost in the ‘50s on the same Saturday at the Sandy Mountain Campground at 10152 County Road 43 in Mountain with their swap meet, cruise-In, and classic cars starting at 4 p.m. And finally on Sunday, Aug. 9, Volksfest “The People’s Car Show” comes to Embrun from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Embrun Blais Park and Arena.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 It almost seems as if something is working against you this week, Aries. It could just be your overactive imagination. Channel your energy into a creative project. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 You may get swept away in some lifelike dreams this week, Taurus. It may be difficult to discern when you’re awake or asleep. Don’t get carried away. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, a professional predicament may have you feeling as if you have been run ragged. Regroup, even if it means taking a few days off. This time away is just the remedy you need. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 It’s nearly impossible to stick to your schedule this week, Cancer. Too many things will pop up, and you’ll be spending your time juggling multiple responsibilities. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, your imagination may push you in the wrong direction this week. Daydreaming instead of getting things done is risky. Focus on the tasks at hand. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, your coworkers will come through in a big way this week. Make the most of this opportunitity to work together as a team, and it will pay dividends going forward.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, a little daydreaming can be good for the soul. Give daydreams their due time, but remember to refocus on real life as well. You’re up to a challenge you face this week. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, your schedule is about to clear up so now is a great time to take some time off. You deserve a break after buckling down for so long. Relax and enjoy yourself. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 You know what needs to be done, Sagittarius. You may not have enough manpower to get everything accomplished, so put out a few feelers to see who is up to helping. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, continue with your consistent approach to handling your many responsibilities. You’re juggling a lot these days, and you’re benefitting from your work ethic. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, adhere to your original plan this week, avoiding distraction until the tasks at hand are a distant memory. Your plan is reliable and sure to work. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 It’s nearly impossible to hide your emotions right now, Pisces. So why not share them and get some support from friends and family? 0806

Garnet Crawford laid down his line gauge and took off his printer’s apron for the final time July 18, 2015, when he passed away in Kemptville District Hospital with his family at his side after a brief but courageous battle with lung cancer. He was 84. Born in Marlborough Township January 11, 1931, Garnet Alvin Crawford was the son of Olive Mary Crawford (nee Ralph) and Howard Wesley Crawford (both deceased), and was one of six children. He was predeceased by Gordon, Lois, Orval and Phyllis and is survived by one brother, Arnold. Garnet was predeceased by the love of his life Beatrice Elizabeth Crawford (nee Kingsley) after 60 years of marriage and the loving father of Brian (Ann Patrice), Karen Bernard (Philip) and Connie Seguin (Roger). He was the proud grandfather of Christopher (Tina), Jason (Jenna), Matthew, Trevor (Kim), Jaime (Jason), Shallen (Jonathon) and Sarah (Brandon) and the fun-loving great-grandfather of 13. Garnet lost his father at an early age and moved into Kemptville with his mother and siblings a few years later where he lived all his life. He entered the printing trade as a Printer’s Devil right out of school and learned the profession so well that he went on to pass the exam to become a Queen’s Printer and work on Parliament Hill. His career took another turn when he purchased Advance Printing Ltd which he ran with his wife for 50 years earning many awards along the way including a Gold Quill from the Ontario Community Newspaper Association. Garnet met his wife Beatrice in a strawberry patch near Kemptville and they went on to share their lives together for 60 years. They travelled to many countries around the world but were always happy to return home to their cottage on the Rideau where they regaled their many friends and family with tales of their trips. When Garnet took off his printer’s apron over the years it was usually to put on his fireman’s uniform. He was a proud member of the Kemptville Volunteer Fire Department for 45 years, making many life-long friends and earning several community service awards for his many years in the department. His years as a fireman was one of his proudest achievements. His community service didn’t stop there, however, serving as Councillor and then Deputy-Reeve of Kemptville during the 1970’s, helping to guide the town through its many growing pains. But it wasn’t all work. Garnet enjoyed fishing and hunting and cottage life and was always quick with a story that never failed to hold his grandkids’ attention. His sense of humour was well known. Popi will be sorely missed. Visitation was held at the Brown Chapel of Hulse, Playfair and McGarry on Tuesday, July 21, with the funeral on Wednesday, July 22, and interment at Kemptville Union Cemetery. Garnet’s grandchildren acted as pallbearers with honorary pallbearers including Ken Hudson, Tom Blair, Howard Wilson, Gord Turner and Rudy Finzell. For those who wish, a donation may be made to Kemptville District Hospital or the Canadian Cancer Foundation.

On July 29, 2015 we said “So long for now” to a loving mother and best friend of Donna Lurtz and Dan Lurtz and cherished “Bubby” to Austin Adam Lurtz-Wiseman. Blessed are they who understand my faltering step and shaking hand, Blessed, who know my ears today must strain to catch the things they say, Blessed are they who seem to know my eyes are dim and my mind is slow, Blessed are those who looked away, I spilled my tea on the cloth that day! Blessed are they who, with cheery smile, stopped to chat for a little while, Blessed are they who know the way to bring back memories of yesterday, Blessed sre they who never say, “you’ve told that story twice today!” Blessed are they who make it known that I’m loved, respected and not alone, And blessed are those who will ease the days of my journey home, in loving ways. Thank you to the nursing staff and caregivers at Broadview Nursing Ctr. In Mary’s memory we ask only that you take a moment to extend an act of kindness to someone today.

Florence Catherine Boyle (Owens) passed away peacefully on July 24, 2015 at the West End Villa, Ottawa, Ontario at the age of 91. She was the daughter of the late Florence Mary Owens (Halpin) and Frank C. Owens. Catherine was a resident of Saint John until 2008 when she moved to her daughter’s home in Pakenham, ON. Friendly, outgoing, generous and strong-willed, Catherine was a devout Catholic; a graduate of St. Vincent’s Girls’ High School and Modern Business College. Her first jobs were at the City of Saint John in the Taxation Dep’t. and secretary to the Chief of Police. Catherine was very well celebrated by the auditors at Revenue Canada when she retired after 13 years of service, and was fondly nicknamed ‘Boomer’. An avid bridge player, long serving church choir member and soloist, ardent supporter for the Liberal Party, and volunteer for many charities, especially those supporting children, Catherine always found time to help her coworkers, friends and neighbours. She kept very busy with cooking, baking, knitting, sewing, embroidery, needlepoint and social events. Her focus, however, was always on her 7 children and 11 grandchildren (Allan, Stephanie, Danielle, Jennifer, Shawn, Matthew, Michael, Christopher, Sara, Aaron and Max) whom she carefully nurtured and loved unconditionally. Catherine put her talents to work in all aspects of her life by: volunteering to coordinate the United Way campaign at the Income Tax; by being a member of the executive of Westvale Park housing association and by whipping up a birthday cake if she heard it was someone’s birthday. Swimming was a favourite pastime – in the ocean, in SJ Aquatic Centre, in the Kennebecasis and pools. She won medals at the Senior Olympics. Singing was important to Catherine her whole life, especially in church and at parties. She sang and danced in the Knights of Columbus operettas during the war. Catherine loved to travel using the airline passes from her son, David. She flew across Canada regularly to visit her family and she also traveled to Mexico and Japan. She enjoyed Caribbean cruises with her sister, Frances and winter days with her sister, Betty in Arizona and Florida. Catherine loved to socialize with her cherished friends at Chapel Grove in the summer and go on shopping trips to New York. She is survived by her children Shawn Hayes, Pakenham, ON; David (Alison) Sonora, Mexico; Tom, Victoria, BC; Cathy MacLaren (Sean) Calgary, AB; Paul (Lynne), Quispamsis, NB; and Greg, Victoria, BC; sister, Elizabeth Owens, Fredericton, NB and brother, James F. Owens, Saint John, NB,11 grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. Catherine was predeceased by her son, Patrick; sisters Frances Flood, Kennebecasis Park and Patricia Coughlan, Edmonton; brothers William, Edward and George; sisters-in-law Margaret Owens, Jacqueline Owens, Joan Owens and Jean Owens; brothers-in-law George F. Flood and Hon John C. Coughlan. All are welcome to the Memorial Mass to be held at St. Peter’s Church, Clarendon St., Saint John, New Brunswick on Saturday, September 5th, 2015 at 11:00AM followed by a reception. Donations to charities of the donor’s choice would be appreciated by the family. Condolences/Tributes/Donations www.pilonfamily.ca

MORPHY, Leone – In loving memory of our dear Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Nanny, Sister and Aunt, who passed away August 7, 2008. We do not need a special day, To bring you to our minds, The days we do not think of you, Are very hard to find. Each morning when we wake, We know that you are gone, And no one knows the heartache, As we try to carry on. Our hearts still ache with sadness, And secret tears still flow, What it meant to lose you, No one will ever know. Our thoughts are always with you, Dear mother, your place no one can fill, In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still. Sadly missed and lovingly remembered by all your family
