Swastika painted in park Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Symbolism is powerful. The swastika is one of the most recognized symbols in the world. A swastika was painted on one of the jumps at the Riverside Skateboard Park in Kemptville. Mark Guy, the Director of Parks, Recreation and Culture was unaware of the swastika at the skateboard park when contacted on Aug. 4. He said graffiti is allowed at the skateboard park, but it must be tasteful. “I will inform staff and we will get it covered up immediately,” said Guy.

The swastika symbol is more than 3,000 years old, according to the Jewish Virtual Library. The term ‘swastika’ was originally the name for a hooked cross in Sanskrit. Throughout its history, the swastika represented life, sun, power, strength and good luck. The swastika officially became the emblem for the Nazi Party on August 7, 1920, at the Salzburg Congress. The swastika was transformed into what it is widely known as today - a symbol of Aryan power and Jewish genocide. The OPP are not investigating the incident. See K15 for pictures.

Three-year-old Molly Carmichael of North Gower takes a turn behind the driver seat of a fire engine on one of the many midway rides available at the 177th edition of the Merrickville Fair Aug. 9.

The financing for the waste water treatment system at Fetherston Mobile Home Park is in place. “Just about everything is in order,” said Kevin Loiselle, president and CEO of Clearford Water Systems Inc. “The financing is complete and we are in a position to get the ball rolling.” Construction of the state-of-the-art waste water treatment system is set to begin the last week of August. Loiselle noted the financing came through last week. “The real barrier was we didn’t have the funds to start,” he said. “That has been overcome. We have the green light and off we go.” He said materials have been ordered and the construction firm has been mobilized to get shovels in the ground promptly. The official ground breaking ceremony for the new waste water treatment system will take place Aug. 24. Background Construction of the system was scheduled to begin in the fall of 2014, then April 2015, then June, July and now August. See FETHERSTON page KV 3

Federal NDP leader Tom Mulcair, above, brought his “Ready for Change” campaign to the Crystal Palace in Perth on Friday evening, Aug. 7. Hundreds of supporters attended.

The NDP propose to save home delivery and keep Canada Post as a Crown corporation. tenac-Kingston riding include the Liberal Party’s Philippe Archambault and Anita Payne of the Green Party. In regards to the large sea of supporters, “Real change is happening,” Fenik said. “You have an extraordinary candidate here in John Fenik,” Mulcair said. He called the three-term mayor “a leader in his community.”

Also on hand for the event: NDP candidates Paul Dewar for Ottawa Centre and Margaret Andrade for LeedsGrenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes. Referencing the Maclean’s federal leaders’ debate the previous night, Aug. 6, Fenik noted Canadians saw the type of leadership Mulcair can bring. “He has the courage to stand up to

Prime Minister Stephen Harper,” Fenik said, “and he has the courage to win.” The local candidate praised Mulcair’s stance on the economy and jobs, on Bill C-51 (Anti-terrorism Act, 2015), and on the treatment of veterans and “the brave men and women in uniform.” “Tom Mulcair is demonstrating over and over again that he is a leader of principle with a plan to get Canada back on

Federal NDP leader Tom Mulcair was greeted by hundreds of supporters in Perth on Friday evening, Aug. 7, making an appearance at the Crystal Palace alongside local candidate John Fenik. “What an incredible energy!” Mulcair said, after arriving in an orange bus just after 5:30 p.m. Fenik introduced his party’s leader to the crowd as “the next prime minister of Canada.” “It is amazing to be at the Crystal Palace,” Mulcair said. “This (place) is gorgeous!” Leading up to the Oct. 19 federal election, Mulcair is the first party leader to visit Lanark County. Mulcair spoke in both official languages for roughly 15 minutes, outlining the NDP platform, which includes a plan to create jobs and kick start the economy. “As Catherine and I travel across the country, from coast to coast, the one thing we hear most often is that people want change,” he said, “and it’s not hard to understand why.” Catherine Pinhas is Mulcair’s wife. “Middle class families are working harder than ever before, but they are falling further behind,” Mulcair said. “Incomes are flatlining and household debt is skyrocketing.” He noted there are 200,000 more Canadians out of work today than when the last recession hit in 2008. The NDP leader called Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s job creation record “the worst since the Second World War,” and referred to his economic growth record as “the worst since the great recession of the 1920s.” “Clearly, Mr. Harper, your plan isn’t working,” Mulcair added. The NDP Party promises to impose a new federal minimum wage of $15 an hour. “There are 100,000 workers who are low paid under federal jurisdiction,” Mulcair said. He added his party would get rid of the Conservative income-splitting plan, “a scheme that only benefits 15 per cent of Canadians – some of the country’s richest families.” With Ontarians spending as much as $2,000 a month for childcare, Mulcair’s party is pushing for a Canada-wide $15a-day childcare program, with one million new daycare spaces. Other plans include bringing the retirement age back from 67 to 65, tax breaks to small- and medium-sized businesses, and protecting and defending Canadian farmers and “our supply management system,” Mulcair said.

Pamper your body and mind amid a tranquil country setting Saturday, Aug. 22 during the annual Loving You personal wellness day. Set to take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. along the grounds of Angels Roost Organic Spa (1731 7th Line in Beckwith), the event serves as a fundraiser for Lanark County Interval House (LCIH). What began as a smaller initiative with tarot card readings several years ago, grew into a full day of activities last year, raising $4,149.95 for LCIH, designed to indulge your spirit. Activities during the day include vendors offering a handmade craft market, jewelry, as well as foot pampering, vegetable market, reflexology and henna designs by Ann Gratton, who has been an artist for 19 years. Spa services (foot soak, massage and Reiki on the lawn are $15 each) and are all 15 minutes in length. Erin Lee, executive director of LCIH said the concept for the day fits in perfectly with the peace the organization tries to bring to women and children living in violence. “It’s all about self-care, it’s all about self-wellness and it’s about self-empowerment and your overall health and well-being,” she noted of the event. “It’s really great to have all of these services available in one setting.” “...And it’s (Angels Roost) is such a beautiful location. The setting itself really speaks to that kind of relaxed feel. Angels Roost continues to demonstrate support for us and we’re so grateful.” Have a personal reading in the ‘Enchanted Orchard’ with experienced card readers Lise Guignard, Leanne Dwyer and Suzanne Ritchie. Each will give 15-minute readings for $20. “(The demonstrations) provides you with the capacity to take a risk and try something,” Lee commented. “Go and do yoga and see if that’s really for you.” Visitors can also sample locally sourced homemade foods, organic teas and coffees, or explore your energy through Reiki. Live music, courtesy of Lanark Highlands’ Ali McCormick (10 a.m. to noon) and Cait Morton (1 to 3 p.m.), will filter throughout the grounds, so guests are encouraged to bring blankets

and lawn chairs to sit a spell. The craft market will feature vendors with wares ranging from homemade rugs, handmade parkas and other knitted items, to upcycled handbags, primitive signs, amber stones, jewelry and preserves, as well as artwork, pottery and natural soaps and bath products.

Happy trails as ATV enthusiasts have fun, raise money for charity Aug. 29 The 2015 ATV charity poker run will take place on Saturday, Aug. 29. The eighth It can bet a bit muddy, but annual event organized by the most participants wouldn’t Kroot family will cover 42 kiwant it any other way. lometres of trails in the North Tim Ruhnke

Augusta area. Registration will be held at 10101 Jellyby Road at Rocksprings Road from 10 a.m. to noon on the 29th. Each driver and rider makes

a donation of $15; in return, each person gets to collect a five-card poker hand along the way. The top hand gets a cash prize of $100; the second- and third-best hands receive $75 and $50 respectively. Additional poker hands can be purchased. Riders who are under the age of 16 do not have to make the donation. There will be plenty of door prizes, and barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs as well as drinks, chips and baked goods can be purchased at a canteen. The event started seven years ago after a group of people who would get together and ride the trails decided to try something a little more formal. “We might as well do it for

a reason,” said Carolin Kroot. Although the inaugural poker run raised a modest amount of money (about $300), the Kroots stuck with it and the event has grown into a major undertaking. In 2014, there were about 200 participants. “It gets bigger every year,” Carolin noted. “Everybody loves their four-wheelers.” Proceeds from the 2015 poker run will go to the Brockville and District Hospice Palliative Care Service, as they did last year. More than $5,100 was donated to local palliative care after the 2014 event. The MS Society was the previous poker run charity. In total, more than $17,000 has been raised since the inaugural run.

Kroot said she has already been getting calls about this year’s event. Even if conditions are a bit dry on Aug. 29, organizers are assuring riders there is going to be mud and water on the trail. “They love it,” exclaimed Kroot, who added some participants are known to go through those sections of the trail two or three times. In addition to appreciating the ATV operators who take part in the annual rally, Kroot acknowledged the landowners who permit the use of their properties and the businesses that support the event. For more information about the ATV charity poker run, call 613-926-2577 or 613-9261796.

Network provides vital information to stroke survivors If you, or someone you care about, has had a stroke, you probably want to know where you can get more information and help. Many services are available to help people who have survived a stroke, their family members and their caregivers but finding them can be a challenge. The Stroke Network of Southeastern Ontario, in partnership with the South East Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) and the SouthEasthealthline.ca, has produced an online database of services available to people with stroke. “During discussions with stroke survivors and their families, we repeatedly heard that they wanted to learn what services were available to people with stroke,” said Gwen Brown, regional stroke community & long term care coordinator with the Stroke Network of Southeastern Ontario. “We are very fortunate to have the services of the Southeasthealthline.ca to build on. Rather than create something entirely new, we worked with the SouthEasthealthline.ca team to pull information from the existing Healthline site into a ‘microsite’ of information specific to stroke.” “It is important to provide information about resources that will help individuals and families affected by stroke to work through this tremendous life change,” continued Brown. “We often hear about the need for information related to rehabilitation, transportation, community servic-

es, psychosocial support, recreation, adapted equipment, home renovation and income assistance. This site is designed to provide information on these topics and many others through a user-friendly format.” Launched in 2013 SouthEasthealthline.ca is the Information and Referral website maintained by the South East CCAC. “The site contains listings for nearly 5000 services and continues to grow,” according to Rebecca Phillips, information and referral specialist with the South East CCAC. “We are pleased to be able to work with organizations such as the Stroke Network of Southeastern Ontario to organize the information to meet the needs of their specific populations.” “SouthEasthealthline. ca has become the go to place for information about health and community services. We are seeing roughly 28,000 visitors to the site each month. In addition to information about community services, visitors can find careers, events and health related news all in one place,” Phillips added. To access the stroke section, visit SouthEasthealthline.ca and click on the Stroke Resources button. For people without access to the internet, staff at the South East CCAC can help you access the information you need by calling 310-2222 (no area code required).

Interesting times

ith the federal election campaign officially beginning two Sundays ago, it is already shaping up to be an interesting race in what is now called Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston as well as in the country as a whole. There’s still plenty of time to observe political fortunes rise and/or fall at the local and national levels prior to Oct. 19. Since the deadline for nominations is not for another six-and-a-half weeks (Monday, Sept. 28), the four candidates (as of last week) in the riding formerly known as Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston could be joined by others by the time autumn arrives. This election, in particular, has a good crop of candidates who will be formidable opponents for each other on the campaign trail. Perth mayor John Fenik, who just announced he’s taking unpaid leave to focus on his campaign, earned the local New Democratic Party nomination, while climate change advocate Anita Payne of Tay Valley, will be this riding’s Green Party candidate. They are joined by incumbent Conservative Scott Reid and Liberal

Philippe Archambault. With such a diverse group, we hope it incites good discussion during upcoming all-candidates meetings. However, it would be nice to see additional candidates from the younger generation. Come up with a list of 100 electors’ signatures and a deposit of $1,000, and you could take a shot at being elected to the House of Commons. One thing is clear at this point of the 11-week campaign: it’s not safe to assume this is a safe riding for the incumbent and the governing party, and it’s also not safe to assume that a challenger will win merely on the strength of her name or her party’s surging popularity nationally. We suspect they are fully aware of the effort that will be needed to achieve success in a shifting climate that could be blowing in a completely different direction by the time Canadians vote many weeks down the line. Congratulations to those of you who are sure of the outcome of the Oct. 19 election; most of us would only be guessing, which will at least make it interesting to watch as the campaign unfolds.

Much sought after cold cream was a precious luxury Goodness knows how many times Audrey took her hanky out of the washstand drawer, untied the corner, and counted her money. There were no ways to earn money back then, and it was only through the generosity of aunts or uncles that we children had any money at all. Uncle Lou always gave us money when he came to visit, and at Christmas time Aunt Freda would send a one dollar bill which was to be divided between the five of us. My brothers showed their Bantam chickens at the Renfrew Fair earning a few pennies, but none of us had what we could call a heavy purse! But Audrey had been squirreling away her pennies for months, because she was bent on making a huge purchase when she had accumulated enough. Although

Mother and Father frowned on wasting money, we could do what we wished with whatever we were able to gather together. And for months Audrey had been talking about buying what she considered to be sheer luxury. She saw it when she was at Ritza’s Drug Store one day, and couldn’t get it out of her mind. She even dragged me into the store one Saturday, even though I was so much younger and couldn’t imagine what was so exciting about what she was about to blow all her money on!

What got her all worked up was a jar of something called Pond’s Cold Cream. It didn’t look all that special to me. The jar was almost as big as a honey pail and inside was a pale yellow cream that Audrey was sure was going to do wonders for her skin. It had been written up in a copy of Mother’s Philadelphia Enquirer and said it was being sold worldwide. It was guaranteed to make every face ‘as clean as the driven snow’. My sister had cut out the clipping, folded it, and kept it in her shoe, and every so often, she would take it out and look at it. Well, the day finally came when Audrey had enough money in the corner of her hanky to march into Ritza’s Drug Store and make her purchase. It was a

how we spent our few pennies, but she was strict about doing our weekly Saturday morning chores! Audrey and I headed for the drug store, and went right to the counter where all the cosmetics were stacked in piles. There

were boxes of something called Tanjay and boxes of fancy soaps, and there it was! Several glass jars of Pond’s Cold Cream. Audrey picked up one of the jars, unscrewed the top and took a See MARY page 9

long breath and then passed it under my nose. It smelled like lemons and I could easily understand how the ad said it would do what it would do! Now, this was pure luxury. Never, could I ever remember of anything like that jar coming into our house out in Northcote! Audrey undid her hanky and laid out all her money on the counter. She had exactly enough to make her purchase...29 cents! And that included the brown paper bag with Ritza’s Drug Store printed in big black letters on the outside. Audrey put it right up on her half of the washstand we shared in our bedroom and shaking a finger right under my nose, forbid me to lay a finger on it.

Nobody seems to want this less-formore plan. While Maguire is among those who would lose this service, he repeats Canada Post’s stats that downplay the number of people who currently

ination to boot, those orders might as well have been given to our old rooster. I wondered. If it was said to make your face as smooth as the driven snow, would that not mean it would erase your freckles, too? I was determined to try it, but I would have to wait for just the right moment. It would never do to dig into it until Audrey had first made her mark in the jar. I didn’t have to wait long. That night she lathered it on her face, put a towel on her pillow and went to bed, convinced she would have a new face by morning. Sunday, she looked the same to me as she did every day. I decided I would just put a small dab on the end of my nose where my freckles were the thickest...and this I did when I had the bedroom to myself getting dressed for church.

I rubbed it in well and it soon vanished, but it did absolutely nothing for my freckles. I would like to say I could see a change in Audrey’s face, but for weeks of slathering on the Pond’s Cold Cream, she looked exactly the same to me, and she was 29 cents poorer. I knew then nothing, not even that wonderful smelling jar of cream was ever going to get rid of my hateful freckles. And I realized there was more truth than poetry in what old Granny Hines would say when she heard anyone complain: “be happy with what God gave you...it could be a lot worse.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

get home delivery. It’s actually about 2/3 when you count rural delivery and apartments and other centralized home delivery locations. But they want it to sound like 2/3 of people are already getting CMB (community mailbox) delivery, which would be a fib. Maguire’s last point is that he doesn’t want to pay for the service with tax dollars. The good news: we don’t! Canada Post is self-sufficient and profitable, and in fact it pays income taxes to the federal government on its profits. But Canada Post is trying to reach into your pockets with the door-to-door cuts by offloading

expenses. Our municipalities would be on the hook for snow clearing, and cleaning up litter and graffiti – Canada Post always says they’ll properly look after the mailbox site, but trust our experience: they don’t. Taxpayers would be paying the cost of a change that hurts seniors and people with disabilities. The Harper Conservative government backed this Canada Post plan, and we can all see that they’ll pay for that mistake on election day.

Sifting through family memorabilia healing part of grieving process It has been a difficult year for the Maguire family! After losing both our parents in a short period of seven months my three siblings and I are working our way through the grieving process. I want to make something clear at the outset. I am not trolling for sympathy. Not at all! We have had a truly unbelievable amount of support from our extended family and friends and we are so grateful for that. Mere words cannot express our thanks. The reality is that everyone goes through what we have been dealing with eventually. Death is an inevitable fact of life. To me the measure of a person’s life, whether it be long or short, is how well they lived it. Hopefully we touch other lives along the way and make some contributions to our family, our community and our country. Anyone who can say that has probably enjoyed a good life. My brother and I, along with our two sisters, realize how fortunate we are. We had the best parents possible. And we had them for such a long time. Dad and Mum were born in 1930 meaning they were both in their 85th year at the time of their passing. Long lives, well lived. I don’t think anyone can ask for more, although selfishly we wish they were still with us. I mentioned the grieving process. Everyone grieves in different ways. There is no handbook to tell us how we should react to death or how we should conduct ourselves. How we deal death is a very individual thing, as I have discovered following the loss of family members and friends throughout my lifetime. There is no doubt that losing our parents is a big blow for the majority of

people. For us their loss is keenly felt, especially considering how loving and supportive my parents were. I don’t intend to rhyme off a list of clichés. I’m sure most of you understand only too well what I am writing about this week. All of you have or will face exactly what we are currently dealing with. My mother Molly died on June 4. I mention the date only because of an incredible oddity. Her mother died on June 4 and so did her grandmother. Three generations of women from the same family dying on the same day is, at the very least, an unusual coincidence we think. My father Howard passed away last November and after 65 years of marriage my mother simply could not get over his death. Both of them had serious health problems (heart-related) in their final years which when you are over 80, is hardly surprising. But the truth is that my mother didn’t want to go on without her husband and companion of more than six decades. That’s not surprising either. Six weeks after Mum’s death my youngest sister Susan made a visit from her home in Edmonton. Sue’s visit followed by one week the arrival of her son Alexander, my parents’ youngest grandchild. Alex was here for a summer visit with his Ottawa-area relatives and in particular my sister Linda’s two grandchildren who he adores. The feeling is mutual by the way. Intriguing experience During Susan’s stay we decided the four of us would get together and spend an afternoon going through some of our

parents’ personal possessions in the ongoing effort to determine what to keep and what needs to be relegated to the dust bin. My parents downsized considerably when they moved from their house to a retirement residence two years ago. But despite the fact many of their possessions had already been disposed of or passed along to family and friends, Linda still had several large

cumbersome at a time like this. Especially if no one wants them. So despite the fact everything meant something at the time it was saved and put away, numerous things did not find a home in the end and had to be disposed of. Our own houses are already filled with personal possessions. There is only so much room. Throwing out things that belonged to your late parents can’t be taken lightly and there was a lot of back and forth before certain articles were committed to the trash. Along with a level of sadness in some cases. It was an emotional afternoon. I readily admit that I sometimes accused my mother of not being very sentimental. So did my father so the way was clear for me on that account.

faced us that afternoon. Sorting through it was a considerable task. We were at it for hours and it turned out to be an intriguing afternoon. I mentioned the grieving process earlier. In my opinion this particular exercise was cathartic. There is no question tears were shed that afternoon. In fact the experience prompted a variety of emotions which, fortunately, also included lots of laughter. We are lucky because our parents – especially my Dad – recorded so much of our past lives on film. We had already divided hundreds and hundreds of photographs. And my brother Randy and his wife Mary Lynne have had most of those committed to discs which can be shown on television or computer screens. On this afternoon we sorted through scores and scores of oth- Sentimentality For example, the day she was ers including many pictures I hadn’t seen in decades. As the oldest child, about to throw out my father’s prized my baby photos were prominent among them. And there were lots of Tell Someone! laughs at my expense as my brother and sisters came across pictures of the chubby cheeked baby with the big head. Big melons run in our family. I had my revenge of course. There were enough embarrassing photographs to go around let me tell you! A few years ago my parents had a spring flood in their basement. Sadly a large number of documents and various other family possessions which were stored there were not salvageable. Among the lost items were photos, report cards and other documentation from our schools years which my parents had kept. Susan and I are the most fortunate in terms of what was salvaged. During the sorting process many of our This is a great opportunity class photographs and other schoolrelated articles, including some re- to brag.

collection of baseball memorabilia during a cleaning binge. Both Major League and Minor League programs and souvenirs of all sorts were headed to the garbage when my Dad fortuitously intercepted them. I don’t think I ever saw my father that mad. He nearly blew a gasket. I have a similar story to tell. And mine didn’t end nearly as well. After I got a job and got married (in that order) and was clearly out of the house permanently, my Mum decided to dispose of or donate some of my personal items. Without asking me first! My discarded collection of Beatles’ (and Dave Clark Five) magazines and paraphernalia would be worth a small fortune today. My Hardy Boys collection went to the local library where I could at least visit it. I even-

tually forgave my mother. As it turns out I was wrong when I said my Mum wasn’t sentimental. I discovered that when we went through some of the many letters and papers she had received and kept over the years. There was envelope, after envelope, after envelope in that collection of personal papers and documentation. Every one had a special meaning to her or our father. I learned so many interesting things in reading those letters and with many more still to read I am certain there are more surprises ahead. Now the letters and papers have been divided among us and will be safely kept for the benefit of future generations of the Maguire family. A trip through your family history can be educational as well. We were

able to read letters and view cards and notes from family and friends commenting on various landmark events in the life of our family. All of the items we encountered had clearly been kept with the idea that we and others in the family would eventually see them. We had a real sense that our family history was being passed on to us for safekeeping. It was an afternoon during which my siblings and I rode something of an emotional rollercoaster. But for me at least it was a positive step forward on the road to managing all of the emotions that arise following the death of a loved one.

The vacancy rate for seniors residences decreased over the past year, reaching 8.1 per cent in 2015, compared to 8.7 per cent in 2014, according to the Seniors’ Housing Report – Canada Highlights released by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). “As was the case in 2014, the increase in the total number of spaces for seniors in 2015 was slightly outpaced by an increase in the total number of residents,” said Bob Dugan, chief economist at CMHC. “This led to a decrease in the overall vacancy rate in 2015.” The survey makes the distinction between two types of spaces: standard and non-standard spaces. Standard spaces are those occupied by a resident paying market rent and who does not receive 1.5 or more hours of care per day. A non-standard space is one in which the residents are receiving at least 1.5 hours of care per day, spaces being used for respite and non-market spaces. Submitted by the CMHC.

R0013416108/0813

The Government of Ontario announced June 29 that real estate consumers will be permitted to use electronic signatures on real estate agreements of purchase and sale (APS) as of July 1. “The agreement of purchase and sale is one of the most important documents in a real estate transaction,” said Patricia Verge, Ottawa-area realtor and president of the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA). “The ability to sign it electronically will make the process of buying or selling more efficient. This is great news for realtors as well as consumers across the province.” Electronic signatures on agreements of purchase and sale will significantly reduce the time required to process a deal. At present, agreements of purchase and sale are often faxed, scanned and emailed numerous times over the course of a transaction. “This process can be cumbersome and by the time the final version is signed, the agreement can be difficult to read,” said Verge. “The technology allows agreements to be filled out on a computer or tablet, changes can be tracked and documents can be transmitted with ease.” The government’s decision comes in the form of proclamation of a 2013 amendment to the Electronic Commerce Act, 2000 (ECA), which extended the legal protections of the Act to include electronic real estate agreements of purchase and sale. The Ministry of the Attorney General is responsible for the ECA. The ministry led the consultations and approved the final proclamation of the amendment. “Buying or selling a home is one of

Scrabble tournament to benefit Portland United Church, food bank

Pastry wars Good Vibrations gym in Smiths Falls was the scene of the inaugural Grant Dopson Memorial Fundraiser Aug. 8 to benefit Jumpstart, which provides all children with the chance to play sports. Dopson spent many hours at the rink with sons Rick and Rob for hockey and daughter Suzanne, who figure skated.

Ashley Kulp/METROLAND

A barbecue, kids activities, hockey skill tests and training stations were set up on the gym’s grounds. Above, from left: Joanne Oliver, Robbie-Lynn Dopson, Rachel Dopson and Molly Leach get a bit messy during a pie eating contest. Robbie-Lynn and Rachel are Grant’s granddaughters.

A fun Scrabble tournament, book sale and barbecue lunch will be held Saturday, Aug. 22 to benefit the Portland Food Bank and the Portland United Church. Show your word power! Register now. The Portland Food Bank needs our support – needs are many and donations are down. All competitors register as individual players, paying $20 per person (which will be split 50/50 between the food bank and the church). Scores will be totalled for the three games and prizes (donated by some of our local generous businesses) will be awarded to the top individuals. To add more fun, challenge three of your friends and form a group of four. If you are part of a “challenge team” you play with your team for the first game and then move on to others for the next two games. However, your individual three games’ scores will be totalled giving you “bragging rights” if you are the highest within your team. A prize will be given to the challenge team with the highest total scores. Everyone plays three 50-minute

games at tables of four, with a break of 15 minutes between each game. Each turn is limited to three minutes. The second and third games are played with different people at different tables. This is a fun tournament with little extras – such as “A Look for a Loonie” which will allow a competitor to look at the Scrabble dictionary for 30 seconds for the cost of $1. Complimentary refreshments will be available during the afternoon. Register now by going online to www.eppc-ucc.com, phone 613-2722002 or sign up in-person at Portland United Church on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Prizes of gifts or gift certificates have been donated by: Portside Boutique – Portland, The Opinicon Dining Room – Chaffey’s Locks, Forfar Dairy, Twin Pines Campground, Rideau Lakes Building Centre – Crosby, Moroni’s by the Rideau – Portland and Baker’s Feed Store – Forfar. The book sale starts at 10 a.m. and the $5 barbecue lunch (hamburger or sausage in a bun with all the fixings, and a beverage) runs 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Come out and enjoy the day!

Give a forever home to a feline friend (or two) at LAWS this week We don’t know too much about this week’s featured pets, other than that they came to us as strays. Before we offer them for adoption we always make sure the cats are healthy. We give them their inoculations, treat them for worms and flees and, if needed, they’ll be send to the vet to be spayed or neutered. We always try to find homes for them as soon as we can with your help and support of the various pet stores. The following cats are ready and would be very happy to find their new families.

The Cemetery Club comedy mixes laughter and tears at Studio Theatre Can a play about three dead spouses be light-hearted summer entertainment? It can if it’s Ivan Menchell’s The Cemetery Club, premiering at the Studio Theatre on Thursday, Aug. 13. The Cemetery Club revolves around a “club” of three middle aged widows, Doris, Lucille and Esther, who gather once a week to visit the graves of their recently-departed husbands, before retiring to a deli to talk about their lives. Doris remains fiercely devoted to her late husband, while Lucille is eager to start dating again – and hopefully locate a

man who will be faithful to her this time. Meanwhile, Esther isn’t ready to hit the dating scene again, until she meets Ben, a former cop turned cab driver who eases his way into her life. Esther’s new relationship with Sam inspires shock in Doris, jealousy in Lucille, and plenty of humour. Sound familiar? If you liked The Golden Girls you’ll love The Cemetery Club. Directed by theatre veteran Joan Sonnenburg, and starring Janet Rice, Grace Main, Jennifer Pfitzer, Barbara Kobolak

and Grey Masson, The Cemetery Club premieres Aug. 13 for seven performances, August 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22 at 8 p.m., and Sunday matinees Aug. 16 and 23. Tickets are $22 at The Book Nook (cash only) 60 Gore Street E., and at Shadowfax, 67 Foster St. 613-267-6817, (online at shadowfax.on.ca, phone and credit cards; a convenience fee applies). Tickets are $24 at the door, and $10 for students with ID. Be sure to visit studiotheatreperth.com for details. Submitted by Paul Joyce for the Studio Theatre.

Rabies vaccine bait drop protects public health About 25,000 baits containing rabies vaccine will be distributed near Cornwall on Aug. 15 and 16. The bait drop program is one of the most successful rabies eradication programs in North America. The vaccine will help keep raccoons in the province free of rabies. The baits will be distributed on the mainland near Cornwall. Baiting is also being done around the Niagara region. These areas are being targeted because of the presence of rabid

raccoons in New York near the Ontario border. The flavoured baits immunize most skunks, foxes and raccoons that eat them. Baits are small and khaki green, with a toll-free rabies hotline number stamped on them. If you see baits, please do not disturb them.

Above, Eight-year-old Rielly Brown of Smiths Falls, left, and James Billett, 6, of Prescott, became instant friends at the Merrickville Fair Aug. 9 as they bonded over their love of inflatable sword fighting. Above right, The horse shows at the 177th edition of the Merrickville Fair gave local farming families the opportunity to showcase their efforts. Above, exhibiting in the four-horse hitch category, the entry of Terry and Mary Spratt earned the blue ribbon on Aug. 9. Below, Sarah Way and daughter Maggie, 18 months, made fast friends with Clyde, a fouryear-old pot bellied pig at the petting zoo offered by The Barnyard Zoo of Winchester Springs Aug. 9 at the Merrickville Fair.

Capital Fair is the last big summer hurrah

Laurie Weir/METROLAND

Two days of fun and excitement packed the streets of Almonte Aug. 8 and 9 as the annual Puppets Up! International Puppet Festival drew thousands of visitors to town. The streets were jammed four deep in spots to watch the parade meander down Mill Street, much to the delight of all – young and old alike. Street performers, vendors, face painters, musicians – there was something for everyone, and then some. Above, Steampunk Ottawa is some 1,000 members strong. Some of them made the trek to Almonte for the festival. They include Elisabeth, Nicole, Sophie, Tim, Katherine, Professor Gustave Morbeus, Georges, Josephine, Brenda, Meagan, Christine, Victor and Kira the dog. Bottom left, Braden Arrand, 3, of Petawawa shared his hotdog with Mike Deroucher’s puppet. The Belleville puppeteer was one of several street performers delighting the children along his route. Bottom right, this parade participant’s costume was a hit with the crowd.

For the past 40 years, the Capital (formerly Gloucester) Fair has welcomed spring to the National Capital Region, bringing fun and excitement along with it. Now in its second year as the 10 day late summer event at the Rideau Carleton Raceway, the Fair promises to have something for everyone with wild and crazy outdoor monster truck shows, western horse and barrel racing shows, Eastern Ontario’s largest midway, three days of senior’s bridge tournaments, a raucous demolition derby, free daily live entertainment, a comedic hypnotist, a daily dog stunt show, Armwrestling championships, an amateur BBQ competition, a Petting Zoo and a huge kids zone among lots of other attractions. It’s is a great way to get out and have one last summer celebration with the whole family. The Fair’s signature event, the Monster Trucks on a Mission show is not your average extreme action feature. These trucks take full advantage of the outdoor venue to reach speeds and heights and perform tricks that can’t be performed in any indoor arena. With a show on Friday, August 21st, Saturday, August 22nd and Sunday, August 23rd, there’s lots of opportunity to enjoy this spectacular event. Discount tickets are available on-line (capitalfair.ca) for a limited time and at the door for only $25.00. Special combo packages are available but only on-line. They offer all day midway rides and admission to the Monster Shows. There are also VIP packages for the best seats in the house, a pit pass and autograph session. Cars and trucks will be crashing all over the fair, as the Monster Truck Show is complimented by a return of our FREE Demolition Derby on Thursday night. See our derby cars smash and crash, all to the delight of the crowd. And it won’t just be the car’s strength that will be tested. On Sunday the Ontario Championship arm-wrestling competition will push competitors to the edge. All of that outdoor fun is sure to build up a healthy appetite and barbeque is the name of the game at the Capital Fair at the D&S Southern Comfort B.B.Q. Restaurant “Smoked to the Bone” barbeque competition. The competition will pit amateur teams against each other for $1,000 in cash and prizes. Think your barbecue talents deserve glory? Why not try your hand? All you need is a BBQ. Chicken and ribs are provide with your admission. For animal enthusiasts, there are western horse barrel races on Friday and Saturday night and a full Gymkhana show on Sunday. The Kids Zone features the Bird of Prey show where families can meet eagles, owls and hawks up close and personal. See them soar overhead as the conservation team explains the habitat and challenges these species face. There’s also a petting zoo and pony rides. Also inside the Kids Tent is DooDoo, the world famous clown and his Dance Party. There’s also the Reptile Rainforest, the Kommunity Stage and the Travelin’ Farmer display where city folk can get in touch with their country cousins. Kids young and old can enjoy the World’s Finest Midway, which delivers all the best rides from summer´s past including the Cannonball, Music Express, Alien Abduction and Fireball. All-day ride passes are only $18 and include free admission to the Fair. The Capital Fair also appreciates the community it thrives in, so they give back every year the day before the fair starts with the Hydro Ottawa Special Needs Day. This year we will host over 1,500 special needs children to a private party where legions of Hydro Ottawa volunteers help move children to and from World’s Finest Midway rides and then off to a hotdog and ice cream lunch in the Hydro Ottawa food tent. Entertainment, Karaoke and a Petting Zoo, courtesy of Monalea Petting Zoo, round out what is the best day of the year for many of these children. So come check out all that the fair has to offer!

A Little Princess opens this week at the Station Theatre After months of rehearsal, A Little Princess, the much-anticipated new musical created by the talented team of William Brooke (book), Eric Rockwell (score) and Margaret Rose (lyrics) opens this week on the stage of the Station Theatre. The musical was originally produced by the Sacramento Theatre Company, Michael Lunn, producing director. The Smiths Falls Community Theatre is privileged to be given the Canadian premiere rights to produce this delightful script based on the well-loved 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. The play will be performed from Thursday, Aug. 13 to Sunday, Aug. 23. A Little Princess is 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. When Sara has to confront the news of the death of her father she uses her ability to create a story for her life challenges 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

From left: Juliet Alfaro (Sara Crewe), Garrett Pipher (Ram Dass), Susan Parsons (Miss Minchen), Todd Daniluk (Captain Crewe) and Nathan Matthews (Constable). newfound 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. The catchy and memorable score and accompaniment is expertly managed by Rowena Pearl, who wowed audiences during the production of The Railway Children. Full of witty, charming and memorable music, the story is sure to tug at the heartstrings. This is a wonderful show for young and old, residents of the area, and tourists.

Director Lynda Daniluk has assembled a talented cast that has worked hard to display the polished level of performance the show deserves. From learning the lyrics and music, to adapting to how people behaved more than a hundred years ago, there is much to master. The large cast – with plenty of splendid roles for up-and-coming local youngsters and veteran adult 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 diffi-

cult life in a strict boarding school where she has been placed by her globetrotting father. This is Juliet’s acting debut, but she is no stranger to the arts. She is a grade seven Honour roll student at Kars On The Rideau Public School with a passion for drawing, writing, singing and playing the piano. Juliet was the recipient of the graduating Arts Award while at North Gower Marlborough Public School. The three other principals in the musical are: Todd Daniluk (Sara’s father, Captain Crewe); Susan Parsons (the boarding school proprietress, Miss Minchen) and Garrett Pipher (the show’s narrator, Ram Dass). Todd is a ten-year acting veteran of Smiths Falls Community Theatre dating back to his first role in town as Detective Sergeant Troughton in Run for Your Wife. Most recent notable roles include Dr. Sloper in The Heiress and Porthos in The Three Musketeers. Susan Parsons (Miss Minchin) appeared in Camelot in 2012 and Humbug in 2013. Among her other credits are: a Music CD in 2014 (currently working on a second), Finalist in “Voice on the Rideau” competition, Westport 2013 and 2014, and a Gold Medal for Grade 3 Speech Arts 2012 (Royal Conservatory). Garrett Pipher as Ram Dass provides many of the broadest laughs in

the production. Garrett has been acting for eight years. His most recent memorable performances are as the zany Simple Simon in the SFCT’s pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk (2014) and SFDCI’s production of Times A Changin’ (2015). 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 613283-0300 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 halfhour 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” kickoff 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).

“Talented singer, actress and entertainer” is how show business pros describe Canada’s tribute queen, Amberley Beatty. For years, her spine-tingling re-creation of the legendary Patsy Cline in concert has filled theatres from the eastern United States to northern Ontario. Honkytonk Gal, her new tribute to Loretta Lynn, simply enhances Amberely’s reputation as a world-class entertainer. Loretta Lynn is called “the first lady of country music” because of her unique ability to communicate with country music fans. Her no-nonsense approach to subjects like alcoholism, infidelity and personal loss speaks clearly and honestly to regular people, in terms anyone can understand. Her vast body of work, covering more than six decades, is what Beatty describes as “an inspiration gold mine”. That gold mine inspired the intrepid Beatty to create Honkytonk Gal, her mesmerizing new tribute show, showcasing the most popular and bestloved of Loretta Lynn’s songs. The show’s name was borrowed from Honkytonk Girl, Lynn’s first record, released in February 1960. Amberley’s powerful voice

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 You’re very good at marching to the beat of a different drummer, Aries. But keep in mind that sometimes it’s advantageous to follow along with what others are doing. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you hope that others appreciate what you are doing for them this week. You may not get a verbal thank-you, but expect some to show their appreciation in other ways. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, many people are willing to lend you a helping hand when you need one. Make the most of their generosity, and then give back whenever possible. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, enjoy the fruits of your labor this week. You worked hard, and now is a great time for you to rest, relax and catch up with some old friends. Good times are ahead. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, leave room for others to share their opinions after expressing your own. It never hurts to see another’s point of view, and a loved one’s opinion may prove enlightening. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, a heavy workload may force you to regroup and start over next week when you have more energy and inspiration. This is just a temporary setback.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, others are looking to you for advice this week. Give any inquiry the thoughtful consideration it deserves, doing your best to take others’ concerns to heart. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, even if you have a million ideas running through your head, push them aside in favor of some much-needed rest. You need to take some time for yourself.

Local community partners helping to prevent deaths from overdose from opioid overdose in Ontario than people killed in motor vehicle collisions. The province of Ontario is the highest consumer of opioids in Canada. The growing concerns and alarming rise in opioid overdoses (463 per cent from 2000-2013 are affecting all communities from the largest cities to the smallest towns and villages, including Leeds, Grenville and Lanark. With several deaths over the past 18

months here in the tri-county area, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, along with community partners are working diligently to raise awareness about overdoses happening in our community. One of the many calls for action to improve opioid safety and reduce the number of fatal overdoses happening in the province is to expand the access to the lifesaving drug Naloxone. Nalox-

one is recommended by the World Health Organization as an essential medicine that (temporarily) reverses an opioid overdose. Like epinephrine (e.g., EpiPen); it is a proven lifesaver during a medical emergency. The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Health Unit now offers Naloxone kits to eligible individuals through the Revive Overdose Response program. Revive is offered at all six sites of the

Ruth Elizabeth Porter

Ruth passed away in the Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital, Perth, Ontario following a short illness. Ruth is survived by her sister Nancy Kenyon of Victoria, BC, her brother William E. Kenyon of Ridgefield, Connecticut, five nieces and two nephews, and many cousins in the Perth and Smiths Falls area. She is pre-deceased by her sister Margaret (Peggy) Molloy (nee Kenyon; formerly Kirkland) and her former husband Atwell Richard (Dick) Porter. Ruth was born in Toronto, the first child of William A. and Mildred Kenyon. She graduated from the University of Toronto with a degree in Food Science; later she obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Library Science. Ruth lived and worked in London (England), Prague, Ottawa, Victoria, and Toronto. Eventually she settled in Perth, where she lived the remainder of her life. Ruth’s roots in the Perth area were deep. Through her grandfather Isaac Kenyon, Ruth was related to the McKay, Acheson, Allan, Wood, Wills and Covell families of the area. Through her mother, she was also linked to the Dyke family. While living in Perth, Ruth was a dedicated volunteer at the Perth & District Union Public Library, a member of the Lanark County Quilters’ Guild, and a community gardener. She enjoyed visiting the family cottage on Otty Lake, and travelled regularly, staying in hostels and carrying a very small suitcase. Ruth and her infectious laugh will be greatly missed by her family and friends. In the Blair & Son Family Centre, 15 Gore St. W. Perth a Celebration of Life to remember Ruth was held on Tuesday, August 11th, 2015 from 11:00 to 1:00 P.M. with a sharing of memories at 12:00 noon. Donations in her name can be made to the Perth & District Union Public Library.

God has you in His keeping, And we have you in our hearts.

Emmanuel Anglican Church, Hwy 15, Portland Scott J. Millar Dec. 17, 1969 – Aug. 16, 2006 It is hard to believe that August 16th marks the 9 year anniversary of your death. An anniversary that no one wants to celebrate or should have to. It was the day you were taken from us. Death, is just so final... no second chance. My mind will wander and I start thinking out loud. Where would we be today and what would we be doing? The answers to my questions will always be the same. Together, holding hands, in love and a happy family. The heartache can sneak up on me so fast and it can hurt so much I want to scream. But wishing you back are always empty wishes, wishes that can never be granted... no second chance. I put my foot in front of the other to move forward, but at times it seems that I’m going backwards. Everyday is a lifetime without you. All I ever wanted was a lifetime with you... no second chance. Wyatt is so special and growing up so fast. He is a lot like his Daddy, so many great qualities. You would be so proud. Our son misses you, misses you every day. We all miss you Scott. You were a Daddy, a husband, a son and a friend. You were loved and will always be loved. Love never forgets. Love Sharon and Wyatt xxxooo xxxooo

In loving memory Kenneth Moir December 1959 - August 2009 Each day is remembered and quietly kept. No words are needed, we never forget. Deep in our hearts, he will always stay. Loved and remembered every day. Mom and Dad

MORRIS – In loving memory of our dear Dad, Grampa, and Great Grampa, Cyril, who passed away August 16, 2007. May the winds of love blow softly, And whisper for you to hear, That we still love you dearly, We wish that you were here. We hold you close within our hearts, And there you will remain, To walk beside us all our lives, Until we meet again. Dearly loved and missed by your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren

Tourism campaign challenges operators to think like a visitor Sometimes, you find yourself in the middle of nowhere, and sometimes, in the middle of nowhere, you find yourself. Inspired by this quote, and its ability to resonate with urban city dwellers looking to slow the pace and disconnect, the Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO) has launched a new high-impact, experiential summer campaign, welcoming visitors to the region to experience their perfect “nowhere moment”. The campaign has captured the region’s attention with its bold visitor-centric approach and cheeky messaging, inspiring both interest and criticism from residents, city councillors and local businesses. “Currently, our region is the least known and least visited in Ontario and in order to make an impact in the marketplace with our limited resources, we knew we had to come up with a way to break away from the same-ness of traditional tourism marketing that promotes things to see and do in a destination,” says Nicole Whiting, OHTO’s executive director. “The first place we looked for inspiration was at destinations that were able to achieve this, and what we found was they had two things AUCTIONS

in common. First, they intimately understood the visitors they were trying to attract and second, they developed their marketing message based on how these visitors wanted to feel when they visited a destination.” She goes on to state, “Our target audience are folks that spend their days in gridlock, commuting hours to and from work every day, only to come home and have to be somewhere again. When this audience makes their travel decisions, they don’t want to be somewhere, they want to be nowhere for a moment. To slow the pace, actually have conversations with people, have space to clear their mind and connect with their loved ones. Our region offers this in spades and it’s because we are considered nowhere to them that makes this region so attractive.” Still, when the OHTO presented the campaign concept at stakeholder sessions held across the region in April, it took some time for operators to warm up to the idea. “We knew it would be challenging for those who live and work in the region to embrace a concept that is contrary to their own perspectives,” says Whiting. “There

is a tremendous amount of pride in our communities and it was difficult for them to set aside their own opinions and put themselves in the minds of our visitors. But when we walked them through what we know about the visitors we are trying to attract and described the experience they are looking for, we found most of the operators who initially had negative views of the campaign came around and saw the opportunities this bold approach offers.” And visitors are already taking notice. The OHTO is seeing robust participation in two contests anchored around the #NowhereMoment theme, which offers social media followers a chance to win “nowhere moment” prizing and a custom trip to Ontario’s Highlands valued at $1,500 for sharing their own #NowhereMoment submissions. “Effective marketing is all about generating conversations, and we knew the audience would jump at the chance to share their perfect ‘nowhere moment’ and end up describing exactly what Ontario’s Highlands has to offer,” says Marc Whitehead, senior strategist of KARO Group, the awardwinning agency that developed the

AUCTIONS

campaign for the OHTO. And it’s not just consumers taking notice. Travel media are also responding to the innovative messaging, most recently at a Travel Massive event held in Toronto on May 28, where the campaign was called “genius” by urban travel bloggers. “The idea of ‘going nowhere’ is very appealing to me,” says Will Tang, author of Going Awesome Places blog. “Sometimes, I just want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city – to slow down and disconnect by wandering the unknown. I didn’t realize Ontario’s Highlands had so many jewels to discover, and I look forward to re-energizing in the region this summer and sharing with my followers how they can enjoy every moment to the fullest.” The OHTO offers a variety of ways for operators to join the conversation and link into promotional opportunities, including submitting to the OHTO ideas on how visitors can experience their ‘nowhere moment’ with them. Operators interested in participating are encouraged to visit ohto. ca for detailed information on the campaign. AUCTIONS

Ladies Auxiliary hands in charter after 57 years of service in community Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

The end of an era. The Ladies Auxiliary, Branch 212, handed in their charter on June 17, after 57 years of service within the community, due to poor membership numbers. The auxiliary, a volunteer based group, had 22 members. “The veterans were good old timers,” said Marg Parker, executive of the auxiliary and standing member for 27 years. “We had a lot of fun.” The purpose of the Ladies Auxiliary is to assist in preparing for events, such as weddings, funerals and dinners, at their respective legions and helping veterans. The auxiliary also assisted with Remembrance Day, the poppy blitz and honours and awards. “As it got to the end, there were only four or ﬁve of us who could work,” said Goldie Leizert, treasurer of the auxiliary and standing member for ﬁve years. “We had a great time though, at the (Legion) branch,” said Parker. “They were really good guys.” Over the years, the Ladies Auxiliary has donated to the Beth Donovan Hospice, the Kemptville District Hospital, the Kemptville District Home Support Incorporated, 4-H, veterans and many others. “We used to go over to

the vet home to bring them gifts on their birthdays and at Christmas time,” said Parker. “To ﬁnd out what’s going on and what they need. We had a lot of fun.” “I had a vet who I visited every other week for quite a while,” said Verna Seymour, executive of the auxiliary and standing member for 20 years. “We donated an electric chair to a local MS (Multiple Sclerosis) patient,” said Sally Thorburn, president of the auxiliary and standing member for 35 years. The Ladies Auxiliary met every second Wednesday of the month, to go over upcoming and the previous month’s events at the Legion. “Every two years, members would go to conventions for the Ladies Auxiliary,” said Thorburn. The conventions featured members from Ladies Auxiliaries across Ontario. “There would be a massive parade,” said Thorburn. “There were 600 ﬂags and 2,000 women on parade.” She said as the years went by, older auxiliary members passed away and younger women weren’t interested in joining. “The last convention we went to, something like 29 auxiliaries had closed,” said Thorburn. “It’s the end of an era,” said Parker.

From left, Verna Seymour, Marg Parker, Bernice Leizert, Goldie Leizert, Sally Thorburn and Sheila Coughler. She explained in the ’90s, the auxiliary was booming. “We were great buddies with the legion members,” said Parker. “They respected us.” She said after 2010, the auxiliary began a downward spiral that eventually led to its recent closure. The ladies of the auxiliary put in a lot of time, helping the community, over the decades of service. “In November, we weren’t even home to get Christmas

ready,” said Parker. “We were so busy at the legion, getting everything ready.” Some days, the ladies would start work at the legion early in the morning and continue on late into the night. “I’ve gone it at 6 a.m. to put meat in the oven, gone off to work, come back to make pies, stayed to help during the dinner and stayed until the last dish is cleaned,” said Thorburn, whose late mother was a past president of the auxiliary.

“Some days, I worked 11 hours straight and then come back the next day,” said Sheila Coughler, secretary of the auxiliary and standing member for 16 years. The auxiliary was about more than helping out the legion and community; it was about friendship. “Once you became a Ladies Auxiliary member, you became a friend,” said Thorburn. “Some of the past presidents we had were wonderful,” said Parker.

Slowly, the Ladies Auxiliaries in the region petered out. “There are only five auxiliaries in the G3 (zone) now,” said Coughler. “When I joined there were 10,” said Thorburn. “When I first joined the auxiliary, the bar tender used to serve all of us workers a drink before everyone else arrived,” said Bernice Leizert, past president and standing member for over 50 years. “That sort of petered out over time. I can remember when I first started you had to go downstairs, around the corner, to the bottom floor and then carry all the food up those stairs to serve people.” The Ladies Auxiliary helped with roughly 30 events annually at the legion. All the ladies were very particular about setting the table properly. “I had a ball,” said Parker. “We are all going to miss the auxiliary. I am so bloody old now, I don’t have enough to do and now I don’t have the Ladies Auxiliary.” She said there will never be another Ladies Auxiliary in Kemptville. “They wouldn’t be able to build it up like it was,” said Parker. “It’s dead.” “We did all this (volunteering) when we had young kids and worked,” said Bernice. “Things were different back then; there was no evening or Sunday shopping,” said Goldie. “I’m going to miss the sports,” said Thorburn, “the darts and euchre and crib.” “I’m going to miss it terribly,” said Parker. “It was a lot of fun. A lot of people you meet. A lot have gone, but we can still talk about them.” Missing from the interview was Jean Sharples, past president of the auxiliary and standing member for 40 years. “Your local furniture & appliance showroom.”

New vision for Old Town Kemptville BIA will see expansive change jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

There’s a new vision for the Old Town Kemptville Business Improvement Area. The recent Old Town Kemptville BIA Business, Marketing and Programming plan, prepared by Eric McSweeney, was sponsored by the BIA, in conjunction with the Eastern Ontario Development Program. “This report presents a vision both for the future of Old Town Kemptville and its BIA,” said Paul Cormier, the new chair of the BIA. “The McSweeney report is blunt in saying that ‘the marketing and promotion function of the BIA (one of its primary functions) is hampered by inadequate resources.’ In order to successfully support the achievement of the downtown vision, and achieve greater resident and visitor attraction to both Downtown and to Kemptville, McSweeney and Associates have recommended that the Municipality of North Grenville consider the establishment of a new BIA to for urban Kemptville to include the current BIA area, further south on Prescott Street, including the hospital and former Kemptville College campus area, Rideau and Sanders Streets to Highway 43, and possibly beyond to the Rideau River and the Highway 43 corridor from Somerville Road to Highway 416. That wouldn’t mean Old Town Kemptville wouldn’t be represented. One notion from McSweeney is to have zones, for example an eQuinelle zone, Old Town Kemptville zone and Highway 43 corridor zone. This way each zone can support the other and reduce the overall cost of supporting the BIA.” From this report, the message is clear; the BIA needs to expand to be viable.

“We need to increase the capacity of the BIA to implement social and economic development,” said Cormier. He said the BIA is not just about helping businesses – it’s about making Kemptville a better place. “The report has been distributed to the BIA Board of Management, stakeholders and members,” said Cormier. “We are currently gathering feedback to prepare an ‘As It Was Heard’ report. The plan and the feedback will then be presented to municipal council.” He said the executive and BIA Board of Management are committed to moving forward on two major initiatives. “The first is attracting new businesses to Old Town Kemptville and the second is ensuring OTK has everything it needs to attract residents and visitors,” said Cormier. Besides Paul Cormier as its Chair, the BIA Board of Management directors includes Blair Hamilton of Kemptville Home Hardware, Pierre Sabourin and Shona DuRocher from Old Town Treats, Amanda Guerin from the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Gilles Brisebois of the LA Group, Boris Lysynski from Twice the Fun Games and Debbie Wilson from Grahame’s Bakery. Martia Cicalo is the Program Coordinator and Andrew Beveridge from B&H Grocer provides his financial expertise to both board and staff.

The plant can also easily be expanded, to accommodate growth, which is important to note.” Clearford decided to fund the $1 million project, after three potential ﬁnancers fell through.

Merrickville resident to compete in CNE Ambassador of the Fairs Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND

Jessy Carroll, Merrickville resident, is the Ambassador of the Fair for the Spencerville Fair and will be competing in the Canadian National Exhibition Ambassador of the Fairs competition on August 21.

events at the Spencerville Fair. “It’s a really big opportunity,” she said. “The ambassador program is about helping young adults to be more involved in the community. “It also gives them skills, like being interviewed and doing speeches. It prepares you for adult life.” She said helping out with the fair has been a great learning experience for her. “I had no idea, when I went to the first board meeting, about all the little decisions that have to be made to make the fair come together,” she said. Carroll said winning the competition last year to become the ambassador was a big surprise. “I am not very good at giving speeches. One of the judges told me afterwards it was my personality that set me apart. I guess the judges were impressed by my interview, when I was talking about dairy showing.” Agriculture is part of her. “I’ve been milking cows since I was 10,” she said. “I was born with the dairy gene.” Being involved in the 4H Club has provided her invaluable experiences and knowledge. “I started in 4H when I was

12. I joined some of the life skill clubs, including cooking, crafts, sewing and knitting. I was also on the plowing club, the beef club and the dairy showing club.” The vet club was one of her favourites. “The veterinarian taught us about the anatomy of a cow by dissecting a still born calf,” said Carroll. “He cut a piece of the lung and put it in a bowl of water. He explained if the calf ever breathed and died after being born the piece of its lung would float, but if it dropped to the bottom, the calf never breathed. We got to learn a lot of different things.” She was also the Grenville County Queen of the Furrow for two years. “It’s similar to the ambassador program,” Carroll said. “You go to a lot of agricultural events in the community and try to get people involved.” The recent graduate of Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute will be taking Police Foundations at Algonquin College, Perth Campus, in the fall. “I did a co-op placement at the North Grenville Fire Service,” she added, “and really enjoyed the enforcement side of things.”

Jessy Carroll, 18, hopes to raise awareness about the importance of agriculture. She grew up on a hobby farm just outside of Merrickville and milks cows for her uncle every morning and night. “I would rather be outside sitting on a tractor doing hay than go shopping,” Carroll said. She is the Ambassador of the Fair for the Spencerville Fair, which kicks off Sept. 11, and will be taking part in the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) Ambassador of the Fairs competition on Aug. 21 in Toronto. “Basically, we go around to different fairs and agricultural events in the community and act as ambassadors,” said Carroll. “We try to get people more involved in agriculture and what we have to offer.” She explained as the ambassador for the Spencerville Fair she has taken part in the monthly board meetings, which include a number of committees for various aspects of the fair. “We do a Little Sir and Little Miss competition for the younger kids,” said Carroll. “It takes them out of their comfort zone. “They have to go up on stage and answer questions with everyone watching.”

She explained there is also a Junior Ambassador of the Fair competition, which involves being interviewed, presenting a speech in front of a crowd and answering an impromptu question on stage. “With the ambassador competition, we get interviewed by three judges, then go up on stage and read a speech and each competitor has to answer a question,” said Carroll. She was crowned Ambassador of the Fair in Spencerville last year, but this is the first year she’ll be going to the CNE competition. She said there will be about 80 competitors at the event in Toronto. “I went to a conference with all the ambassadors in Toronto back in February,” Carroll said. “We got to meet everyone and get to know each other. We also got to see what everyone else is doing to make their fairs great. It’s like a showcase for people to show what they have to offer, like entertainers. Then we can pick what we’d like to see at our fair.” Carroll is helping with the barrel racing, western show and heavy horse competition, in addition to the ambassador program

tableau. Dessert was the obligatory birthday cake. Time for birthday presents. It would be too easy to get her a gift card or some questionable clothing. I have no clue what women like or what appeals to their sense of style. I do know that she has a new house in Brockville with a small back yard and a love of birds. Two bags of cement later, and some Rube Goldberg forms, I had a diminutive bird bath/ hummingbird feeder for her yard. The whole time I was working on the project, I was thinking about my sister. Not a lot of money spent but I wanted to give her something she would enjoy. Something that would tell her that I was thinking about her. Something from me. Today was a very good day. Our garden provided everything necessary to set the scene. Our family provided everything to set the mood. We had flowers and food and friends. We are so fortunate to have the opportunity to grow plants and relationships. So fortunate to have flowers and friends. I think Barb had a very good birthday. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so good to have her back home again. When she was in Vancouver we talked. Now she is home we still talk but we can look each other in the eye and hold each other when we need to. I hope that this was Barbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday bonus. If you have any gardening questions, email me at gordknights3@gmail.com

Last fall, approximately 10,000 books were sent on a new journey. On that journey, they went to three book fairs, were sold, replenished and purged. Recently, 10,000 books returned to The Ferguson Forest for the 12th Annual North Grenville Book Fair in late August that supports The Kemptville Youth Centre (KYC). While on its journey, this collection of books stopped in three cities and helped raise over $10,000 to fund youth going to Youth Centres Canada annual conference while feeding the need of book lovers young and old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so very proud that Youth Centres Canada and Total Move Management saw the same big picture that we did at KYC. They were both willing to invest so much of their time into this new bigger new venture of ours,â&#x20AC;? said Robin Heald, executive director from KYC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could not have started something so big without these two partners.â&#x20AC;? Project partner, Les Voakes from Youth Centres Canada, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The travelling book fair has evolved into a significant part of our fundraising strategy for Youth Centres Canada. It meets all of our needs for fundraisers. Having literacy as a base and helping us be positive community builders makes it a winning combination.â&#x20AC;?

ow. Say you’re off dairy on air or online and you had better hope no dairy farmers are listening or reading. I’m not Oprah, people. I really don’t think my limiting or eliminating dairy from my diet – and going public about it - is going to have a negative effect on the industry. I have nothing against dairy per se. I understand the value that dairy has in our daily diet, helping us to reach our requirements for calcium and vitamin D. However, as we learn more about low-fat substitutes and how they are not necessarily the healthiest option, we have to take another look at Canada’s Food Guide. Do we really want to switch back to whole milk and try consuming three servings of that stuff a day to reach our nutritional goals? That’s a whole lot of calories, Batman. And to be honest, I don’t think I could handle the taste of it. I was brought up on 2% but as my palate matured I lost my appetite for milk altogether – unless I had just eaten something really sweet and needed to balance the effect. As I aged, sugar also lost its appeal for me. Gestational diabetes through

The dairy debate rages on The Accidental Farmwife DIANA FISHER

three pregnancies has left me very sensitive to sugar in my food. Ice cream and even sweetened yogurt makes me feel quite ill. So I haven’t been consuming much dairy in recent years anyway – unless you count cheese. I am a bit of a cheese snob. If I have witnessed a cheese melting into a gelatinous glob of oil, I likely won’t want to consume it again. Case in point: mass market, low-priced cheddar. I’m not big on extra cheese pizza or nachos either. If it’s a high quality Brie, Gouda, Camembert, Feta or aged Cheddar, however, I’m in. It’s hard for me to imagine salad without cheese. My new favourite discovery in salad dressings is a yogurt-based cucumber and dill. So I likely won’t be off dairy completely. I’m just trying to

focus more on fruits and vegetables, lean meats and multi-grains as well as legumes (beans, peas, lentils) to reach my mid-life dietary requirements. I wouldn’t mind if losing a few pounds was a side effect of this lowdairy eating plan, as I have gained about twenty-five in the past decade. But that isn’t my real goal here. I would like to feel better, and have more energy. Less gurgling stomach after a meal; more stamina throughout the day. Better sleep at night; less migraine headaches. I think the important thing for people to realize is there is no one perfect eating plan. The food guide that the government of Canada developed for us seventy years ago may no longer be effective in all aspects. The wheat our mothers and grandmothers fed us seventy years ago is not the same wheat we are eating today. In all of our foods that have gone through any level of processing there are potential chemicals, preservatives, steroids, antibiotics and other items that are great for food production and marketing but not so great for our long-term health. Granted, Canada has some of the strict-

est food processing regulations in the world and much of our dairy is free of harmful additives. But you still have to listen to your body. I seem to have developed lactose intolerance to some extent. Milk is no longer my friend. Having lived in Asia for three years, where I ate a number of things I couldn’t identify, I learned to listen very carefully to how my body responds to food. My advice to anyone would be, if it makes you feel bad, don’t eat it. Our bodies tend to tell us what we need, and in what form and quantity we need it. We just have to slow down, be quiet, and listen.

Everything in moderation, right? No one is making me give up my glass of red wine a day, either. I realize the health guidelines are to limit intake to 7 glasses per week for adult women, and no more than two drinks per occasion. And I know for a fact I feel better when I do that, so I’m trying to stick to those limits. Grandma eats and drinks a little bit of everything, and she has passed the age of 100 with no major health problems. Ask her where she wants to eat and she says McDonald’s. Go figure.

Indigenous Adoptee Gathering in Kemptville is ‘about healing’ Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

The children of the ’60s Scoop, traumatized after being taken from their families and culture, are now working on building a family of their own – with each other. The second Indigenous Adoptee Gathering, to be held at Rideau Hill Camp in Kemptville from Aug. 25 to 27, is ‘about healing’ - a safe place for adoptees to come together and share stories. The gathering was organized by a group of four adoptees. “A lot of us were traumatized,” said Colleen Cardinal, one of the organizers, who was taken from her indigenous home in Alberta at the age of three and adopted out to a family in Sault St. Marie. “My three sisters and I were adopted into the same family,” said Cardinal. She explained the adoption impacted all three of their lives. One of her older sisters was murdered and the other lives out in Edmonton. “There was so much trauma from those homes,” said Cardinal. “Not everyone had a good home. Some had terrible experiences.” Cardinal was amongst the long list of adoptees who ended up in an abusive situation. “Even one of my teachers knew we were being abused and did nothing,” said Cardinal. “When I was 10, my sisters and I ran away. We walked to the Children’s Aid Society and told them about the abuse. They brought us back to the house – we thought we were getting our clothes – and they left us there.” She said both her sister eventually did manage to run away from the abusive home and she ended up having to go to the police and charging her adoptive father. “A lot of adoptees had that same experience with physical and sexual abuse and we’re still dealing with that trauma,” said Cardinal. She said she didn’t know she was indigenous until she was a teenager. “The damage was already done,” she said. “My view of indigenous people was already poor from listening to mainstream media.” She said when her adopted mother told her she was indigenous, matter-of-factly, she was offended because she internalized a lot of that racism until early adulthood. “I didn’t understand what happened to my people and my family,” said Cardinal. “Residential schools are something no one talked about.” She said she never knew about her biological mother’s experience in residential schools and how it impacted her parenting until much later in life. “She never lived to tell me,” said Cardinal. Cardinal and her sisters were removed from their mother at a young age because her mother was deemed unfit. The report for her adoption listed the reason for her removal was neglect due to a drinking problem. “She grew up in poverty, was institutionalized and never taught how to cope,” said Cardinal. “She didn’t know how to take care of us.” Cardinal is now in the process of researching her family history, to uncover what happened to her family. She was reunited with her mother in 1989, which proved to be a culture shock. “I went from Sault St. Marie to Alberta – the wild, wild west – I’ve never seen so much poverty,” said Cardinal. “For a long time, I was very

angry at her.” She said understanding the impact of residential schools has helped her to see the trauma experienced by her mother. “She had her three young daughters taken from her,” said Cardinal. Her mother passed away in 1999, at the age of 43, from cancer, after abusing solvents for years. Cardinal said she, herself, was not one of the fortunate adoptees to be placed in a loving home. “My sisters and I grew up feeling like second class citizens in our own home,” said Cardinal, who was adopted in 1975. She said it is common to hear stories from other adoptees of physical and sexual abuse. “Drinking and drugs are used as coping mechanisms to forget,” said Cardinal, who suffered from a drinking problem until one day realizing that she didn’t want her own kids to grow up with alcohol and violence. “In 1998, I quit drinking and went back to school,” said Cardinal. “I focused on raising my kids and healing. The more I’ve healed, the more I’ve learned.” She said being separated from her culture at a young age has had a resounding effect on her life. “Even though I look indigenous, I am different,” said Cardinal. “Not fitting in anywhere is a common thing. Now we’ve created a place where we all fit in together. It’s a community of adoptees and we support each other.” She said the adoptees are coming from all across Canada for the gathering. The funds to make the gathering possible are being raised by the adoptees themselves, in conjunction with a grant from the United Church Healing Fund. “We are trying to be a beacon for other adoptees and build awareness,” said Cardinal. She said it’s an ongoing battle to stay well. “We come together to promote wellness and learn our culture and be able to practice is safely,” said Cardinal. “We created a family for ourselves.” She said if anyone is interested in offering in kind donations for the gathering, such as food or fire wood, to visit http://indigenousadoptee.com. The inaugural indigenous adoptee gathering, the first of its kind in Ontario, took place in Ottawa at the end of Sept., 2014. Roughly 65 adoptees attended the gathering last year. “There are a lot of us adoptees in the Ottawa area and we wanted to come together to share our stories,” said Cardinal. “Because it was such a success, we decided to have another gathering this year.” The gathering will feature sweat lodges, drum making, multicultural activities, art therapy and workshops. “It’s about healing and realigning with our culture,” said Cardinal. She said the ’60s Scoop resulted in between 10,000 and 20,000 indigenous children being taken from their homes and adopted out. “It was a huge loss of culture,” said Cardinal. “We are now in our 40s and 50s and realizing just how big a loss it was. We want to realign and heal.” Rideau Hill Camp was chosen as the venue for the gathering due to the infrastructure, privacy and connection to nature. “We wanted the opportunity to return to the land for our gathering,” Cardinal said, “even though most of us were raised in urban centers.”

Salvation Army Income Tax Clinic celebrates 10 years of helping people Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Taxes can be intimidating. Ten years ago, Wayne Lynch, a retired accountant and volunteer with the Salvation Army, was approached by another volunteer, Maureen McCleery, about helping clients with their tax returns. The Income Tax Clinic started out small. “The first year, we did returns for four or five people,” said Lynch. Since then the number of low-income residents who access the clinic has multiplied by 10, to between 40 and 45 clients per year. “Not a year has gone by when we don’t get people who have let their tax returns build up for a few years,” said Lynch. In the past, client’s information was collected, picked up and filed electronically. Now, Lynch has a table set up in the sanctuary (Oxford Street West location) on food bank days to meet with clients who require assistance in person. “It’s been great for additional questions and walking clients through the process,” said Lynch. He explained the clinic is not solely dedicated to income tax returns. “We help people apply for the Guaranteed Income Supplement, which is for pensioners,” said Lynch. “Some people don’t know they qualify or how to apply.” He said there are lots of things he can help people in need with, including applying for Old Age Security and Child Care Benefits. “It can be expensive to have someone do your taxes, which is why we decided to start this initiative,” said Lynch.

the initiative. “And that’s just the tax returns, not the other paperwork I’ve helped people with,” said Lynch. “I don’t mind helping people in need.” He said he feels the clinic will continue growing, as the population continues to increase and as more residents become aware of the service. Over the years, Lynch received assistance for the clinic from other volunteers in the community. However, he completed the 44 tax returns in 2015 on his own and hope others members of the community, who have a knowledge of computers and would be willing to learn the process, to volunteer their time to contribute to the ever growing need of the clinic. “If anyone is interested in helping me, that would be great,” said Lynch. If you require assistance with overdue tax returns, tax returns in general, other applications for the CRA or would like to volunteer to help with the clinic, call the Salvation Army at (613)-2583583. “I am glad to do it,” said Lynch. “The CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) can be intimidating.” Salvation Army Food Bank needs The Salvation Army Food Bank is currently in need of the following items: jam, beef ravioli, school snacks, juices and juice boxes, pancake mix, maple syrup, individual puddings, apple sauce, canned fruit, canned meats, cake mixes, baking soda, popcorn, cookies, granola bars, condiments, coffee, tea, sugar, salsa, diapers (size 4), dish soap and gluten free items.

Canal Pursuit for Mental Health to pass through Kemptville Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Clay Williams knows firsthand the effects of depression. His two older brothers committed suicide and his wife, daughter and sister all suffer from mood disorders. “It affects everyone in some way,” said Williams. The 55-year-old Waterloo resident is running 765 kilometers in seven and a half days to help raise awareness about mood disorders and funds for the Mood Disorder Society of Canada. The run will take him along the Trent Severn Canal and the Rideau Canal, passing through Smiths Falls, Merrickville and Kemptville on Sept. 3. He explained this is the longest run he has ever done. The idea for the Canal Pursuit for Mental Health stemmed from a few factors coming together. “I did pretty well in a 225 kilometer trail race, over 48 hours,” said Williams, who placed first in the men’s category. “I am usually a back of the pack runner. It was as amazing to me as everyone else that I came first.” He explained every year since 2005 he’s turned his longest run into a fundraiser. “Last year, the 225 kilometer race was in honour of a friend of mine who passed away from melanoma,” said Williams. “I called up one of my friends and he didn’t really understand the concept of running for 48 hours. His wife said that I should run across Canada for charity. My first thought was I don’t have enough vacation time. I did the math and it would take about three and a half months.” He said around the same time as this idea was

mentioned, the actor Robin Williams committed suicide. “I have a little brother named Robin Williams,” said Williams. “My two older brothers committed suicide – the oldest in 1982 and the other in 2007. My wife, daughter and sister all suffer from Submitted depression.” He said at the Clay Williams will pass time, his friend through Kemptville. registered for a 600 kilometer race in Buffalo, NY, in support of the Mood Disorder Society of Canada. But the race in Buffalo didn’t come to fruition. “I already recruited a crew and we all booked the time off for that race,” said Williams. He said he formed a plan to run along the Trent Severn Canal and the Rideau Canal, all the way to Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The start point for the Canal Pursuit for Mental Health, which will pass through 88 locks along the two canal systems, is Port Severn. “I am the only one running, so it’s not really a race this year,” said Williams. “I will be running about 100 kilometers per day. I’ll have four people – my crew –driving vehicles and setting up rolling stations for food and water.” More than 200 people so far have signed up to

“There’s no remedy; all I can do is just let her know I’m there.” He said each person’s depression is different. “My daughter gets physically depressed; it takes the energy right out of her,” said Williams. “My wife, on the other hand, has extreme emotions. She used to cry at the drop of a hat and then she would have really bright times too.” He said in past years, all he’s done is registered for a race and sent out emails asking for donations. “This run has turned into something very big,” said Wiliams. “My sister has contacted every newspaper, magazine, television show, radio show, mayors, MP’s and MPP’s along the route of the run.” The run kicks off Aug. 28 at 7 a.m. People can follow William’s route on the Canal Pursuit Facebook page. He said one aspect that has surprised him while organizing this run is all the stories people have shared with him about their own experiences with depression. “So many people are affected by it,” said Williams. “It’s not just statistics on a chart anymore.” He said his mother told him when she was a kid, her own mother went away to a hospital, came back and didn’t talk about what was going on and then passed away. “She found out much later it was from cervical cancer, but you didn’t say the ‘C’ word back then,” said Williams. “There was a stigma around cancer at the time. Eventually, we’ll get to a similar place with mood disorders. People won’t be afraid to talk about it. We have to keep it in the conversation.” To donate to the Canal Pursuit for Mental Health, with funds going to the Mood Disorder Society of Canada, visit http://tinyurl.com/canalpursuit.

run segments of the race, covering 12.5 kilometers each, with him. “To keep me company and motivated,” he said. The run, in support of the Mood Disorder Society of Canada, is something Williams hopes to turn into an annual run. “The Mood Disorder Society of Canada connects health care providers with people suffering from mood disorders and focuses on getting rid of the stigma around depression,” he said. His goal is to raise $10,000 for the Mood Disorder of Canada. Currently, he is about one third of the way there, with roughly $3,300 in funds raised to date. “The reason I chose the Mood Disorder of Canada is because they want to keep people talking about depressions – things my older brothers held in,” said Williams. He said the message is simple – if you’re in a dark place, talk to someone. “The other part of the message is to get out there and move around,” Williams said. “It’s good for your mental health.” He said he didn’t really start thinking much about depression until last year. “When my oldest brother committed suicide, he left a note,” said Williams. “My dad destroyed the note and said (his death) was an accident, but I knew in my heart it was suicide. I guess it was seen as a weakness – swept under the carpet. It was definitely something people avoided talking about.” He said he recently found out it wasn’t his oldest brother’s first attempt at suicide. He said his daughter wasn’t diagnosed with depression until she was an adult. “She was the little girl with the bright smile at the breakfast table every morning,” said Williams.

Kemptville’s Giving Garden promotes sharing jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

The Giving Garden in Kemptville is exactly that; a garden that gives. “The idea is everything is free,” said Giving Garden volunteer Don Munz. “That’s the hardest concept to get across.” The sign when you enter the Giving Garden reads: “Where you do not see the example, be the example – where you do not see hope, be the hope.” An incident involving people digging up entire plants from the Giving Garden on July 29 prompted a need to reiterate the purpose behind the garden; to harvest what you need and leave the plants in tact to continue producing food for others who need it. “This all started with a man named Terry McEvoy who decided a Giving Garden was needed in Kemptville,” said Munz. He explained people think they have to work at the garden or contribute to take the produce or flowers. “You don’t have to work here or volunteer,” said Munz. “Whatever you need, you can come and get.” He explained every Wednesday, known as Weedless Wednesday, volunteers gather to harvest vegetables to prevent them from rotting and weed the plots. On Aug. 5, volunteers were hard at work picking beans to donate to the local food bank. He said the municipality has been a big help, mowing the grass every two weeks to keep the garden looking like a beautiful park. “We have many different kinds of flowers here,” said Munz. He said people are welcome to come take some vegetables and pick some flowers at the same time. “There are tomatoes, beans, potatoes,

peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, squash; all kinds of stuff,” said Munz. He explained McEvoy’s vision was to create a garden people could come gather vegetables and flowers from and then bring to share with someone they normally wouldn’t. “And then they would pass along the gesture,” said Munz. He said he’s seen a number of neat instances of sharing and giving over the years at the Giving Garden. “You get mothers and their kids out here, picking and weeding,” said Munz. He said the Giving Garden has allowed local food banks, like the Salvation Army, to provide clients with fresh vegetables rather than canned. “Last year, we gave them a little over 120 pounds of fresh tomatoes,” said Munz. He said there are never enough volunteers for the Giving Garden. “We have a solid five volunteers every Wednesday, but we could use more,” said Munz. “Some people think this is a community garden, but it’s not; it’s a giving garden. Everything here is free.” The Giving Garden is just one of the community oriented features at the Ferguson Forest Centre. “The Kinder Wood Trail is for threeto eight-year-olds and has plywood cut outs off the animals you can find in the Ferguson Forest Centre,” said Munz. “The cut outs were made by students from the two high schools in town (North Grenville District High School and St. Michael Catholic High School) and they were painted by the two art classes. There are little signs next to each cut out explaining what the animal is and what they like to eat.” The Giving Garden is located within the Ferguson Forest Centre, right off County Road 43. Stop by on a Wednesday to lend a hand or got check out what the garden has to offer.

What’s the worst health problem that can happen to you? I’m sure many readers would say cancer, stroke or Alzheimer’s Disease. I agree these are all frightful diseases. But there’s another one that occurs gradually as we age. It’s called Sarcopenia ( the loss of muscle mass), and this creeping frailty forces many elderly into nursing homes because their muscles are so weak they can no longer get off the toilet. A recent report from Tufts University in Boston says, sarcopenia robs Dr. Gifford-Jones people of their independence and often leads to the risk of falls, resulting in serious injury. Visit any nursing home and you’ll see multiple examples of sarcopenia. Studies show that sarcopenia begins around age 45 and increases at the rate of one percent a year. That means that by age 65, sedentary people have lost half of their muscle mass. And you cannot lose muscle mass without losing muscle strength. Women are at greater risk than men as they start out in life with one-third less muscle mass than men. Moreover, since they live longer there’s longer duration of muscle loss. So what can you do at an early age to prevent ending your life in a wheelchair? As the elderly age they tend to shy away from strenuous tasks that cause discomfort. This sets the stage for sarcopenia. First, don’t neglect sufficient protein. Dr. Paul Jacques, director of Tufts Nutritional Program says, “It’s estimated that 20 percent of people between the ages of 51 to 70 have inadequate protein intake.” But the Tufts report also states that most North Americans get plenty of protein, but they obtain it the wrong way. Cheeseburgers and fried chicken provide protein, but they also provide too much saturated fat and calories. Researchers stress another important point. You should not only get adequate protein at dinner, but also at other meals. So what’s the appropriate protein math to prevent sarcopenia? The proposed average is 40 to 70 grams a day depending on body weight ( 0.8 grams of protein per 2.2 pounds). So a 125 pound woman would require 46 grams and a 175 pound man 64 grams. In addition, the amount depends on daily activity. What about exercise? It’s been known for decades that weight lifting and working on resistance machines increases muscle mass and strength in young people. But when this approach was tried on older people their muscles did not get larger. The reason for these poor results was the initial fear that to push older people too hard is unwise. I say “amen” to that, because I’ve seen cases of snapped tendons due to the loading of excessive weights. But there is a positive side if weightlifting is done with caution and not pushed to the limit. When researchers increased weights gradually for those between 60 to 72 years it doubled their strength in 12 weeks of training. Some frail 90 year olds tossed their canes away in 8 weeks of graduated exercise. There are other benefits to preserving muscle mass. During illness the body withdraws protein from muscles to aid in the healing process and produces antibodies to fight infection. When sarcopenia is present, there’s less ammunition to fight illness. Dr. William Evans, at the University of Arkansas, cites a study in Finland in which men in their late 60s who had lifted weights for years, had muscle mass similar to non-athletes in their 20s. Joggers however, are not protected from sarcopenia as the stress produced by this sport can’t compete with lifting weights. The message here is that to maintain muscle mass you require an adequate dietary intake of protein along with exercise, preferably using weights. This is not news I like to hear. I’ve enjoyed sports, but not lifting weights. But reluctantly, I keep a pair of weights close to my computer and intermittently use them. I also enjoy replenishing my protein with a six ounce steak (63 grams) and baked potato with skin (5 gm). And to ease my anxiety that I may be protein deficient, I enjoy 5 ounces of red wine (0.3 grams of protein). R0023400233_0813

Local teens ‘Ignite’ to reach ultimate championships

Player of the week This week’s ladies fastball player of the week is Sarah Robinson. arah is the captain of the blue Conquer the Unhealthy You team. This team is undefeated this season, partly due to Sarah’s leadership. Anyone who knows Sarah, knows that she is very enthusiastic (yes that means loud) in everything she does! Joking aside, she is very full of team spirit and always has guidance and encouraging things to say to the players on her team to help them be their best. Coming from a baseballoriented family, she started playing ball when she was three. She played in Kemptville house league teams until she was 14. At 14, she tried out for the boys travelling

ball team and was told “no girls allowed”. Being a better ball player than most of the boys who made the team, she petitioned the board to ensure her place on the team. When Sarah was 16, she played on the Kemptville Thunder women’s team until 18 when she hung up her glove. Other than a few charity tourneys, Sarah has not played ball on a team until this year. KWBSC is starting a ladies division was welcomed by Sarah and she was overheard saying, “I love to play ball it makes me young again.” Sarah is happy to share her enthusiasm for softball with her daughter, Ruby Ann’s T-ball team for the past two seasons.

Imagine arriving at work one morning to find every colleague replaced by someone new. Even the management organization is different: you are the only one left from the original team. Harrison Reed, a North Grenville teen found himself in an analogous position this spring when he arrived for the season’s first practice of Ignite, the boys Ottawa junior competitive ultimate team. Undaunted by the turnover, Reed set out with one goal for the season: qualify for the Canadian Ultimate Championships in August. Ultimate is a non-contact team sport mixing features of soccer, basketball and football. A simple, but demanding, game played around the world, Ultimate uses a flying disc with teams working to catch the disc in their opponent’s end-zone. Early in spring training, the new coaches noted Reed’s experience and leadership skills and asked him to co-captain the team. He accepted the offer and leveraged the opportunity to further his goal. The team’s first competition in May saw them travel to Northampton, MA for the Pio-

Inaugural ‘Ride for Robin’ motorcycle ride to help police officer Sgt. Robin Easey - 1984 Bayshore Shopping Centre Shooting On Aug. 15, the inaugural Ride for Robin will depart the Rideau Carleton Raceway at 10.am. Joining in their official capacity, and as members

of the Ottawa Community, will be the: Ottawa Police Services, Blue Knights Motorcycle Club (comprised of active and retired police officers) and the Women Build (Female Law Enforcement Officers) in conjunction with Habitat for

Humanity This charity motorcycle ride is in support of The Wings of Phoenix Association, raising funds for specialized, clinical team based treatment for individuals who have sustained an injury to the brain and have no access to third party funding. Sgt. Robin Easey was shot on Sept. 1, 1984, when he responded to an armed robbery at the Bayshore Shopping Centre. The consequences of this event left Easey with a severe brain injury, in a wheelchair and legally blind. As an active member of the Ottawa Commu-

nity, whenever possible, Easey leads fund raising efforts for The Wings of Phoenix Association. As an avid motorcycle lover before the shooting, this event is one that Easey is particularly looking forward to. He, along with his wife and children, will lead this ride alongside police colleagues, friends and what is anticipated, several hundred motorcycles. The final destination point is the North Grenville Municipal Centre in Kemptville and businesses in the Old Kemptville district will be profiling the ride and celebrating as they ride through town.

Wait Until Dark’s thrilling opening night at Classic Theatre Festival An all-sold-out sign went up at the Classic Theatre Festival for this weekend’s packed opening night performance of the Frederick Knott thriller Wait Until Dark, an edge-of-your-seat thriller that was turned into a legendary film with Audrey Hepburn and Alan Arkin. The gripping story of a blind woman who must defend herself after her home is invaded by seedy criminals will run at the Festival (54 Beckwith Street East) until Aug. 30, Wednesday to Sunday at 2 p.m. and Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday at 8 p.m. While watching the film version of this play in the comfort of one’s home can be absorbing enough, seeing it live on stage is a different experience, explains artistic producer and director Laurel Smith. “The whole theatre sometimes goes dark, and given how close you are to the stage in our venue, it feels like you will be part of the action during some of the most intense parts of the show,” she said. While this production features the professional debut of two young child actors – Perth’s Madison Miernik and Smiths Falls’ Samantha Salter, who

A standing ovation greeted the cast of the Classic Theatre Festival’s thrilling Wait Until Dark on opening night. A major plot relationship involves nine-year-old Gloria (Madison Miernik) and the blind Susy Hendrix (Alison Smyth), who must work together to prevent a tragedy from unfolding. The show runs until Aug. 30 at 54 Beckwith Street East, with tickets available at www.classictheatre.ca or 1-877-283-1283.

are sharing the key role of nine-yearold Gloria – it also features some familiar faces that have graced previous seasons of the Classic Theatre Festival stage. Indeed, returning from the cast of last summer’s Dial M for Murder (also by Frederick Knott, a brilliant writer who hated writing and was far from prolific, producing only three significant works) is Toronto’s Greg Campbell, taking on the role of the loathsome Mr. Roat. Last summer, he played the scheming, less than likeable Tony Wendice, and so may have gotten used to audiences booing his character at curtain calls. Richard Gélinas, an Ottawa actor, plays a similar role to his Dial M appearance with Carlino, a petty crook and small-time con man who gets roped into a plot beyond his capacity. Also returning this summer is five-season veteran Scott Clarkson, a ringer for 1940s leading men like Fredric March, playing the role of former Marine turned photographer Sam Hendrix. New to the festival stage is Alison Smyth, an Ottawa-born actor and singer who takes on the challenging

role of Susy, a young woman recently blinded in a car accident who is learning how to be independent when her world is turned upside down by the visit of a handsome, rugged stranger named Mike Talman (Alastair Love, returning to Perth after originally appearing in the 2012 production of Mary, Mary). What follows is a plot that builds tension as Susy desperately tries to prevent something tragic from befalling her and Sam. While the show deals with serious topics, it is ultimately about the triumph of good over evil, a theme common to Knott plays: no matter how dire the situation, justice will prevail. Wait Until Dark originally ran for over a year on Broadway beginning in 1966, starring the late Lee Remick, at a time when America was beginning to see major newspaper and TV stories about rising crime rates. Tickets to the Classic Theatre Festival’s Wait Until Dark, along with the Perth through the Ages walking tour and The Lonely Ghosts Walk, are available online at www.classictheatre.ca or calling 1-877-283-1283.

Videos to get you all revved up about personal transportation No doubt about it, I am an auto junkie. Anything with wheels and motors interests me and I’ve enjoyed a long and rewarding career in the industry. Two recent and viral videos that came across my computer recently confirmed my belief that personal transportation design and execution still has the ability to inspire and captivate. The first was from a French company, Swincar that has created and is currently selling a very unique all-terrain vehicle. Their E-Spider is an electrically powered lightweight ATV that holds the driver in a swinging sling cockpit. Each wheel is independently driven by its own 1,000watt electric motor powered by a lithium-ion battery pack. The wheel-units are attached to the body’s frame by hydraulically dampened suspension arms

Robbie spent two years experimenting with different modifications to his dirt bike and ended up with floatation skis attached on both sides of both wheels that allowed the bike to operate on both land and water.

They allow for a very wide range of articulation and permit any of the four wheels to travel independent of each other on very rough and uneven surfaces. The driver seat and safety cage are mounted on a pivot system which keeps the driver’s spine almost perpendicular to the ground no matter what crazy slopes or surfaces the E-Spider is operating on. The seat and foot plates are suspended high enough off the ground to allow the craft to ford shallow streams. The makers state that a single battery charge is good for four hours of extreme trail riding which is very silent and environmentally friendly. Currently it’s only available in Europe but with the success of the ATV market here in Canada, maybe it’s only a matter of time

UCDSB vice principal honoured with Harmony Movement award A champion for equity and diversity within the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) has been selected by Harmony Movement as this year’s winner of the Mary A. Samuel Harmony Leadership in Education Award. Lori Taylor, a vice principal of program with the board who handles diversity issues, will be officially presented with the honour in November during a ceremony in Toronto, said Janelle Yanishewski, outreach and marketing co-ordinator for Harmony Movement. The leadership award pays tribute to an educator in an administrative, or research and academic role, who has made significant contributions in advancing equitable and inclusive education during his/her career. It is named after late human rights advocate Mary A Samuel. “It is a huge honour to win this award because she (Mary Samuel) was such a champion for equity and so passionate about her work,” said Taylor. “I hope to be able to continue that work and do justice to it. “At the same time, in doing equity and social justice work, it is all about community. I am grateful (to be the recipient) but the award really acknowledges the work of everyone who I have had the privilege of working with, and learning alongside, over the years.” Taylor has been a champion for diversity within the UCDSB, first acting as a co-founder of the Queer Ally Alliance (QAA) Club at Thousand Islands Secondary School while a teacher there. She is one of the driving forces behind the board’s annual Equity and Inclusion Forum. She was also one of the organizers behind the #SEEMYVOICE Twitter feed, which provides information on a

With the vehicle in park (or in gear in the case of a manual transmission) grab the cables just ahead of the rear wheels and give them several strong flexes.

1930 Model A Ford driven 100,000 miles since 1999! Norm Grant of Trenton, Ontario, belongs to the Model A Owners of Canada Inc. (http://www. modelaowners.com). In 1999, he purchased his 1930 Model A Ford Tudor, a dependable fun car to commute to work (60 miles a day) and something he could work on himself: “I installed signal lights and halogen headlights for safety. I learned how to shift gears and in 1999 I drove 10,268 miles. The next year, the motor was rebuilt, and after only 60 miles, I broke a new connecting rod and lost some driving time. With the new motor, I drove 9,609 miles in 2001. In 2002 I added another 8,476 miles and I passed the 25,000-mile mark. “In 1932, a Model A was driven from Toronto to Vancouver in 96.25 hours. Our 24-year-old son James and I decided to duplicate the trip and see if we could break the record. On June 10, 2004, we departed Toronto City Hall at 11 p.m. We replaced a burnt exhaust valve in Manitoba and reached Vancouver City Hall at 2 p.m. on June 14, exactly 87 hours after leaving Toronto. By the end of 2004, I passed the 50,000-mile mark. “In 2007 we drove our Model A with three other A’s to the Yukon. I rebuilt the motor before the tour. On June 9, we sent the four Model

“In November 2014, I passed the 100,000-mile mark. It was a long journey and driving the car was only part of the fun. The people I have met on the 100,000-mile journey have made it very special. I wonder what the next 100,000 miles will bring.” I’m always looking for more sto-

Five hundred miles of gravel roads but we made it back in 20 hours in the oldest cars to cross the Arctic Circle in Canada. “By the end of 2007, I had over 70,000 miles on the car. The year 2008 got off to a bad start with an engine rear main bearing going but we were soon back on the road. The car ran great all year and by November I had passed the 80,000-mile mark. “In 2012, the rear main bearing went again and the motor was out for the rest of the year. Early in 2013 the motor was back in but quickly developed a rear main bearing oil leak. A local machine shop installed a rubber seal and stopped the leak.

Twelve athletes from Saltos Athletics in Perth represented Canada at the International Aerobic Gymnastics Championships in San Diego, California July 25 to Aug. 2. Sixteen countries were in attendance, including China, Japan, Australia, Mexico and Argentina, all very strong delegations to compete against. Canada’s delegation consisted of the 12 Saltos athletes, as well as 11 other team members from Hamilton’s World Class Gymnastics. Aerobic Gymnastics is another discipline of gymnastics involving dynamic aerobic movement to music, gymnastics tumbling, jumps, holds, push-ups and flexibility elements done to music. Routines are 1:15 to 1:35 minutes long and are expected to be non-stop, high energy and are judged on Artistic, Execution and Difficulty value by a panel of 12 judges. Allison Tolgyesi from Almonte, a longtime Saltos’ veteran athlete, team leader and five-time international championship competitor, competed as a first-time senior individual woman, scoring well and placing 21st in her category.

sible. With the machine up and running Reed, Susan, Johnny and Victor are ready to be the first to explore that new world. Then the government tells them they won’t be going. Not willing to let others reap their glory Reed, Johnny, and Victor decide to use the machine first. Reed invites Ben, and the four travel to the other world. However, once on the other planet things go badly. Susan manages to bring them home, but Victor is lost, and the resulting explosion changes them forever. I like the cast. I like the special effects. I even like the tweaks they made to the origin of The Fantastic Four and the characters. The rest I didn’t like.

I sat here for two hours for that? Where’s the rest of the movie?” This cast was one of the reasons I was looking forward to this film, and willing to go along with a reboot. In the end I thought Milles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell were good choices for the first family of superheroes, and Toby Kebbell pulls off a classic Dr. Doom. It’s always a shame when good actors get stuck making a terrible movie. Fantastic Four is bad, but whether it’s bad enough to kill the franchise is difficult to say. We can only hope. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

My Take

Mark haskins

The editing makes me think more than one person tried to fix this film. It’s choppy, and has huge gaps in time explained away with the phrase ‘so many years later’. The director has no direction, and can’t seem to decide what movie he’s making. At a guess I’d say he got in way over his head, and didn’t realize he was supposed to be making a superhero movie until the last moment. The worst part though is the story. The story is dragged out way too long, yet still manages to gloss over important details. When you finally do get to the big climactic superhero showdown it’s over before you know it. It left me thinking, “Is that it?

MOVIE: Fantastic Four STARRING: Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Bell, Toby Kebbell and Reg E. Cathey DIRECTOR: Josh Trank RATING: PG There’s no point in sugar coating this. Fantastic Four is awful. Honestly I liked the 2005 Fantastic Four better. A lot better. Dr. Franklin Storm wants to save the world. As head of the Baxter Institute he has the means to do it. He believes the key is inter-dimensional travel, and with the help of some brilliant young minds including his adopted daughter Susan (Kate Mara) and Victor Von Doom (Toby Kebbell) he’s come close. You can imagine his surprise when he learns that Reed Richards (Miles Teller) has done it with a high school science fair project he built with his best friend Ben Grimm (Jamie Bell). Reed is immediately brought to the institute and made part of the team. Dr. Storm’s son Johnny Storm (Michael B. Jordan), a mechanical genius, joins the team, and together they do the impos-
