A fire ripped through a two-storey brick home on Highway 43 in Montague Township, Tuesday, Aug. 15. Firefighters from Merrickville, Smiths Falls and Montague were dispatched to 2506 Highway 43 between Action Drive and Sutton Road. Ontario Provincial Police secured the scene and blocked the highway. Water was drawn from Kilmarnock, and from Queen Street in Smiths Falls to refill tankers. An aerial truck also responded to the blaze. Two propane tanks were reported to be of concern on the side of the house and were later shut off. No one was home at the time of the fire, and no injuries were reported at the time of response.

Lanark County's Great Veggie Grow-off gearing up for final weigh-in It remains hard to believe that in this land of wealth and abundance there are people that do not have enough to eat. While food banks are able to meet some of the shortfall by providing three to five days worth of food each month to our neighbours that have to make a choice between paying the rent and buying groceries, they find it difficult and costly to provide healthy fresh food. Those canned goods collected in Christmas food drives are all appreciated but need to be supplemented with fresh local produce. This is where you, the home gardener, can give critical assistance to your neighbours. All nine Lanark communities were challenged on May 1 at an event at our new Mississippi Mills Youth Centre garden to grow and donate to their local food bank. Presently all four food banks (Carleton Place, Lanark, Perth and Smiths Falls) take donations of freshly grown produce. They have been asked to weigh and record
the community of origin of locally grown donations of food from May 1 until the final weigh-in. Bragging rights will be given to the community that donates the greatest amount of locally grown food as well as to the community with the highest amount of freshly grown food donated per person with the big winner always being our community’s food banks. This Community Challenge, now in its fourth year, expanded last year to include gardeners in communities across Lanark supporting all four of the food banks in the County. The first two years the challenge pitted the municipalities of Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place and Beckwith, the towns supported by the Lanark County Food Bank (a.k.a. the Hunger Stop), and the results were amazing. We saw an increase in people in these towns growing food and sharing it with others. Food Banks have been gearing up to handle this increase in fresh food, for example by accessing
grants and donations to purchase additional coolers. A grand total of 10,094 pounds of healthy local produce was donated to the four food banks last year. At the final weigh-in last fall our judge and gardening adviser extraordinaire, Ed Lawrence, was quick to analyze the numbers and announce the winners.
Mississippi Mills walked away with (but not as quickly as the previous two years) the trophy for the largest amount of fresh garden produce donated to its food bank (3,385 lbs) and Drummond/North Elmsley got the trophy for most food per capita donated to its food bank (283 lbs per 1,000 persons). In the final analysis though,
it is our food bank families that came out on top. The final wrap-up is again scheduled for Thanksgiving, Saturday Oct. 7. Please remember to drop off surplus garden produce at your food bank and stay tuned to learn more about this year’s Great Veggie GrowOff Final Weigh-In.

Take part in shoreline restoration program with Watersheds Canada Summer is in full force and Watersheds Canada is looking for landowners in the Cataraqui watershed to take part in their renowned Natural Edge program. In Spring 2017, Watersheds Canada, in partnership with the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority, received funding from the Great Lakes Guardian Community Fund to naturalize waterfront properties in the Cataraqui Watershed. The program provides an Ecological Toolkit to landowners where they receive a planting of native trees, shrubs, and ground covers along the water’s edge, as well as a planting of a native wildflower garden, a bird box and a bat box. Chlöe Lajoie, Watersheds Canada’s Natural Edge co-ordinator, explains that “native species have adapted to regional environmental conditions and are preferred by local wildlife for shelter and food” and that “one of the main benefits of having a naturalized shoreline through the planting of native trees and shrubs, is that these efforts help to quell soil erosion by stabilizing the shoreline with plant roots.” Lajoie adds that these root systems also “filter any runoff, reducing the volume of nutrients or toxins that could enter the waterway, moreover creating prime habitat for small fish, birds, frogs and mammals." Watersheds Canada co-ordinates all preparatory planning, and staff are on-hand to complete the naturalization and planting process. Additionally, the Natural Edge provides landowners with followup and support to ensure that the new vegetation is able to thrive. The program provides a free site visit with landowners to discuss shoreline concerns, pro-
vide recommendations and assess planting conditions. A personalized planting plan is created, which includes photos of selected planting areas and ideal plant species. Owners are then provided with information which outlines how to ensure the new vegetation thrives, as well as followup and support. Participating landowners are asked to contribute only 25 per cent of the total costs for their site. “All advice is optional,” explains Lajoie. “The goals and preferences of the landowner are what drive the plan, and we work with landowners to complete projects that are economically feasible on a case-by-case basis. Watersheds Canada coordinates the ordering, delivering and planting, along with tools, materials and labour to complete the project. Landowners can participate in the planting, but it is optional and voluntary.” This year, Watersheds Canada is seeking participants who own shoreline property anywhere within the Cataraqui watershed. Our goal is to raise awareness and to take steps on waterfront properties to help reduce negative effects on the environment” said Barbara King, Watersheds Canada’s executive director. “If you have property in a highly developed area or know you have shoreline erosion issues, this is a great way to make improvements that will help maintain water quality and create habitat.” Any landowner within the Cataraqui watershed who is interested in a free site visit should contact Lajoie at Watersheds Canada, 613-2641244 or naturaledge@watersheds.ca.

RVCA offers landowners options for tree planting along the waterfront Money is available to landowners interested in planting trees. The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority offers private landowners treeplanting programs that help them get technical advice, planting plans, and funding for trees. “We have numerous community-minded partners providing funding to projects to help reduce landowner costs,” says Scott Danford, RVCA Forestry Program Manager. “We offer planting programs that make it easy and affordable for landowners.” To be eligible, landowners need at least one acre of land and to be willing to plant a minimum of 500 trees. If you have the space, RVCA can help get trees growing on your land for 15 cents per tree. Since 1983, RVCA has planted over 5.25 million trees on private property for landowners. “The RVCA provides professional reforestation services including the site preparation, planning, and planting,” says Danford. “We also ensure success, with post-planting visits and followup operations. It is a great deal at 15 cents a tree.” Now is the time to book a free site visit, where RVCA staff will meet to discuss the landowner’s objectives and to evaluate the best way to reforest the land. Planting could take place in spring 2018.
Tree-planting is one the most practical ways to take care of our watershed and the wider environment. Trees improve local biodiversity by providing shelter for birds and wildlife, while at the same time providing us with windbreaks, screening, and shade. Forests act as a major filter and cleansing system for water that soaks into the ground and feeds our wells and underground water systems. The newly-planted trees take a little tender loving care in their early years, but once they are “free-growing”, they provide all of these advantages for up to 80 years or more. Trees are vital for a healthy and sustainable future; start planning now for planting next spring. The program is made possible thanks to the RVCA’s 18 member municipalities, the City of Ottawa’s Green Acre Program, the Province of Ontario’s 50 Million Tree Program, Forest Ontario, and numerous private businesses and watershed residents who donate to the tree-planting program. To get more information or to book a free site visit, contact Scott Danford, RVCA Forestry Program Manager, at 613-692-3571 or 1-800387-5304, ext. 1175. Now is the time to take root and grow a green legacy. Submitted by RVCA

ALS Walk celebrates 20 years in Smiths Falls; volunteers sought for 2018 BY LAURIE WEIR
ljweir@metroland.com
The ALS Walk in Smiths Falls celebrates 20 years in September and what better way to mark a milestone than with cake? Come join the fun while raising money and awareness for the ASL Society of Canada. Special prizes are in store for those raising at least $100 for the cause, including a trip for two to Ireland. For each increment of $100, you will receive a ballot for this special draw. VIA Rail is also offering a $1,000 promotional certificate. But participants do not have to redeem their prizes; they can be donated back to the ALS Society. For those raising $150 – to celebrate Canada’s birthday – you will receive a special ALS Canada bammie, plus a 2017 T-shirt. Each walker will receive a T-shirt. The Smiths Falls ALS Walk will take place Sept. 9 at Lower Reach Park. Sandra Burson, organizer of this event, has been involved for the past 19 years, but this year will mark her final year. “We need to get some volunteers on board to help with planning,” she said."I am looking for someone to step forward to coordinate and organize future walk events. I will make myself available for the first year to
help the new coordinator with the planning and organizing of the walk event if needed. Anyone interested in coordinating the local walk, please contact Lianne Johnston, regional manager at 1-800267-4257 or myself at 613-284-1459." Burson said she will still participate in the local walk. She said she is hoping some of those volunteers who help out during the day of the event, will be willing to give even more time to the behind the scenes planning that goes on long before the event takes place. The walk registration will begin at 9 a.m. with opening ceremonies at 10 a.m. at the Kinsmen pavilion where co-emcee, Dr. Mark Czubak, chiropractor in Smiths Falls, will speak to participants. "I'm hoping that some of the past participants may want to say a few words to the present participants," Burson said. A silent auction – thanks to many local donors – will be on site, and a barbecue partially sponsored by M&M Meats, will take place following the 5km walk. “We have raised $505,000 (since its inception) for ALS Canada,” said Burson. “That’s pretty good for this small community.” Last year the event raised some $50,000. She said she’s hoping that people will come take part this year that have

About ALS According to the ALS Canada website, ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a progressive, neurodegenerative terminal illness that has no cure. Nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control muscle movement die. ALS robs you of your ability to walk, talk, swallow and eventually breathe. In Canada, two to three people are diagnosed with ASL everyday. Symptoms include progressive paralysis, shortness of breath or difficulty
standing for long periods of time. There may be difficulty clenching fists or grasping objects, slurred or slower speech, unexplained falls, choking or difficulty swallowing. There are about 2,500 to 3,000 people in Canada living with ALS right now. Five to 10 per cent of cases are familial - inherited through a mutated gene – and the life expectancy is two to five years. The cost for the average family over the course of the disease is between $150,000 to $250,000. ALS is often diagnosed by ruling out other diseases.

SMITHS FALLS KIA
Lanark County seeking funds for commuter cycling program Lanark County council passed a motion to submit a list of identified projects for the Ontario Municipal Commuter Cycling Program (OMCCP) and to request accelerated funding to complete them as soon as possible. Chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves presented a report at the regular meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 9, outlining the county’s application to the program — which is a $42.5 million investment by the province into commuter cycling infrastructure for 2017, with additional funds over the next three years. It is part of the Ontario Climate Change Action Plan designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and aims to invest cap-and-trade proceeds into commuter cycling initiatives. Greaves noted people need safe cycling routes to commute to work. Three projects have been identified: adding a gravel and stone dust base to the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail (OVRT) between Montague and Mississippi Mills for $1.3 million; adding decking and railings to the former railway bridge in Pakenham on the OVRT for $400,000; and paving 17.3 kilometres of shoulders on both sides
of County Road 43 between Perth and Smiths Falls for $1.06 million. “All of these projects have the potential to entice commuters to embrace cycling to work,” he said. “It will also require public education and promotion by Lanark County, local municipalities, the health unit and other partners.” All municipalities can apply for funding, and Mississippi Mills and Carleton Place have expressed an interest in paving a section of the OVRT between Almonte and Carleton Place. “The OMCCP is an opportunity for Lanark County to see some of the carbon tax funds reinvested for the benefit of our community,” Greaves said. For more information, contact Kurt Greaves, county chief administrative officer, at 1-888-9-LANARK, ext. 1101. Active transportation plan approved Council has adopted the Lanark County Active Transportation Plan, which is intended to summarize current projects for active transportation infrastructure, help in developing additional future improvements and assist with grant applications. The
CRAAAZY 8TH !!! ANNIVERSARY SALE
report was presented by Greaves at the economic development committee meeting in June. It ties in with the Ontario Municipal Commuter Cycling Program that was announced in May, which provides 80 per cent funding of eligible project costs using funds from the provincial cap-and-trade program. The plan outlines the benefits of active transportation, including healthier lifestyles, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, reduced wear and tear on roads and bridges, less traffic congestion and increased eco-friendly tourism. To date, the county has facilitated increased active transportation by adopting a paved shoulder program, building multi-use trails and building an active transportation bridge. In addition to highlighting work completed to date, Greaves said the document helps with future planning and aligns itself to co-ordinate future activities with local municipalities, the province and other organizations. “The infrastructure needed to address these issues is needed to literally put Lanark County on the map of activity transportation-friendly places to live and visit,” the plan states. The
FRI. AUG. 25TH -9AM TO 6PM SAT. AUG. 26TH - 9AM TO 5PM SUN. AUG. 27TH - 10AM TO 2PM AMAZING DOOR PRIZES
plan also aligns with other county plans, including the Transportation Master Plan, the Sustainable Community Official Plan and the Community Vision and County Strategic Plan, and it supports the county’s trails initiatives. By the end of this year, the total paved shoulder count in Lanark County will be 180 kilometres, or 33 per cent of the county road system. The goal is to complete 57 per cent by the end of 2020. Contracts for trail work approved Council has approved work on two bridges in Carleton Place that are part of the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail (OVRT). A contract has been awarded to Thomas Fuller Construction Co. Ltd. to use galvanized steel railings in the amount of $136,000. As well, the chief administrative officer has been authorized to provide a letter of support to Beautiful Eastern Association of Snowmobile Trails (BEAST) for an infrastructure funding application for the two bridges. In April, the county issued a request or proposals for design-build services for the project. The successful bidder proposed using a modern tubular railing system

that meets code requirements and will provide safe passage for pedestrians, including those with disabilities, as well as cyclists and motorized recreational and maintenance vehicles. The trails budget allocated $500,000 for repairing/replacing six bridges on the OVRT. The application in partnership with BEAST could fund 85 per cent of the cost of the two bridges. Eligibility to receive the provincial tourism infrastructure funding is contingent on the project advancing snowmobile tourism opportunities across Ontario. Repairing the bridges will allow the OVRT to be open year-round, thereby generating economic activity within connected communities. Studies show significant economic activity is generated through snowmobiling. For more information, contact Terry McCann, director of public works, at 1-888-9-LANARK, ext. 3190.

COMMENTARY
So much for patience
H
ow many of us have honked the horn when the driver of the vehicle directly ahead fails to hit the gas within two seconds of the light changing red? Or perhaps passed on the shoulder when a car is waiting to make a left turn and there might only be one vehicle coming from the opposite direction? How about cutting through a gas station or commercial parking lot at an intersection rather than taking the extra few seconds to stop on a red and then turn right? This scribe is certainly guilty on counts one and three, not to mention a few other examples of wanting to save a few seconds of travel time. Maybe all of those time savers added up over the course of many years could produce a tangible result in terms of gas money. In reality, though, it’s an indication of just how impatient many of us are
I
as we go about our daily routines. Why do we get so frustrated by something that, in the grand scheme of things, is so trivial? We’d rather take decisive and possibly questionable action demonstrating poor judgement as drivers than to have to wait for a few seconds for the inevitable to happen. Is it naïve to suggest that things did not seem to be so rushed and so contentious behind the wheel that many years ago? Some of us who have laid into our car horns or been honked at for no legitimate reason are starting to wonder if maybe there is something to what they say about patience being a virtue. If we are willing to consider adopting aggressive driving practices for the sake of a few seconds that really add nothing to our lives, then it might be time to reflect on what we are doing.

t wasn’t a secret for long ... even if it was meant to be. But no one got a brand-new car without the news spreading pretty fast. Being next farm to Uncle Alec’s though, meant that we got a look at the new Plymouth before anyone else at Northcote. And what a beauty it was. Certainly many steps up from the old Model T with the hole in the back floor, and the two front fenders different colours, which we got in a trade. I was just as excited as was my little friend Velma when the new car came into her family. My sister Audrey wondered where the money came from. Did Uncle Alec sell off his herd of cattle, or his workhorses? No, he didn’t. The cows and

the horses were right there in the barnyard. Uncle Alec, the good neighbour that he was, was more than generous letting us all have a ride in the new Plymouth, taking Mother to Briscoe’s General Store, and our family taking turns, and once driving Velma and me all the way to Douglas. He was pretty fussy about his new car too. None of his sons were allowed behind the steering wheel, even though they were old enough to drive. Even when they were courting, they had to take the horse and buggy, just like every other young fella in Northcote, who wasn’t lucky enough to have a new Plymouth sitting in his yard.

Yes, he was pretty fussy ... at least at the start of ownership. But like all things bought for use on the farm back then, the time would come when it would have to be put into other service. It wasn’t that the thrill of

ernment to award this quantum of money to Mr. Khadr. However, I can suggest that the government recognized it would most certainly lose its efforts to oppose Mr. Khadr’s $20 million lawsuit (at the cost to taxpayers of many more millions), given that the Federal Court, the Federal Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court had all unequivocally found that both Mr. Khadr’s constitutional rights as a Canadian citizen and the principles of fundamental justice were significantly violated. This conclusion cannot be re-litigated; it stands as a fact. Moreover, given the previous $10.5 million settlement to Maher Arar, and multimillion

settlements for wrongful conviction for Stephen Truscott in 2007, ($6.5 million) and David Milgaard in 1999 ($10 million), a settlement of $10.5 million seems plausibly reasonable. Major Cooper goes on in his letter to refute my claims that Mr. Khadr was a child soldier at the time he was captured, that his Charter rights were infringed upon, and that he was tortured while imprisoned. On the claims of Charter rights violation, Major Cooper gravely mistakes the point. Irrespective of how the American government chose to proceed with its much-impugned military commissions (which the former chief Prosecutor Colonel Morris Davis subsequently termed “neither military nor justice”),
Mr. Khadr’s Charter rights were violated, as determined by the Supreme Court, by two Canadian government officials who traveled to Guantanamo and interrogated Mr. Khadr, knowing he had been deliberately sleep deprived for several weeks, and then shared the resulting information with U.S. authorities. On the subject of torture, prolonged sleep deprivation of a 15 year old constitutes torture, pure and simple. That Mr. Khadr was subjected to this, and other ill treatment is very well documented. On the subject of child soldier status, as of October 2011, 100 countries in the world, including Canada, but not the U.S., have signed the Paris Principles which recognize as a child soldier
“any person below 18 years of age who is or who has been recruited or used by an armed force or armed group in any capacity.” Omar Khadr clearly fit this definition, when his father let him travel with Al Qaeda-linked insurgents as a translator. The “unlawful enemy combatant” term Major Cooper mentions is a term employed by the Bush Administration, which was vague, unprecedented and later led to numerous legal problems. In 2006 the U.S. Supreme Court found the military justice commissions at Guantanamo to be illegal under both military justice law and the Geneva Conventions – including Common Article 3 of the Third Geneva Convention because the commissions had the power to convict based on
the full value out of the dollars he spent on it. No longer did we have to take our shoes off when we got in the Plymouth, and it wasn’t unusual to see Uncle Alec unload a few bags of wheat from the grist mill. But I knew the new car had lost its glory when I was over playing with Velma one Satur-
day, and Uncle Alec had parked the car close to the barn. When he wheeled the car over to the house to tell Aunt Bertha he’d be back in time for supper, a Holstein calf had its head out one back window, and a sheep out the other. Uncle Alec headed into Renfrew to market the two, and the fastest way to get there was in the

Runciman leaves Senate with sense of accomplishment Senator Bob Runciman departs the Senate this week with a solid record of legislative accomplishment. Runciman was appointed to the Senate on Jan. 29, 2010, by thenPrime Minister Stephen Harper. His last day is Aug. 9. In his 7.5 years in the Upper Chamber, he has chaired two committees, including the Legal and Constitutional Affairs committee for the last five-plus years. “It was a great honour to chair the Legal and Constitutional Affairs committee, which traditionally has been one of the busiest on Parliament Hill,” Runciman said. “And it was a real honour to have the opportunity to work on that committee with people such as Serge Joyal and
George Baker, whom I’ve admired for years.” During his time as chair, the committee dealt with a number of significant pieces of legislation – a rewriting of the law relating to prostitution, changes to the law governing accused who are found not criminally responsible due to mental illness, major changes

Wet weather in most of Rideau watershed, but record rain, flooding in North Gower metres to the south of the village, and 131 millimetres to the east — all on July 24. Of the greatest impact was the total of 190 millimetres recorded for the day near the village centre, after a thunderstorm cell passed through around 7 p.m. The combination of soils that were already saturated from previous rains, with no capacity to absorb any more, along with the higher ground around North Gower, caused rapid run-off shortly after the rain began in the early morning on July 24. As the rain continued throughout the day, flows reached flood stage and overtopped the banks. The heavy rain in the village core toward the end of the storm combined with the flow passing through, causing the flooding that ex-
ceeded the 100-year flood level by as much as 62 centimetres. The rainfall also exceeded the 100-year precipitation amount (123 millimetres). The erratic nature of the system that brought the heavy rains to eastern Ontario on July 24 made it difficult for forecasters to predict where the rain would fall. It appeared through the preceding weekend that southwestern Ontario was threatened with a significant storm. Forecasts for eastern Ontario indicated only showers and the possibility of thunderstorms. However, it came clear later on Sunday that the system track would be through eastern Ontario, and at 3:30 a.m., the Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC) issued a severe rainfall warning for eastern Ontario as the
rain was starting. The warning stated that, causing unprecedented flooding that 30 to 40 millimetres could be ex- of homes, businesses and agricultural pected, with up to 100 millimetres in fields in the area. thunderstorms.

On Jan. 17, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority downgraded the drought status in the watershed from “moderate” — which had been carried over from a dry year in 2016 — to “minor.” The “minor” status was kept in place because of uncertainty about groundwater conditions that couldn’t be checked until spring. The status was then removed on April 19, after three months of above normal precipitation that went a long way to recharging groundwater aquifers. Since February, rainfall totals each month have been an average of 1.65 times normal. It is not unusual for there to be above normal amounts of rain a few times each year. What has been experienced in 2017, though, is not rainfall 10 or 20 millimetres above normal for a few months; it has been well above normal for six consecutive months, such that close to a normal year of rain has fallen in half the year at each of the climate stations in and around the Rideau watershed. An early thaw in March looked like it could be the spring freshet, and a minor one at that. However, rain over the first week of April of 70 to 80 millimetres — and warm enough temperatures to melt the remaining snow — brought on the spring freshet peak for most of the Rideau system, reaching a 1:4 year frequency flow of 456 cubic metres per second (centimetres), as measured at the Rideau River monitoring station in Ottawa. Basically, a tumultuous spring followed that didn’t quit. Cooler than normal temperatures persisted, along with frequent rainfall. Rain over two weeks in early May caused second, slightly lower peaks on the Rideau and Jock rivers as well as Kemptville Creek. The Tay River reached its highest in 2017 on May 7, as the rain — combined with flood waters from Bobs and Christie Lakes — passed through the system. On average, about 40 per cent of days in a year have some rain recorded. This year, the average is about 55 per cent since April 1, with the Ottawa airport having rain on 62 per cent of days. As a result, water levels throughout the watershed have continued to be above normal. The rain that fell in early May over the Rideau watershed was in the order of 135 millimetres recorded over 10 days. On July 24, rain started to fall in the early morning. By the time it stopped that evening, 79 millimetres had been recorded at the Ottawa Airport, 64 millimetres at Franktown near the headwaters of Stevens Creek and 71 millimetres at Kemptville. At Smiths Falls, 100 millimetres was recorded. These rains caused flows to increase throughout the Rideau watershed. Of greater significance were the rains that fell in the North Gower area, recorded by local gauge readers and City of Ottawa staff: 135 and 127 millimetres to the west, 120 millimetres on the north side, 108 milli-

Award-winning Robinson returns for Classic Theatre's annual mystery thriller If living life passionately is a sign of success, then Lindsay Robinson is a successful person. Robinson is currently in Perth to play the role of an archeologist in the comedy-thriller I’ll Be Back Before Midnight, the annual nail-biter that opens at the Classic Theatre Festival’s mainstage on Aug. 18 at 54 Beckwith St. E. I’ll Be Back Before Midnight, the most produced play in Canadian history, is an Alfred Hitchcock-style psychological thriller about a young Toronto couple who leave the big city to get away from it all — only to encounter weird happenings in the spooky old country farmhouse they decide to rent. Penned by prolific Canadian writer Peter Colley, who also recently opened a new musical about the life of Terry Fox, Marathon of Hope, it combines the spine-tingling building of tension and quirky humour of a Hitchcock film. For Robinson, it represents another in a long series of roles that have won him award nominations from the likes
of Broadway World, Spirit of the Industry Awards and the Calgary Theatre Alliance. His star turn in the comedy Arms and the Man last year at the Classic Theatre Festival helped snag that show a best production nod from the Capital Critics Circle. Robinson is a multitalented individual who — in addition to being a skilled performer, personal trainer, singer-songwriter and video producer — is studying to become a medical physician. In a twist on the line “is there a doctor in the house?” Robinson recently provided medical assistance to a distressed theatre patron at B.C.’s Blue Bridge Repertory Theatre. “I have a passion for helping people, and I think a combined career as an actor and emergency room doctor allows me that chance,” says Robinson, who has also appeared in Perth as the philandering central character in Neil Simon’s debut Broadway comedy Come Blow Your Horn. Since 2007, the Vancouver Island

Lindsay Robinson returns to the Classic Theatre Festival in Perth to star in the comedy-thriller I’ll Be Back Before Midnight, which opens Aug. 18 at 54 Beckwith St. E. and runs until Sept. 10.
NEW PRICE
born-and-raised Robinson has been working non-stop in professional theatre, television and film, from recent spots on the Food Network’s Giving You the Business and a pilot for the E1 Network called Mergers and Acquisitions to commercials for Samsung and Sears and a new web series called Sweet Jayne. Robinson eagerly grabs every moment as an opportunity to express himself artistically, as the recent web series Mini Series attests: a road trip from Vancouver to Toronto inspired a daily episode of a web series that was written, edited and posted each night along their journey. Robinson is not shy about taking on new and heavy-duty challenges. His professional training is extensive, from the New York-based American Academy of Dramatic Arts to the intensive program at the Canadian College of Performing Arts, which entailed six days a week of choreography, directing, singing, acting and dancing for two years. During the third year, he joined
a co-operative theatre company of 12, who spent three months working on and offstage for three productions. He also recently just completed the Banff Professional Theatre training program in conjunction with the Citadel Theatre. He is also busy completing a libretto and composing music in conjunction with the Vancouver Island Symphony, putting together a show for two singers — one of whom is a member of the original Three Canadian Tenors — and composing the music for a 60-piece orchestra. Tickets to I’ll Be Back Before Midnight, which runs Tuesday to Sunday at 2 p.m., as well as at 8 p.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays, are available by calling 1-877-283-1283 or online at www.classictheatre.ca. Ticket holders receive a discount on the Perth Through the Ages historic theatrical walking play, which runs until Aug. 27, and the Lonely Ghosts Walk, which closes Aug. 25.

Local mystery writer Randy Ferrier’s new book is finally out! ‘Kentucky Rose Garden’ will be available at Brownlee’s Metro, Barnabe’s Independent, The Book Nook and The Bookworm in Perth. Look for his displays at the front of both grocery stores. ‘Kentucky Rose Garden’ is a story about destiny, fate and what we choose to believe. It’s a story about growing up, leaving home and trading one sort of life for an entirely different set of circumstances. It’s a love story and a horror story wrapped up in one. It’s a trip back to the past, where nothing is ever remembered as it really was. Roy Charlotte is coming of age in 1930’s Depression era America. If that’s not difficult enough, financial strife has led to his arrival at Oak Hill, the great house in Covington, Kentucky belonging to his mother’s two estranged aunts. Oak Hill is not your ordinary house, nor are his two great aunts anything close to resembling a pair of doting old ladies. For a farm boy from Upstate New York used to living a hard but simple existence, life has just turned on a dime! Inside Oak Hill’s gates awaits a world of privilege but that’s not all that waits for young Roy. He soon comes to realize that his newfound ease of living comes at a price - a price higher than anyone should ever be expected to pay! If you enjoyed R.M. Ferrier’s other books and are looking for a summer escape, take a chance on ‘Kentucky Rose Garden!’ Submitted by Randy Ferrier

Discovering the richness of Rose Hill Nature Reserve The general public will have a unique opportunity to visit Rose Hill Nature Reserve Saturday, Aug. 19 to explore the new trails and learn about the rich biodiversity found there. Rose Hill is a 358-acre wilderness property in the rugged, hilly landscape north east of Denbigh in Addington Highlands. In the spring of 2017, the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) engaged a professional ecologist to prepare a scientific report describing the natural history and ecological features of the Nature Reserve, as well as conduct fieldwork to inventory the species on the property. At our Aug. 19 event, visitors will hear about some of the discoveries of the field study and learn about the ecological significance of Rose Hill. An initial field study was conducted in 2012 when the first 100-acre parcel was acquired by the Land Trust. That first report stated that one of the most remarkable aspects of this property is its lack of invasive plant species which gives a pretty good indication of its relatively untouched, wild condition. This year’s study will provide MMLT with the necessary information to prepare a long-term management plan for the Nature Reserve. Land trusts are mandated to protect the properties in their care forever, which in legal
terms means a 999-year commitment, renewable. Over the past year, area volunteers have extended the trail network by opening up a long-unused trail around Fufflemucker Pond. Visitors will be guided along the trail from and to the lovely picnic spot beside the pond where we’ll gather to hear Cathy Keddy, the chair of MMLT’s Ecological Stewardship Committee, share the findings of the field study to date. After lunch, you can meander along the trail around the perimeter of the pond looking for the rare species described. Registration for the nature walk is at 10:30 a.m. at the Brodey Trail entrance on Rose Hill Road. Admission is $10. Bring along a picnic lunch to enjoy beside Fufflemucker Pond. Don’t forget your camera — the scenery is beautiful and you may catch a shot of something special. Directions to Rose Hill Nature Reserve from both south and north are provided below: From Kaladar at the junction of Hwy 7 and Hwy 41, travel north for 65.4 km to Rose Hill Road. and turn right.

BDP’s Lysistrata is ‘entertaining and hilarious’ at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre Perth’s BarnDoor Productions has brushed the cobwebs off a classic and brought a new musical version of an ancient Greek play to the stage at Full Circle Theatre, one that is being called “entertaining and hilarious” by playgoers. Lysistrata, as staged by BDP, is a fast, snappy and jazzy musical about how the women of Greece band together to stop a war. Their weapon of choice: sex. It’s an unequal battle that the men simply cannot win. The cast of 14 throw themselves into the fun from the first number, as the show opens with a full-on Broadway-style chorus number to set the scene, which is “Athens, in the good-old, badold, terrible days”. The plays centres, naturally enough, on the character of Lysistrata, played with energy, sass and verve by Satinka Schilling. Locked up in the Acropolis, the women prepare for a siege as the men send a Magistrate (Gary King, returning to the BDP stage after a number of years) to deal with the situation. His long-winded ramblings are soon put in their place with “Shut your mouth! We’ll mind your business!” as the women take over the reins of Athens. Having dealt with the men and growing rebellion among the women (who just want to go home to get their “wool spread on the bed”), Lysistrata ends the first act with the solo “Lycon, My Husband”, a song that is actually based on music that goes back as far as the 5th century B.C., but feels thoroughly modern as well. If the first act, as an opening-nighter said at intermission, is “naughty, but fun” with lots of laughs and music, the second act is a jaw-dropper. It’s been several months since the women started their protest and the effect on the men is suddenly clearly visible -- even on the Chorus of Old Men, stripped to their underwear to be ready for a fight (not to worry: it’s very funny Greek underwear). A procession of men arrive -- each in a more delicate condition than the last. When one young woman’s soldier
husband comes back from the front, she is assigned to “bring him to the boil and keep him that way”, which she does in a fun duet “Baby, I’m not saying I don’t love you”, performed by Miranda Wilson and Adam Bond. Wilson’s long dance experience (she’s a ripe old seventeen now) is used extensively through the show, from the opening number to the Dance of Reconciliation, the embodiment of Peace -- whose costume is a map of Greece. By the time a Spartan arrives to negotiate peace, all the stops are out and the puns (Greek word!) fly fast and furiously. Scott Duncan as the Spartan draws huge laughs with his outrageous accent, his outrageous physical movements and his fun song about peace -- which nearly leads to a new war. Finally, all is settled, peace is declared and the whole group come together to sing “Io Paean”, literally “Joy To The World”, only to be interrupted by belated bad news from the front, which throws the cold light of reality onto the show and, after two acts of outrageous hilarity, it ends with a sobering reminder. With a “classical” set that reflects the magnificent pink marble of the Acropolis, a set of Greek-styled costumes created by Janice Jacklin and Cheryl Moss that shimmer and flow and float (and oh, those Greek helmets!), and a musical score that brings together ancient-sounding flutes and harps with Broadway brass and drums, Lysistrata is an hour and fifty minutes of laughs and naughty jokes and outrageous fun -- with a tiny little hint of a message to it -- much as Aristophanes envisioned 2,428 years ago. Lysistrata has only four more performances: August 17, 18, 19 at 7:30 p.m. and August 20 at 1:30 p.m., all at the air-conditioned, groundlevel, fully barrier-free Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street, Perth, near Last Duel Park. Tickets are just $20 reserved; $22 at the door; students $10. To reserve, simply call 613 267 1884 or visit www.barndoorproductions.ca. No credit cards required; cash at the performance is requested.

Rideau Canal was built at heavy cost in lives and money In 1832, Lieutenant-Colonel John By was recalled to England. His superiors charged he had made unauthorized expenditures while leading the highly successful engineering and construction of the Rideau Canal in Canada. As a result of his recall Lt.-Col. By’s reputation was at stake. In an effort to reinstate his previous status, his wife Esther wrote a letter to the military authorities outlining his successes and arguing that the expenditures were worthwhile. Her plea failed to move the principals. A Parliamentary committee eventually exonerated By. But despite a personal plea to the Duke of Wellington and other leaders (the Duke had recommended him for duty in Canada), asking for a review of his case, Lt.-Col. By never received any sort of formal commendation for his work on the canal. In declining health By was eventually placed on the unemployed list. He retired to his country home Shernfold Park near the village of Frant, Sussex (now East Sussex) not far from the town of Royal Tunbridge Wells. He died a broken man on Feb. 1, 1836 at age 56. By’s story had a sad ending for him and his family. However the biggest project of his life as a Royal Engineer, the Rideau Canal in Eastern Ontario, remains an engineering marvel. That fact was underlined in 2007 when the canal, which runs 202 kilometres from Ottawa (originally named Bytown) to Kingston and the St. Lawrence River, was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is the longest continually operated canal system in North
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
America. In July when our friends Martin and Wendy Ireton from West Yorkshire were visiting, we made two day trips to the Rideau Canal. The first was to the picturesque canal-side village of Merrickville which has long been a favourite destination for my wife Kathleen and I. Martin and Wendy have a friend in England who owns a canal boat (a traditional English long boat) and they have taken a number of trips with him. I have also been fortunate enough to visit the vessel on one occasion. Martin particularly enjoyed watching as vessels navigated the Merrickville locks. We visited on a week day. But because it is high season for the canal the locks were busy. He was intrigued to find Parks Canada staff operating the locks and to hear that is the norm along the Rideau Canal system. In England boaters who use the country’s vast network of canals are given keys which allow them to control the locks themselves, thus reducing staffing needs. On hearing that cost-cutting has further reduced the already limited canal season in Ontario, Martin predicted that we will eventually adopt a similar system to theirs. The difference of course is that canals in the United
Kingdom can be used year-round jor’s Hill Park, behind the Chateau while the intensity of our winter limits Laurier, where a statue of Lt.-Col.

and figures. The Rideau Canal, which was constructed in what was then a relatively unexplored part of the country, was completed between 1826 and 1832, mainly during five spring and summer construction seasons. When it opened on May 24, 1832 it featured 50 dams and 47 masonry locks. The project allowed navigation of a river (the Rideau) which previously could be used only by those willing to carry birch bark canoes on lengthy portages through largely uninhabited country. I would be extremely remiss if I failed to mention the effort and sacrifice of so many Rideau Canal workers, the majority of them Irish “navvies.” They laboured in appalling conditions and an estimated 1,000 workers or their family members died as a result of dangerous working conditions or diseases, primarily malaria. Most lie in unmarked graves along the canal route. Memorials to the workSee MAGUIRE page 17
Car Counsellor gives readers tires and brake recommendations “Hi Brian, Would there be any problems with having different brands of tires on same car? Like front and back. I am not talking about going to the track, just regular street driving. My Porsche 911’s tires always wear out more on the back, 2 to 1. Phil As long as you match load and speed ratings and general tread design (and of course all-seasons vs. winters) you shouldn’t run into any trouble with mixing tire manufacturers front to back. “Brian, I have a 2000 Echo Toyota and it runs like new. It has about 235,000 km on it and I currently drive it about 7,000 km per year. I have one problem with it which has been going for a number of years. When it is damp or rains, the wheels squeak when I put on the brakes. It has been worse this summer because of all the rain. I take it to the repair shop where I receive excellent treatment but they are not able to solve the problem. What can I do? Thank you for considering this question.” Bob
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
Of course it’s hard to be accurate without examining or driving the car, but I suspect the cause is rust build up on the brake rotors on the front or brake drums on the rear (depending on where the noise is coming from). If an examination confirms this, I would suggest replacing the front rotors with zinc-coated ones (Halten is a good brand for example). I’d also suggest replacing the brake pads at the same time with a good quality set (AC Delco Advantage is the brand that I’ve had no problems with). I’m not sure if anyone manufactures a zinc-coated rear drum but in most cases they can be easily machined to remove any rust or glazing if they’re not too worn. With a vehicle of your Toyota’s age and mileage, your techs should check
the disc brake caliper system very carefully for any wear that might be keeping the pads engaged when you release the brakes. A little noise is normal for the first few stops of the day for a vehicle that’s parked outside and exposed to the elements. Also avoid parking on grass or any other poorly drained surface. “Hi Brian, I read your column from time to time as it has great advice. My wife and I have been driving for 55 odd years and over that time we have had new tires installed, winter tires installed and summer tires exchanged for winter tires. And the regular maintenance goes on.
This year my wife had her summer tires, which were mounted on rims, installed at the same garage that put her winter tires on last fall. After driving about 200 km, the front left wheel came off and she watched it go into the ditch on the opposite side of the road and was able to bring the car to a safe stop on the shoulder of the road. Lucky this happened on a county road without traffic and no one else was involved. The garage owner said it was our fault for not bringing the car back to his shop to have the wheels re-torqued. He did not suggest having the wheels retorqued last fall when he installed the winter tires. He straightened some plates behind the brake rotor and put a used rim on the car, but refuses to repair the body damage to the fender. Is it necessary to have car wheels re-torqued now? Should the rotor have been changed to a new one? Who is responsible for the damages?

Yes these wheel nuts still need to be re-torqued after a 100 km or so of driving. As to who is responsible for the damage, it may seem unfair and abrupt but the old courtroom/police adage applies “ignorance is no excuse”.

Musical moments are magical for local bridge enthusiast BY IRIS WINSTON
Music has been an important part of Ron Brown’s life for as long as he can remember. “I was always composing something,” he says. “I thought everybody did that and didn’t know there was anything unusual about what I was doing.” He adds that only the surprised reaction of a therapist when he mentioned he had been composing since he was a child made him realize that he had an unusual ability. “I was in my 50s then,” recalls the Smiths Falls resident, who played the violin and the guitar until arthritis interfered with that outlet for his musical talent. “Coincidentally, around the same time, I discovered that computers were sophisticated enough to make it possible to write scores and have them play back.” At that point, Brown decided to formalize his musical education — beyond having learned to read music while he was in elementary school — by taking some university courses and by producing more original pieces. Over the years, he says he has written hundreds. The most recent, a piece scored for string orchestra and solo violin, was written as a memorial for a friend in the U.S. The Octava Symphony Orchestra in Seattle, Wash., presented the première on July 22. Next on Brown’s musical agenda is an opera. For this project, he is working with a composer in the U.S., while he writes the libretto. “We’re in the early stages now,” says Brown. “He writes exquisite music, and I’d really like to follow it through and see it performed. It’s about Ashley Smith. There is something about her story that really gets to me, because when I was a teenager trying to make my way through the system, I ran into a lot of people like the authorities she had to face.” Then 19 years old, Ashley Smith strangled herself in 2007 while under suicide watch in custody at the Grand Valley Institution for Women in Kitchener, Ont. Her family brought a lawsuit for negligence against Correctional Services,

question. But, I still had a lot of music in my life. I was involved in glee clubs and choirs, and the operatic society in high school. My father tried to discourage that and took his fist to me every now and again when he thought I was getting too big for my britches.” Brown’s journey away from home began at a men’s shelter in Toronto (he claimed he was 17). Eventually, he overcame his high school dropout status,
passing through assorted odd jobs, until — with the help of several mentors — he completed his education as a university graduate with a major in comparative religion. Eventually, he settled into a more conventional life as a high school English teacher. He married, and he and his wife, Ann, raised three sons. They recently sold their rural bed-andbreakfast operation and moved to Smiths Falls.
They chose Smiths Falls, says Brown, because they are enthusiastic members of the Smiths Falls Duplicate Bridge Club. It was “the biggest pull and the place where we knew the most people.” For more information on the bridge club, which meets on Monday evenings and Tuesday afternoons at the Royal Canadian Legion, contact Don Grant at 613-283-7164.

which was eventually settled out of court in 2011. Brown, who says he sees some reflection of his early life in Ashley Smith’s story, lived in Kitchener from the time he was 11 until he left an abusive home environment at 14 to make his own way in the world. “I was repressed at home,” says Brown. “I wasn’t allowed to express an opinion or ask a

Lynda & Peter Davis 50th wedding anniversary! Lynda and Peter were married August 19, 1967 in Britannia United Church in Ottawa. They bought a farm in 1970 in Pakenham and raised their 3 children there until 1989 when they relocated to Ashton. They spent 28 years working together in real estate as Broker/Owners of N.P. Davis Real Estate & Insurance Ltd., Re/Max and then Sutton Group. They now reside near Perth where Peter is retired and Lynda is an Office Manager. Through all the ups and downs “in joy and in sorrow, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health” they have reaffirmed the promises they exchanged on their wedding day. Also celebrated are the moments when they understood what unconditional love means. Congratulations Mom & Dad, Grandma & Grandpa, Great Grandma & Grandpa

ELLIOTT
HUMPHRIES, Peggy
Peggy Humphries left the physical restrictions of her earthly existence and joined David, her loving and attentive husband after living a full live spanning over ninety years. She passed away March 3, 2017 on Woman’s World Day of Prayer which was more than appropriate because of her faith and involvement with her church. Peggy had been very happy while living at the John Parrott Centre (or Parrot Cage as she used to call it) in Napanee, Ontario. She was surrounded by loving family and compassionate staff members during her final days and for her passing. Peggy (Margaret) Joan Humphries (nee Melville) born on July 15, 1926 and the only child of Norman Bruce Melville and Pearl Regina Melville (DeMille) of Toronto. Peggy attended Moulton Ladies College in Hamilton following the completion of high school. She met David and they visited back and forth between Toronto and Montreal. They got married in Toronto on January 14, 1950 and settled in Montreal, close to David’s parents, John Humphries (artist Laureate of Canada) and Irene Humphries (Bonehill) formerly of England. Their marriage was blessed with three children, Bruce Humphries (Susan) in August 1950, Margaret Ray (Donald) in May 1953 and Edward Humphries (Mary) in May of 1955. Peggy trained as a RNA (Registered Nursing Assistant) at the Catherine Booth Hospital in Montreal and continued to work in nursing after the family moved to North Gower in 1968. Throughout her life Peggy was always involved in church and caring for others through the church. Along with David, they ran a ministry through Holy Cross Church that collected articles of clothing and children’s toys. The items were sorted, cleaned and shipped to Davis Inlet for those in need. Summer holidays were spent camping with many trips down east and a trip to Edmonton to visit relatives. Once the children “left the nest” Peggy and David became snowbirds and spent time in Florida each winter. Peggy loved celebrating special occasions with the family. Last summer most of the family were able to attend Peggy’s surprise “English Tea Party” to celebrate her 90th birthday in style. Peggy was a memorable lady and has left an huge empty spot in our hearts and lives. She will be forever remembered by her three children and her grandchildren Christopher, Tom (Christina), Diana and Bob (Katherine). Although they were living some distance away, Peggy adored her great grandchildren Alison, Laura, Isla, Ailis and Charles. Peggy was close to many of the staff at her home in the John Parrot Centre and the family thanks them for their patience and loving care for Mom. Special blessings for Deacon Dave Smith of Napanee and Deacon John Morrison of Bath for their spiritual support for Mom and the family. We hope that friends can join us for a Mass of Christian Burial at Holy Cross Catholic Church, 505 Clothier Street West, Kemptville, on Saturday, August 26, 2017 at 11:00 am. The service will be followed by a celebration of “a life well lived” with Peggy’s family and friends over a luncheon in the church hall. Donations in memory of Peggy are welcome to the Kemptville Hospital Foundation or a charity of your choice. We encourage you to dress in “happy colours” for this occasion.

My thoughts of you may make me laugh, Just thinking about the crazy things you said or have done. They may make me tear up and cry because, My heart still aches… I miss you! I talk about you with family and friends and they all miss you very much. Life continues on whether you want it to or not. There is always change but because the heart never forgets, my love for you will never end or fade. This is who Scott was and this is his legacy… What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, love, courage, or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example. You are the best Scott Millar. With tearful sobs, Wyatt says he doesn’t remember his dad. He doesn’t remember his voice. “I don’t remember dad doing things with me…” It breaks my heart.

Two-year-old Zoro is a handsome, shiny black male with a couple of small white patches. He absolutely loves people and enjoys being stroked and cuddled. But he is not a fan of other cats — when he was in the big run with several other cats, he just hid under a bed and growled at the world. But when he is in a space of his own, he is active, inquisitive and affectionate with everyone who comes to visit. He would do best in a one-cat family.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, even though you need to concentrate, do not turn up the intensity so much that it becomes stressful. Take a break every now and then to unwind and get away.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 You are at a turning point in your life and now may be a good time to make a few key changes, Leo. They may involve making new friends or exploring a new career.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you are eager to listen and learn, but you also want to create your own experiences and share them with others. Find a balance between being a teacher and a student.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, even if you have a lot to get done, you will be able to make decisions on your feet and adapt as the situation calls for it this week. Changes can come about quickly.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you excel at thinking through decisions before making them. This careful approach tends to work in your favor, but some decisions can be made more quickly than others. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, an important decision must be made in the very near future. Your judgement may be clouded by extraneous information, so try to block unnecessary noise.

OPP actively recruiting auxiliary police officers BY LAURIE WEIR
ljweir@metroland.com
The Lanark County OPP Detachment is looking for a few good men and women to join their auxiliary unit. Detachment Inspector Derek Needham said they are actively recruiting about a dozen new volunteers as they are authorized to have up to 21 auxiliary constables in the unit. Currently they’re sitting at nine. Auxiliary officers put in about 5,000 volunteer hours per year, and each recruit is required at best, to commit 16 hours per month, including 10 hours on patrol or in the community, and another six hours of training. “In addition to many members of the auxiliary unit becoming full time officers with the OPP, other police services also take them,” Needham said during an interview at the detachment Aug. 3. “It’s a compliment to the auxiliary program, and a compliment to the type of people that we are attracting to the auxiliary program as well. Our unit here alone has had some of its auxiliary members go to many different areas – like Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton, RCMP, Belleville.” Needham said going the auxiliary route to become a police officer is a great way to see if it is a good fit. “Being a part of the auxiliary unit has some big benefits to it,” he said. “It allows you to give back to your Laurie Weir/Metroland community. It allows you to see the Insp. Derek Needham of the Lanark County OPP detachment in Perth, joins acting auxiliary Insp. Dale Visinside role of policing, so it’s great for See AUXILIARY page K2

someone who is not entirely sure they want to do this as a career.” Needham said it’s a big commitment to apply and go through the training to become a police officer, “and if you’re not 100 per cent sure if that career path is right for you, this is a way to explore that.” There are two types of people who become auxiliary constables, Needham said: those gunning for policing as a career, and those who would like to give back to their communities in a meaningful way. “We have folks like Dale who want to give back to their community in a unique way that interests them,” Needham said. “Sometimes there is crossover.” Auxiliary policing Dale Visneskie is the auxiliary unit’s acting inspector. He’s been a member of the Lanark County unit for three years. This is the Ottawa man’s 11th year with the program. He commutes from Stittsville to Perth when he’s on the auxiliary clock – sometimes up to 20 hours a week. “My schooling is in electronics engineering and my law enforcement experience came from the RCMP. I stayed more on the technical side,” Visneskie said. “I was going to go into the direct force but when I came on it was during the Oka Crisis, so they needed to do fly-overs and get proper mapping done but they didn’t have a technologist.” The Oka Crisis was a standoff between Mohawk protesters, police and the army that lasted from July 11 to Sept. 26, 1990. A proposed expansion of a golf club and development of condominiums on disputed land that included a Mohawk burial ground was the major dispute. When Visneskie left the RCMP, he started his own company making law enforcement equipment, like radar units. While doing a ride-along with a police officer, Visneskie said he was encouraged to become an auxiliary constable. Visneskie volunteered more than 1,000 volunteer hours last year – well above the requirement. There is no real advantage taking the auxiliary route to become a police officer … “you’re just more aware of what’s going on when you get to police college,” Visneskie said. A day as an auxiliary officer is two-
fold. There is the patrol aspect, where the auxiliary officer would make arrangements with a police officer to go out on the road. “You pretty well follow their lead. You’re a second pair of eyes,” Visneskie said, which is his favourite part about he position. "I like being asked my opinion about things, too," he said, as he and the inspector will often have conversations about situations. There is a power to arrest, but only if given that authority by an officer. “Often we’re asked to assist in an arrest – an impaired driver,” or bar scuffles, Visneskie said. The second part of an auxiliary constable’s time with the force is training. “Our use of force options are batons and handcuffs,” Visneskie said. They also do self-defense and firearms training – just in case they are required to use firearms. Auxiliary officers don’t, however, carry a gun. They just need to be aware of how to store, and use them safely. Needham said when he was on front lines, he enjoyed having an auxiliary officer along on patrol. “They want to be part of their community – we have stringent requirements when hiring auxiliaries as well,” Needham said. “We have very good people in the program. We make sure we get the best applicants.” The recruitment Jennifer Tenbult of Kemptville (columnist, and former reporter, with Metroland Media) is in the process of becoming an auxiliary officer. “I made the decision to apply for the OPP auxiliary program because my kids are growing up in this community and I wanted to contribute to the good work the OPP does every single day,” she said in an email exchange. “I'm currently waiting to do the training portion of the program, which will be an amazing learning opportunity for me. I definitely recommend joining up if you are physically able and have the time to volunteer. There is nothing more gratifying than volunteering in your community.” Tenbult will apply to the LeedsGrenville auxiliary unit when she finishes her training. The length of the process to become an auxiliary officer is beneficial, she said, which she started over a year ago. “It gives you time to get into shape and also ensure you are committed to becoming an auxiliary officer. The time is basically a buffer for serious
reflection.” For Tenbult, becoming an auxiliary officer is her opportunity to give back to her community. She has no plans to become an OPP officer at this time. “Maybe I'll feel differently after volunteering with the OPP, but right now I'm just interested in helping out where I can.” If auxiliary policing sounds like an option for you, check out the eligibility requirements. * Be at least 18 years of age; * Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada; * Have a valid driver’s license; * Have completed an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent;
* Have completed Standard First Aid and Basic Rescuer (level C) CPR courses; and, * Are of good moral character and are mentally and physically able to perform the duties of the auxiliary position. Once you have been selected, the process continues with testing; interviews will be held by a panel of three people; an aptitude and psychological test will then take place, followed by a background investigation, medical and vision test. If you successfully pass, a one-week orientation will follow. “This entire process has taken up to two years in the past, but we’re trying to get people through faster,” said
Visneskie. “It takes about a year now.” Auxiliary officers then apply to the detachment for a position – normally that’s where they live, noted Needham. Once hired, a year’s probation follows. “We will have recruiting sessions throughout the year,” noted Visneskie. “We’ll have an open house – come on in and check it out.” Needham added, “The Lanark County detachment values our auxiliary unit. We are actively looking for community minded individuals who want to make a difference.” For more information on the OPP auxiliary program, visit www.opp.ca and click on auxiliary policing to start your application process.

Second annual Great Gower Run set for Sept. 30 Runners are getting set for the second annual Great Gower Run, to be held on Saturday, Sept. 30. The two-kilometre, five-km, and 10-km routes take participants through village and country scenery at the peak of the fall season, making it a great event for new and seasoned runners. Last year more than 350 people registered for this family-friendly event and organizers plan to build
on that success. “We are aiming to get a least 400 registrants this year,” says co-organizer Jennifer Williams. “We got a lot of positive feedback from runners last year. We’re hoping they will tell friends about it and bring them out for the second annual run.” The two-km route runs through the village and is open to families, young children in strollers, walkers and even leashed dogs.
The five-km and 10-km routes follow a mix of village and rural roads. Both runs are chip-timed and are separated into youth and adult divisions. Walkers are welcome on the five-km route. All distances start and finish at the Alfred Taylor Community Centre (2300 Community Way) in North Gower. “It’s a fun and healthy way for the community to come together,” says
co-organizer Rosanna Dolinki. Tara Hawkins Kavanagh and Andrea Ross are the additional two members of the organizing committee and say they are excited to use the funds raised by the run to support the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario's YouthNet mental health program and to initiate a youth-oriented project for the community of North Gower. For more details or to register,
visit the run’s website at www.greatgowerrun.com/register. If you’re not a runner but want to be involved in this community initiative, volunteers are needed to help on race day. The Great Gower Run promises a fun day for teams or high school students to fill their volunteer requirements. Please contact the race directors at greatgowerrun@gmail.com.

Drivers and passengers can register there from 10 a.m. to noon. Participants collect playing cards at stops along the 40-km trail and at the end of the run. Cash prizes of $100, $75 and $50 are awarded to the top three hands. Each participant is also eligible to win one of

Technical differences
W
hen I was a kid, the special effects in Twister and ET were mind blowing. How did they do that? Make a tornado come alive on screen without killing all the actors? I still don’t know and can only assume blue screens are like magic. Growing up in the ’90s was a luxury kids nowadays will never understand. Becoming a mother at a young age prompted a naïve assumption that my children would never be able to pull a fast one on me. I would never be that parent who thinks their kid is the only sober one at a party. I would never sit at home saying my kid is the ‘good one,’ simply observing as other people’s kids experimented with drugs. I would know they were up to no good. After all, I was one of them less than two decades prior. I know all the tricks. But lately I have become all too aware that my kids’ generation is a whole world apart from my own. I didn’t own a cellphone till the age of 21. I bought my first computer when I started college. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram – all these new social media outlets frighten me. As Dorothy would say, “We’re not in Kansas anymore…” But what really gets me is the difference in movies my kids watch versus my childhood staples, like Pocahontas and Bambi. My kids are growing up with cinematic accomplishments like Moana and Frozen. I don’t know what happened in the last decade, but the difference in quality is stark.
T
rain up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” ~ Proverbs 22:6, NKJV. It’s more than just a bible verse, and I am hoping it applies to puppies as well as to children. We had a large, rather untrainable dog before who, although lovable, was a going concern. If let outside without a lead, Cody would dash off to parts unknown. We are hoping that Fergus’ electronic collar is effectively teaching him his boundaries so that he won’t run away if left untended. The funny thing is, we never had to use these techniques with our dogs when I was growing up. We just told them to stay and they stayed. We never had one injured on the road, and none of them ran away. They visited the neighbours occasionally, sure. But they always came home. Cody was terrible at walking on the leash. He would pull me so hard that he would choke himself and have to stop to catch his breath. I tried stopping and rewarding him with treats, along with a number of
JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION And they don’t even realize. I recently rewatched a few of the classics, like 101 Dalmatians and The Fox and the Hound and it dawned on me that my kids likely have no appreciation for the wonder of animated evolution. Movies like Toy Story were the biggest things back in the day and Toy Story 3 just blew my childhood out of the water. I hate to be the person to break down a significant generational gap in such an insignificant way, but there it is folks. Where was my Moana? The girl who learned as she went and faced unbeatable odds to accomplish the impossible, all the while supporting a man emotionally to reach his full potential? The closest I got to animated female power was Pocahontas, who was the martyr not the hero. Sure, she sang and talked to trees, but the story was still about love: not female butt-kicking awesomeness. There is a shift in our society that I am loving. Women are capable of anything, not just falling in love with a handsome stranger. And that message is (borderline) wasted on the generation that can’t spell or cope with direct human interaction. What exactly will the next decade bring I wonder …

different commands to get him to stop pulling, but it never worked. I felt it would be unfair to introduce a choke collar at his advanced age, so I just put up with his shenanigans. It took all my strength to hold onto the leash. It was quite a workout. I couldn’t walk Cody much during the winter, because more than once when he tugged me along the ice I lost my footing and landed on my face, in the middle of the road. Fergus is getting big, strong and brave and he too loves to pull on his leash. It’s time to nip this situation in the proverbial bud. I have been doing my research online and in the dog owning community and I think I have a solution. It’s called the Halti. Basically it’s shaped
much like a horse halter, with which I am very familiar. You slip one loop up over his ears and the other around his muzzle. The lead attaches to a ring under his chin. If he pulls on the lead, it tightens the loop around his muzzle, which makes him slow down. I’ve seen the Halti in action and it basically turns a wild, human-tugging, zigzagging beast into a well-behaved canine sauntering along directly beside his master. This is our goal. The only problem is that Fergus hates his Halti. I’ve tried putting the Halti on him every day for a short period of time so that he can get used to it. We’ve had it two weeks now with very little improvement. He used to spend a great deal of time trying to scratch it off his face but now he is resigned to just lying there, chin in the grass. He won’t get up and he won’t walk with the Halti on. So I turned to the Internet for help. It seems I have been going about this all wrong. I watched a video on the dog halter and the trainer advises you introduce the device
gradually, with copious amounts of treats. First you coax the dog to put his muzzle through the halter, and reward each time with a treat. Then you pull the halter up over his head as he puts his muzzle through the halter. Now you introduce the instruction “get dressed.” Again, more treats. Finally you buckle the halter on him and reward with – you guessed it – still more treats. I think that woman handed out approximately 52 treats during the course of the two-minute video. Clearly I will be stocking up. I am wondering if there is such a thing as a treat card, like a coffee card where you get a stamp each time
you buy a pack and your tenth one is free? Because if there isn’t, perhaps there should be. We went back to the pet store today, Fergus and I, to ensure the halter I bought him has been properly fitted to his five-monthold head. The clerk witnessed his paralysis after the halter was on, and declared he was acting out in protest. We headed to the drive-thru on the way home, and Fergus was introduced to Tim Hortons plain Timbits. I had to show him there is an upside to what he seems to perceive as an extremely humiliating experience.

Academy of Expressive Dance launches ‘It Takes A Village’ campaign BY PAULINA HREBACKA
phrebacka@metroland.com
The Academy of Expressive Dance in South Mountain has launched a unique campaign, called “It Takes a Village,” aimed towards promoting the dance academy and local businesses. Andrea Gaw-Prekob, the owner of the academy, spearheaded the campaign and has been taking photos of her dancers posed in various shops around South Mountain, Winchester, Kemptville, and surrounding areas. “The idea was to take an everyday business, and juxtapose a dancer in a promotional picture,” she said. “It creates interest and grabs attention, and people will take notice, because it’s unexpected.” Gaw-Prekob refers to this process as “un-advertising.” Each business is photographed with dancers from the academy posing expressively and artistically in the non-conventional setting. “I started this project to help support local businesses, but in a way that only we could,” said Gaw-Prekob. A social media “unveiling” takes place on the Academy’s Facebook page every second day, which you are encouraged to follow, and witness the project unfold as it happens. “On Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, I post a photo ‘hint’ about where the next location will be,” said Gaw-Prekob. “If you comment on the photo and guess the next location correctly, on the same day that the photo is posted, your name will go into a draw which will take place at the end of the campaign.” The winner of the draw will receive a gift basket made up of donated items from the local businesses. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, the photos from
the shoots are revealed. Gaw-Prekob founded the Academy of Expressive Dance in 1991 to serve aspiring dancers in the community. Over the years, she has worked with well over 2,500 students. Her unique approach and openness has been known to immerse each student in the arts and inspire individual creativity and expression. The academy’s success is due to Gaw-Prekob's commitment to provide quality instruction with personalized attention. Classes are educational and organized, balanced with just the right amount of fun and humor. Gaw-Prekob said she believes in teamwork and solid dance training, and has a special rapport with her students. She personally instructs all of the children and teen classes herself. “This promotion is a work in progress - some things may work, or we may discover better ways of doing things as we go,” said Gaw-Prekob. “Such is the nature of travelling the unbeaten path! At the very least, I hope to get people talking. Looking. Seeing something different.” All of the time that Gaw-Prekob and her dancers have invested in the “It Takes A Village” campaign has been volunteered, and the academy is currently visiting over 20 different local businesses for the project. “I do my best to showcase each business creatively, uniquely, and professionally,” she said. “I’m the photographer, donating my time to organize dancers, costumes, and the scheduling.” Gaw-Prekob hopes to wrap up the campaign around mid-August. “As entrepreneurs, we can lead very closedoff lives, surviving only in our own ‘business world,’” said Gaw-Prekob. “My thought was of community - supporting each other makes

My dancers benefit from helping others, and learn to ‘be the difference’ in their own community. I hope that this project helps bring businesses together and support one another, which will ultimately help us to help ourselves.” A Facebook “like” or share of the photos
from the campaign goes a long way to promote the academy and the participating local businesses.

Kemptville's Neon Night fun run shines light on childhood cancer research One of Kemptville’s premier events is coming back for its fourth year. It’s time to get out your glow gear and register! The Neon Night Fun Run is planning to once again create a massive glow-in-the-dark event for all the moms, dads, aunts, uncles, grammas, papas, kids and babies in the area to help fight childhood cancer. This two-kilometre and five-kilometre noncompetitive fun run takes place from Riverside Park in Kemptville on Saturday, Sept. 23. Registration and the pre-party starts at 5:30 p.m. and opening ceremonies will begin at 7 p.m. The registration fee is $40 in advance/$50 on event day and $10 for children aged 15 years and under. You can also register as a family for $90 which includes two adults and up to three children. Register by Sept. 1 to guarantee your T-shirt size. Join as an individual or as part of a team. From superheroes to Star Wars characters and puppeteers, there is a lot of fun to be had! Cheerleaders, a dance troupe and a circus act will also be there to entertain.

This year so far, $3.8 million has been invested in 34 different research projects on childhood cancer. There has been significant progress as a result of these investments. Thanks to our city council, September will be proclaimed Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in North Grenville. Stay tuned for the date of the raising of the flag!

A large team of dedicated volunteers has been working very hard to make this year’s fair one of the best yet. The 2017 South Mountain Fair will bring brand new midway games, rides, events, and live entertainment. To mark this historic year of the South Mountain Fair, some exciting new events have been planned, such as the Heritage Parade featuring horse
drawn floats, antique cars and tractors, and period costumes. The Heritage Parade will be followed by a hand milking contest on Saturday August 19. Some of the other events and activities featured at the South Mountain Fair include midway games, amusement rides, a truck pull on Thursday August 17, live music and entertainment, a demolition derby on Friday August 18, agricultural and floricultural exhibits, a pizza-eating contest on Saturday August 19, a heavy horse show, country music singer Tanya Tucker on Sunday, August 20 and
much more. The fair will also feature musical performances from “The Strangers” Ben & Noel Haggard, Sticks N Stones, Gail Gavan, Jamie Jarvo and Unwound. For the kids, there will be a Children’s Entertainment & Play Tent during the four-day event, showcasing comedy magic shows, a ventriloquist
puppeteer, face painting, a Paw Patrol meet & greet, a Bubble Zone, a petting zoo, and a corn maze. A Children’s Fun Pony & Horse show is also set to take place on Saturday, August 19. Last year marked Crown Amusements’ 30th year as the fair’s midway partner. As the owners of Crown Amusements retire, the South Moun-
tain Fair will feature midway games and amusement rides from a new partner, Carter Shows. Weekend and single-day passes can be purchased at the Scotiabank in South Mountain during regular business hours. For more event information, visit SouthMountainFair.ca, or e-mail info@southmountainfair.ca.

Metroland reporter receives national award from Royal Canadian Legion BY PAULINA HREBACKA
phrebacka@metroland.com
On Aug. 12, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 in Carleton Place hosted its annual corn roast. The event included live music and a presentation of awards to recognize the hard work of some of the volunteers involved with the legion, as well as appreciate some of the people and organizations who support and promote the work the legion does in the local community. One such award is the Royal Canadian Leglon Media Award, established by the legion’s Dominion Command. The purpose of the award is to recognize individuals or organizations from the media that publicize and support the work in the community
of legion branches, zones, districts and provincial commands. “In our community of Carleton Place there is no one more deserving of this award than local Canadian Gazette reporter Tara Gesner,” Ontario Provincial Command chairman Ron Goebel said. “Her willingness in assisting and co-operating with Carleton Place Branch 192 of the Royal Canadian Legion in the reporting and publishing of various legion events within our community has been nothing but exceptional. Her regular articles in our Canadian Gazette newspaper include stories about our local veterans leading up to our Remembrance Day parades and ceremonies, our annual Poppy Campaign, our annual
Veterans’ Banquet, our annual Honours and Awards Banquet and our annual Youth Education Literary competitions, in addition to reports on seniors events and various sporting events, just to name a few. She goes out of her way to assist us in promoting our branch through her well-written articles with true professionalism.” Goebel went on to express his gratitude and appreciation for Gesner’s photographic skills and commitment to supporting the legion’s efforts within the community all year round. As she accepted her award, Gesner expressed her gratitude for the recognition, and she spoke to the importance of sharing the life experiences of local veterans.

Seaway Surge wins Akadema Summer Classic in Syracuse The Seaway Surge Minor Peewee team recently won the 2017 Akadema Summer Classic baseball tournament in Syracuse, NY. In a division with nine highly competitive American teams, the boys very quickly realized that advancing to the finals in this tournament would be a difficult task. After going one and two in the preliminary round, the Surge team may have been overlooked by most observers as a playoff contender but they played some great baseball when the games counted. A birth in the championship seemed especially unlikely for Seaway, when considering the game situation as their quarterfinal playoff game was coming to a close. Against the Camillus Wildcats, the Surge were tied 6-6 in the bottom of the final inning with the Wildcats at the plate. Camillus loaded the bases with no outs and a 3-0 count on the batter. Surge pitcher Braden Leeder took a deep breath and then delivered a series of perfect throws, finally enticing the Wildcat hitters to swing their bats. Two batters in a row hit grounders to third baseman Rhett McLean, who twice zipped the ball to catcher Evan Cory for a pair of force outs at home. The third Wildcat batter hit a weak line drive which was snagged right before it hit the dirt by a diving Wesley Finner from the short stop position. The Surge went on to score two runs
Kemptville’s Seaway Surge Minor Peewee team won the 2017 Akadema Summer Classic baseball tournament in Syracuse, NY on Sunday July 30. The Surge’s victory adds one more impressive accomplishment to a highly successful tournament campaign in 2017. Bottom row, from left: Wesley Finner, Gavin McDougall, Evan Cory, Rhett McLean, Zach Hale. Top row, from left: Quinn Harvie, Sam Nicholson, Braden Leeder, Justin Van Luit, Rory Gilmour, Noah Geurts, Nathan Hay. Coaches, from left: Head coach Dennis Van Luit, assistant coach Wes Cory, general manager Chris Finner. Absent: Travis Ouellette. in the top of the tiebreaker inning and In the semi, the Surge avenged then held their opponent scoreless to an earlier loss to the Syracuse Sparadvance to the semifinals. tans with a 12-5 victory. Finner and
McLean combined to handle the pitching duties. Next, Braden Leeder returned to the mound for the finals against the CNY Naturals Gold. Prior to the game, the tournament organizers from Champions Events stated that no Canadian team had ever reached their championship game. The Naturals scored the first two runs but Seaway eventually responded in the sea-saw battle. Leeder seems to get stronger on the mound as the game advanced but Central New York’s lefty pitcher was also performing at an elite level. (The pitcher’s pick-off move to first base was the best the Surge players had seen all season.) With a slim 4-3 lead in the top of the final inning, Nathan Hay provided some insurance with a sharply hit RBI single scoring Zach Hale. Eventually Leeder also scored on an error and then Finner cashed in Hay with an RBI single to bring the score to 7-3. Braden Leeder capped the game with another “three upthree down” effort, bringing his impressive strikeout total to eight. Some notable statistics from the six games of the tournament: Evan Cory scored 7 runs. Rory Gilmour had 10 RBI. Wesley Finner batted .667 followed closely by Justin Van Luit at .615. The Surge’s victory adds one more impressive accomplishment to a highly successful tournament campaign in 2017, with a championship
appearance in Kanata, a tournament victory in Kemptville, and now an exciting win in Syracuse. Coach Dennis Van Luit chalks up much of the success to the players’ willingness to strive for improvement by committing themselves to a five-month competitive season that started back in midMarch. The Seaway Surge Minor Peewee team will wrapped up their season on Aug. 13-14 with a best of three game series with Kanata AA for the National Capital (NCOBA) Championship. The Seaway Surge Baseball Club offers Elite “AA” and “A” Rep level baseball to skilled young men and women looking to develop their talent under the guidance of excellent coaching and in a highly competitive environment. Players come from Kemptville, South Mountain, Prescott, Iroquois, Manotick and Marionville. As a member of Baseball Ontario, the National Capital Ontario Baseball Association (NCOBA) and the Eastern Ontario Baseball Association (EOBA) our teams play regular season games against high level teams from throughout the National Capital Region and eastern Ontario, compete in tournaments in Canada and the United States and challenge the best teams from Ontario for the Baseball Ontario and Baseball Canada Championships.

Canada’s top female golfer Brooke Henderson will have home-course advantage in more ways than one when the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open tees off at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club in the Hunt Club this month. “I’ve never played an LPGA tour event so close to home before and so to have the fans and my family and my friends come out and watch it is really amazing, and I’m really excited for the opportunity to put on a good show for them,” the 19-year-old Smiths Falls native said June 21 during a media event at the club, held to promote the Canadian Pacific-sponsored
be a little sibling rivalry, I guess but we’re best friends and we get along really well.” Do they ever have any spats? “Not really, no. I think we may be the unusual sisters,” she said with a laugh. “There’s going to be some disagreements at some point but we work through them really well.”
In addition to playing so close to her hometown, Henderson also considers the south Ottawa course her home club. She first walked its links at age of eight during the 2008 National Women’s Open, and last played the course – of which nine holes have been redesigned – a month ago. Henderson acknowledged that competing Aug. 21 to 27 in the LPGA Tour championship, in which a total purse of US$2.25 million will be up for grabs, comes with added pressure. But she said she has learned a lot over the last two years about the importance of time management, that “… if I want to perform to the best of my ability I have to say no sometimes. “But I also want to embrace it and spend a lot of time with media and fans and show them how I appreciate their support. But with that being said, if I play well, then everybody’s happy,” she said. HOMETOWN PRIDE It was just about a year ago when the Town of Smiths Falls opened its arms to welcome the Henderson sisters home after competing in the summer Olympics at Rio
Coming home to the big welcome was “so special,” Brooke said. “I just glanced over there, and seeing the amount of people there already … it’s really cool for both of us.” On her super jam-packed LPGA 2016 season, Brooke said it was “definitely busy” but they enjoyed Laurie Weir/Metroland Brooke and Brittany Henderson wave to the crowd during their home- the travelling and “seeing a ton of new places.” coming Sept. 9, 2016 in Centennial Park, Smiths Falls. during her break-out year on the about her first year on the tour.

2017 LPGA Canadian golfing legends Lorie Kane (left) and Brooke Henderson flank Kanata’s Zander Zatylny, a CHEO cardiac patient and child ambassador of the CP Women’s Open at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club on June 21. The event served as a preview of what fans can expect when the Open comes to the Ottawa course Aug. 21 to 27.

CONNECTION ERIN MCCRACKEN
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
During the CP Women’s Open press conference and preview July 21 at the Ottawa Golf and Hunt Club, CP anbassadors Brooke Henderson and Lorie Kane took part in a skills competition to raise funds for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, the 2017 Canadian Women’s Open’s charity of choice. A star of the press conference, flanked by Henderson and Kane, was Kanata’s Zander Zatylny. The CHEO cardiac patient was born with a rare congenital heart defect in which there is just one heart blood vessel, restricting blood flow.
Erin McCracken/Metroland
“It means so much,” Chrystal Raymond said of her seven-yearold son’s role as the 2017 Women’s Open child ambassador. Zander was born with truncus arteriosis, as well as a hole in his heart that was corrected during his first open-heart surgery when he was just 22 days old. A second operation followed when he was one, and stents were inserted at age two to ensure unrestricted blood flow. His last operation was in September. “He’s had eight stents in his heart,” Raymond said. Zander returns to CHEO’s cardiac catheterization lab every six months for check-ups, more often if intervention is needed. CHEO pediatric cardiologist, Dr. Suzie Lee, said funds raised through the national championship tournament and Canadian Pacific’s heart charity campaign
Kane is also no stranger to playing the Hunt, having competed there in 1994 and again in 2008 – the only two times the club has hosted the national women’s championship.
will help the hospital upgrade its cardiac catheterization lab and also allow it to serve radiologists.
Ottawa to help raise $2 million through the tournament and the rail company’s charity campaign.
The lab is home to specialized X-ray equipment, and is where catheter wires and tubes can be inserted in patients’ veins to diagnose or repair heart problems.
At age seven, Zander may not yet realize the full impact of his role as the young face of CHEO’s specialized lab, but his parents know how important it is to share his story.
“Our lab is aging and technology advances,” Lee said. “The newer labs available will be able to give us as good imaging or even better imaging with less radiation dose, particularly for our smallest patients.” Kane took the opportunity at the press conference to challenge
“That’s what we tell Zander,” Raymond said. “We said, ‘Because you’re trying to help raise this money you’re not only helping yourself, you’re helping hundreds of thousands of kids eventually.’” HOME-CLUB ADVANTAGE
“There will be nine holes very familiar to everyone, and there will be nine holes that will be most familiar to Brooke,” Kane said. “Then it’s just having the comforts and then also the discomforts of playing at home,” Kane said of the pressures that come with playing in front of a hometown crush of fans. In terms of the pressure Henderson will face playing so close to home, Kane has some advice: “Enjoy it ...

PRO JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
Ottawa golf pro Kevin Haime says the average golfer can learn a lot by watching LPGA golfers in the CP Women’s Open at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club. Haime is one of Canada’s leading golf instructors. In 2000, he received the Canadian PGA’s National Teacher of the Year Award, the top recognition for golf instructors in Canada. He notes that higher handicap golfers frequently swing off balance. This does not happen with the LPGA pros whom he says are disciplined swingers of the club who always stay in balance. While the PGA pro’s swing relies on power and velocity, the LPGA women’s game is based on rhythm and balance. He says that there’s a lot to be learned
by watching how these LPGA pros hit the golf ball with great rhythm and with such ease. As to where to watch these LPGA pros during the CP Women’s Open, he advises picking a favourite golfer or two and follow them for a whole round one day and then on another day pick out a couple of viewing spots on the course and stay there, watching the golfers as they play through. He says that there are a couple of nice vistas at the Ottawa Hunt that are good viewing spots. One is behind the par-three eighth green. From there, a spectator can also watch drives and approaches on the par-4 7th hole and also see the shots on the short par-three 17th hole as well. Another good viewing spot is behind the 15th tee where a spectator can not only see the players play that hole but also can see the approach shots to the par-5 9th and 18th holes. Haime describes the Ottawa Hunt as a target golf course or, as he says, “a second shot golf
course.” While the greens are not small, there are small landing areas within the greens and so the golfers who are hitting their irons well and can control the spin on their approach shots will score well. He says that the Ottawa Hunt will not be an overly intimidating course for these LPGA pros and will provide a lot of birdie opportunities for them. He predicts that these golfers are going to impress golf fans with their scoring, saying the winning score could be as low as 20-under par. But Haime acknowledges that as happens with every tour level event, weather and pin positions can really affect scoring. “No matter what, though, I’m expecting a few really low rounds,” Haime says. “The course just isn’t long enough to stop all the world’s best women golfers.” Haime acknowledges the story of the week will be the play of
Monday to Saturday Sunday Holidays
Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls who is one of the top golfers on today’s LPGA tour. “I’m expecting a pretty exciting week for Brooke,” he says, calling her a special athlete who responds well to pressure, something that will be needed as he says that things will be kind of crazy around her at the tournament, with huge crowds no doubt following her on the course. Haime recommends attending the tournament for any golf fans. Indeed, he himself will be there on site as he is doing radio reports from the Hunt on the Thursday and Friday of the tournament. This is not an unfamiliar role for him as he has hosted a live call-in radio show “Tee It Up” on TSN 1200 radio for years, providing golf instruction and covering golf news. Haime, who attended the University of Illinois on a golf scholarship in the 1980s, has been instructing golf for 26 years. In 2007 the PGA of Canada recognized him for his outstanding
contribution to the game of golf. He operates the Kevin Haime Golf Centre and the Kevin Haime Golf School at 560 Hazeldean Road adjacent to the Carp River between Kanata and Stittsville. The 2017 CP Women’s Open will be played at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club during the week of Aug. 21 to Aug. 27. This will be the third time that this championship tournament will be hosted at the Ottawa Hunt, with the tournament held there previously in 1994 and 2008. The Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club has hosted a number of notable championships during its 107year history including the 1994 Du Maurier Ltd. Classic, the 2008 Canadian Women’s Open, the 1932 Canadian Open and three Canadian Amateur Championships in 1937, 1960 and 1970. The course was originally crafted by renowned golf architect Willie Park and was redesigned in 20132014 by international golf course designer Dr. Michael Hurdzan.
Best of Luck Brooke & Brittany Henderson!
